    Unless your a true progressive, leftist, socialist, ACAB, ANTIFA outside the 2 regressive parties your views are mostly the same as they preserve cancerous capitalism .

    This sounds like something I would tell my friends as a “joke” when we where all very tired.

    My wife is subjective and I am objective. This has caused her to get quite upset in conversations.

        Subjectivity has conviction in the face of adversity. Objectivity will change based on new information.

        Both have their value but there is great conflict between them.

    People that disagree about fundamental things in life tend to not be good matches romantically…news at 11.

    Tune in Saturday to watch our round table where several overly serious and over paid people discuss why the relationship between the Jewish woman and her literal Nazi husband fell apart.

    Yeah, if my wife didn’t think other people deserved the right to exist it would put quite the strain on our relationship.

      especially if it turns out you are one of the people who doesn’t deserve the right to exist, just that she magically makes an exception for you specifically because you’re one of the good ones

    My wife has a friend who is a quirky anime loving girl with no desire for kids, not religious, and makes good money in healthcare.

    Her friend is married to a hardcore Trump cultist that really wants kids, is very religious, and despite not having a good paying job, wants his wife to stay home and tend to the future kids.

    My wife and I just honestly don’t understand how they are married.

    Considering we are reaching a point where the political differences May very well might be whether your spouse deserves to exist and not be chattel breeding slaves, yeah easy to guess why it’s a deal breaker.

    Several comments on here read like prime examples of “anyone who opposes me is a fascist”. Of course in conservative forums it’s similarly “anyone who opposes me is a lunatic Marxist”. Try having a relationship across aisles in this climate!

    The study took 30 years to conclude but I wonder whether the current political climate makes it even more unlikely that people across political divides can form really any kind of relationship. I know I have found it difficult to maintain a relationship with anyone staunchly conservative even if political leaning has never been a main criterion for me in mate selection or in friendships.

      The current political climate is different than before. It not falls along the lines of empathy. I don’t see how marriages survive that in a healthy way.

      That isn’t to say they’ll all divorce. Divorce rates are very tightly coupled to economic well-being and children. But I do think a lot more people are staying in horrible marriages if their partner has no empathy.

    A lot of people saying how does this happen, it happens over time with small shifts. It happens because our stability as communities and nations is changing faster and more frequently.

    Question is when do you take off the wedding ring? (or mental equivalent) because your promise to this person is most likely the strongest conviction most people hold. For better or for worse, implies we understand a partnership has ups and downs that we ride through. A fundamental change is attitude could be seen as an up or a down.

      Your assessment makes sense, but some of the mismatched relationships mentioned here sound like they started out unbalanced, and that must be the case. Some couples are clearly doomed much earlier on.

    I don’t get along well with people who aren’t at least within “discussing distance” politically. I wonder how people even date when they don’t agree on some fundamentals.

    Couples with opposing views on many things face higher risk of separation, is this a surprise to anyone?
