We are Newlyweds. We have been married for almost a year, and before that, together for 5.
He is the BEST thing to ever happen to me. I didnt know true love existed like this until I met him. The life we have built together is amazing in every other aspect but our political views.
We just had our worst fight over politics and about how / why we feel the way we do about certain subjects, and we just cannot meet in the middle about these subjects.
I understand the problem is on my end. I can connect a statement he makes to a political one.
I am also very active at the ballot box, and do my best to keep up with whats happening in the government. He does not. And even though I dont agree with him, I still try to get him to come vote with me because I understand the importance of it.
I dont know where im going with all this. Just, how do you reconcile these differences?
I've tried the "keep the peace and agree to disagree" that only works.. until it doesn't. These aren't views that we can meet in the middle on. At least not in any way that I can think of.
Im afraid that these arguments are just how things are going to go for the rest of our lives and I want to do what I can to make that not the case. How do I navigate this?
If you need any clarification, I'll do my best to help.
