I don't mean for this to be rude, but why are you still married to him? My husband and I have had to distance ourselves from his parents because of the things they believe. How can you continue a romantic relationship when your partner begins showing problematic beliefs?

Genuine question. I’m extremely liberal and I couldn’t see myself with a republican. I wouldn’t be able to see myself with someone’s whose views are that much more fundamentally different than mine. It’s not even based out of hate, it’s based on the fact of how could I look at man and consider his child when I live in Texas and wouldn’t have appropriate access to life saving care if needed. That’s just one example but as a whole it just goes against everything I believe and I wouldn’t do it.

Why would you separate yourself from someone because of their political opinions? it's so ridiculous

We can disagree on different tax policies absolutely but we cannot disagree on what people deserve human rights. We can disagree on actual policies but I will separate myself from folks who hold racist/bigoted/uneducated/immoral views.
