A man stands by his principles and beliefs. You don’t give those up to a woman just to please her. She can accept you for who you are


Btw if you cave she will never respect you and will run all over you

The fact that any of you pick Trump before or right now even still is shocking...almost down right embarrassing. She probably should dump you low key for you still picking Trump when he's done nothing but make America look like an a$$ hat or the world.

My girlfriend of 9 years never vote for the same guy. Except in 2012 Presidential election.

I definitely couldn't date/marry a pussy hat wearing, hardcore progressive. We wouldn't like each other anyway so it wouldn't be an issue.

The wife and I aren't exactly the same on politics but we are pretty close and have similar values. That certainly makes things easier imo. Neither of us are really in to politics that much anyway. We don't even really watch the news.

I don't blame her. Most of Cult45 members make rocks seem intelligent. Also, you do realize she's worried she won't be able to have you around her friends or family, right? The entire group will look down on you, justifiably so.

This is a rather ironic statement considering Trump himself has no principles or beliefs. He's a narcissistic, power hungry psychopath who cares about nothing but money and no one but himself. He hates his own fricking family outside of the one daughter he wants to frick.

I'm happily married but if I wasn't I'd be embarrassed to bring some hardcore progressive chick to meet my family.

And I'm no big Trump fan although I did reluctantly vote for him.

If she hates Trump that much, and you like him that much, you two are probably not compatible anyway. Always fear ultimatums.

I agree with most of this and that’s why I’m pissed at the Democrats for putting such a weak candidate against him. I’m going to have to vote for that idiot again.

I'd stay home before I voted for a Democrat for president. Even a moderate will kowtow to the progressive wing of that party now once in office.

This isn’t about Trump. This is about the ultimatum. If she’ll do it over something as petty as politics, she’ll do it again over increasingly petty and insignificant things. She does this because she doesn’t respect OP or their relationship. You never gamble what you’re not willing to live without. She’s willing to risk the relationship because she is ready to live without it. Caving to this kind of emotional blackmail is how you end up in the kind of relationship where you have to go shopping with her at Hobby Lobby during your team’s playoff game, be told you can’t hang out with one of your friends, and generally never be allowed to make a decision again. This is a power move by the woman, and once she has power, she won’t respect her SO. She will use him, abuse him, and probably cheat on him.

Anyone who after 3 years of a relationship is willing to issue an ultimatum over something as petty as politics is not someone who is committed to the success of that relationship.

my wife can't stand Trump one bit.

but she also knows that Hillary was a corrupt, evil woman and Biden was a moron before dementia. she ain't happy i'm voting for Trump, but she also knows there's not a better choice. and she sure as hell knows better than an ultimatum.

You could have come in here making solid points, and instead acted like a jackass with the first words you typed
As others have stated, any woman issuing such ultimatums is to be avoided. Drop her and move on with life immediately.

Holy fricking shite. You sound like the psychos who thought America would implode in a week the moment Obama got elected. Do you have a personal relationship with Trump or something to make such statements with such certainty?

Not like any of this matters to the point of the thread anyway. Women issuing ultimatums of this type are trouble no matter how you slice it.

Then you need to make it clear to her that issuing an edict like that is over the line. Let her know she didn't give you a choice between her or Trump, she gave you a choice between making your own decisions or letting her make them for you.

If she's adamant about it then drop her with the swiftness. She needs to grow up quite a bit and you don't need to be subjected to such manipulations. If politics matters that much to her then perhaps you two aren't the match you both want to believe you are.



Just text her this hostage video of Prince Harry and tell her you refuse to have your balls in a jar like his to Meghan Markle.

This is it right here. You have to man up and stand your ground.

And this turns into im leaving you because you aren't assertive enough.

mmmmbeer is one of our most serious cases of TDS on this forum. You mention Trump in any way and he loses all ability to make a rational argument and just spews the same emotionally unstable verbal diarrhea all over the thread.
