Yep. I dealt with this for a few months once. Her making a big deal out of things that would otherwise never cross my mind, getting angry about things that had nothing to do with me or her. She finally gave me one of those…well, if you don’t care about this kind of stuff, maybe we shouldn’t be together. You’re ABSOLUTELY right. I don’t give a frick about any of this fricking shite. I’m too young for high blood pressure.

Think about how you would feel if she got pregnant. Shell consider abortion to be a valid option.

How would you navigate that?

Purely anecdotal, of course, but I have found this to be true, as well.

No bullshite OP you need to ask who she is deep down. The reason I say that is UF is a very liberal school especially compared to some other UF schools and now she is in Boston, a very liberal area.

Where would you live if married? Most people will pull from who they are around. As in, if you live somewhere with a conservative base she will probably swing more conservatively.

Otherwise, if you fundamentally differ on your core values then you absolutely should not be with her. I'm not sure how you can have a partner for life that has core differences.

If you have a healthy amount of respect for each other I think it could work out fine. Don't look for a clone of yourself to date

My wife and I have drastically different political views and we've been married for 5 years. We just dont talk about politics... If you're whole relationship is based on someones politcal views, youre a sociopath

Let me ask you this... even if your political views are drastically different, are you more or less on the same page with respect to your moral views?

Sure, politics isn't everything. But my wife is probably more right then I am. I'm not sure how you can be drastically different politically on items like birth control, economics, taxes, etc.

Those items are important for adult life. I don't sit and talk about them daily with my wife but we are on the same page, if something stupid like a commercial or ad pops up one of us can comment. I can't imagine being in such disagreement you couldn't even comment on things like tv ads.

Raising children would be a big hang up for me.

My wife and I aren't the same politically but we agree enough on the things that are important to us.

I worked with a guy who was educated, good looking, a Jack of all trades, full of integrity, and a masculine leader…like an All American good ole boy.

He married someone from college. She either was or became liberal. Funny thing is is that they went to church every week, and I am not talking about the Catholic one hour and done church, but the church where you hang out and read the Bible in small group settings all day. I am surprised that a lib did that

He divorced. For years he tried to make it work but it failed. One of the last straws was when she went to DC for the pink pussyhat march and protest. She was all about #Metoo and being an activist. Meanwhile she forbid him from hanging out with the guys and going to football games.

Not saying your relationship won’t work, but marriage eventually involves conflict and disagreements. When you are married to someone who is intolerable and refuses to understand the other side, you will have big problems.

It’s just that so much that’s deeply woven into our lives is political. I wish it wasn’t but it is.

I think social media and the news cycle play a big part. (See bro on the rant who fears hamas has eyes on tiger stadium tomorrow )

It was easier to keep distance from that stuff in the 90s when it was really just the paper, network news and talk radio

Eh, you know the answer. You would have married her by now if you actually wanted to.

A woman I used to be in love with told me if she got pregnant, she would take care of it. I couldn't look at her the same anymore.

She would be willing to kill our child without a second thought.

If that makes me the sociopath over her, then so be it.
