I could never have the opposite politics of my spouse. Sure, we may disagree slightly on some matters an nuance, but a world view in direct conflict with mine would be irreconcilable.
My partner is just slightly less left than me and I struggle with it some days. I can’t even imagine trying to date someone on the other side.
Sometimes I think about dating again after so long, and I imagine my girlfriend wanting to wiretap our place with an Alexa in the kitchen.
Seriously I don’t understand how some people can handle their best friend and roommate being a POS
- Fear of making near friends / difficulty making the new friends
- Actual naivety of thinking the POS behaviour doesn’t matter
- Weirdly, peer pressure from other people? For instance you might want to distance yourself from one friend and you are then peer pressured to be in situations with them more often by the other friends, told to build your tolerance of them
… 1 + 2 also applies to romantic relationships!
Edit: just realised ‘best friend AND roomate’ is just a way of referring to a spouse. But there it is, there’s the low-down in my opinion.
You bond over other shared interests, like video games and drinking.
As silly as bonding over race, especially when we disagree on basic morality, but that’s sadly what happens. 😔
If we’re talking about politics like loudness ordinances and funding for road projects and whether the fire department needs a millage we can share the same values or same values with different priority orders no problem on the different politics.
If we’re talking about whether some people deserve rights or racism or if laws don’t apply to some people then it’s more than a politics difference, it’s a values difference.
I’m so glad my parents and brother have (nearly) the same politics as me. Having to regularly deal with trumpers (without being able to laugh in their faces as with my co-workers) would be a perpetual torment. My brother did have an inexplicable phase of loving Putin, but that passed quickly.
Same. I couldn’t respect someone with hardened, opposite politics to me. Sex would be satisfying though.
…would it??
You never had a good hate-fuck?
It doesn’t seem appealing tbh
For which party and why? I would contend many people enjoy sex most when their partner is someone they respect, provided they’ve developed to a certain level of maturity. Perhaps you have an alternate rationale.
Even within dom/sub and other BDSM variations I would hope both partners respect each other because without that you’ve entered a very toxic and destructive space.
It’s almost always that the girl is also a POS but knows she wouldn’t have friends if she lived her truth.
Almost, but sometimes also they are just in an abusive relationship and haven’t figured it out yet.
It’s hard for me to imagine someone being that clueless but I am surprised every single day.
That’s my sister and husband.
your sister is your husband?
they’re very close
Saaaame. Dude would 100% support loading me into a train to the camps in the right circumstances.
The lady probably feels the same way, she just knows better than to be honest about it because she’s better socialised.
a third of hetero males in hetero relationships are the most racist man alive?
All those men also look exactly like that
That’s a band name
theres a band named “a third of hetero males in hetero relationships are the most racist man alive?”?
hyperbole
Recent US election results don’t contradict the assertion.
If we’re going off election results it would be nearly two thirds of white men and more than half of white women so YMMV depending on which part of the country you’re in.
“But I never heard him say racist things to me and my family”
Is that AI slop? One of the ugliest comics I’ve seen. A true “shit post”.
It’s not AI slop. The artist’s work and style is well-established.
Ugly ass crap.
Please do show us your comic strip work so that we might compare and contrast your styles?
No. I’m entitled to an opinion whether or not less cultured swine like it or not.
Is salon conservative? Liberal? Something else? Im not really getting the joke here.
I think the point is that she’s just a normal women, sharing uncontroversial articles. And there is this other half of the couple you just wonder about how someone could possibly see something in let alone put up with him.
I’m personally reminded of the parents of a childhood acquaintance, with a nice mom and a father that couldn’t even be asked to close the bathroom door when guest were there.
I read it more as that you can not talk to her about anything but beauty products, so she doesn’t have the capacity to comprehend how much of an asshole her other half is
