I would end it asap and let her and her family know exactly why. I think 20, 30, 40 years ago, it could be done with 2 people with opposite views. In this day and age, with everything being polarized and the constant barrage of political news, I don't think it can be done.

can go on but don't want to turn this into an essay that nobody will read. I don't know too many older conservative men, so I turn to the OT. Has anyone made it work? Should I end this relationship now before it's too even harder, it'll already be pretty damn tough. Thanks.


It will never work if you need to respect your partner. They don’t make liberals who are intellectual and honest anymore.

The good news is that your situation will handle itself. They don’t make liberals who are capable of marrying a Trump supporter either. There’s zero chance she’s willing to marry you.

Move on.

Liberal, as in a Southern liberal circa 1991. Perhaps . I can and have coexisted fine w such.

Today's leftist NE-influenced moonbats? No. Way.

Have a conversation with here. If she can’t come to grips with reality, you gotta get out.

I can’t imagine if my wife and I didn’t have similar moral views.

Are you ready for her to shoot your kid full of hormone blockers because The View told her to?

Liberal is one thing.

My ex gf who I would have married is liberal. She's like a 1990s style Democrat. She's pro gun, ok with free speech. Just a believer in big government. A little too pro gay etc.
That's not too bad. It's not a huge issue.

I wasn't concerned at your post regarding abortion, as you mentioned, in her 20s etc.

But, the socialism etc?
GTFO
GTFO now!

Maybe have a conversation with her about her beliefs and challenge her to defend some of it. Her reactions would probably give you some clues about how it will all go and if you are going to be able to sway her new beliefs.

Once the mind virus has infected her, there's no going back.

Although, maybe her being removed from the environment will improve things. Boston is absolutely covered in leftwing propaganda. Every church is draped in pride and blm flags and propaganda. Almost every business has some sort of left wing political message posted somewhere. It's completely over the top. I'm not sure who they're trying to convince. They all seem to be on the same page.

8 years but we started dating as teenagers...

Anyways, I think the OT confirmed my fears. I know what I have to do. Thanks.

Yeah there is no reasoning with these types of women. It will either be fully join her in her political views or she will make your entire life miserable.

This baw needs to run now

Has she been made an official member of the illiberal statists mafia yet?

If so it might be your only way to actually survive in the next 50 years of our slow downfall.

The uniparty is actually in control. The “issue” noise is to just destabilize and cause fractiousness while the statists load gold bars into the back of Penske trucks.

Although she may make a pretty substantial socio-political turn at some point, it doesn't sound like you'd be okay with a pro-choice and/or socialist wife. Therefore DO NOT get engaged now. At 27 you have time if you want to wait and see for a bit. Maybe she comes back to Florida and steadily and for good reasons comes around to worldview compatible with yours. Just don't bet on it, and don't get engaged unless and until it happens and she stabilizes into someone long-term compatible with you, someone you'd trust long-term as the mother of your kids.

Personally I think I'd end it, but I'm not 27 and I'm not you. Good luck.

You are not just dating a liberal. You are dating an activist.

A political activist of any ideology is going to be annoying as frick.

I had a fling with a woman years ago, she was leftist. She could have been wife #2, if she weren't in love with whacked out politics.

She has a son who seems masculine and I think thats hard on her.
