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.

    A lot of religious folks "don't believe in divorce." So even if the relationship isn't abusive, they may be incompatible as a couple but just stick with it.

    Yeah, I once talked with a woman who spent several decades being married to a guy who was physically and emotionally abusive to her, but made it clear that she would never leave him because she had promised to stay with him for live at her wedding, but it was okay because things would be better in heaven for her anyway, but not so good for him.

    It made me really sad...

    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.

    My wife finally gave when the latest round of spying stuff happened. I've been trying to get around to building new ones for home assistant that all happen on prem, but there's a lot of knowledge gap there.

    When politics felt like shades of policy disagreements I could see it. Now it is either you support democracy and human rights or you're supporting pedophiles and genocide. Not much common ground anymore.

    The Overton window has been busy.

    Most people vote for the pedophiles, though. Either through the ballot or with their wallet. They're in politics on all sides. They're in business. They're on the computer they use every day. The car they drive.

    And human rights. Goes out the window the moment somebody has a bad case of the sniffles. Or when brown people can be blamed for pretty much anything and everything.

    It's almost as if, the main problem isn't the corrupt deranged elite, but the system and boot lickers that uphold them.

    Seriously I don't understand how some people can handle their best friend and roommate being a POS

    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.

    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.

    I think he means his sister reads salon and his husband is racist and also his husband and his sister are in a relationship too, it's a classic polycule isotope.

    He was poking fun at the framing. It should have been "my sister and her husband"

    "My sister and husband" has the same grammatical framing as "my friend and classmate". It denotes the same person.

  • The lady probably feels the same way, she just knows better than to be honest about it because she's better socialised.

    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.
