Better to drink Kool-Aid than alcohol.
And in my case I turned my husband into my choice of political party. Either that or lonely nights at the sofa.
I will have no debates in my home.

So obviously when it comes to politics we don't exactly see eye to eye. I do agree with her on some things, and she with me on others.
But this years election has really tarnished the fresh and lively conversation we have always enjoyed in the past.
This isn't a deal breaker... Come February of '05 I am sure we will be over it no matter the outcome. It's just tough for right now. I am considering proposing a no-politics zone at home until the election is over.
So... anyone else have a mixed marriage in turmoil over this election?

Maybe you should listen to your wife and stop supporting your "tough guy."

Wow. I wish I had this problem. Unfortunately, my partner and I agree on something quite fundamental to our happiness:
Politics doesn't have to ruin our marriage. It was easier to pre-emptively outlaw it.
So my thought is this... be thankful that you have a spouse who loves you even though you have a difference of opinion. Some of us don't get the chance to wonder how politics would affect our marriage because we aren't allowed to marry.
Don't sweat the small stuff. Be happy and appreciative of the blessing that having a great spouse truly is!
Someone still gets screwed !
