Me and my soulmate (I call him that because he's my everything, and I'm his everything). He and I are so much alike, it's not even funny.
But after a conversation on America (where I'm from) this morning, and the "mentality" Americans have, we both found that we don't agree, on a politcal standpoint.
What do I do?
1. Do I agree with him and never bring it up again?
2. Do I keep my political view, and never bring it up again?
3. Do I keep my political view, and bring it up again?
4. (Your answer here)
Mind you, my viewpoint is more laxed: I know that America isn't perfect but it certainly isn't THE WORST country to live in.
His view is that America lies to its people, and you can never make it here if you're Black (plus a lot more similiar political views...)
You ever see the perfect couples that break up because the guy is a democrat, and the girl is a republican? I'm afraid that might be us!
But help me please... thanks in advance :)

It is time to find a new soul mate. The truth is that extreme differences in Politics, Religion and Money destroy more marriages than all the other causes combined.

Look at Mary Matalin and James Carville. They have been married for years and have 2 children despite the fact that she is a speech writer for the Repubs and he was an advisor for Clinton. Talk about stuff other than politics. By the way, he is wrong about blacks in America. Look at Colin Powell, Condi Rice, P Diddy, Bill Cosby and many, many others.

It is possible to agree to disagree. My husband is much more negative in his political views and we are fine. What's much more important is that you are on the same page regarding your lifestyle and moral views. You have to have similar codes of conduct. For example my honey and I both agree that we will raise our children not to lie, cheat, steal. We want them to be kind, respectful, trustworthy children. Sometimes you have to drill down to the issues that are a little closer to home. You can argue all day long about the actions of the government... We can't physically control what they do or do not do. But we can control our own households. What kind of husbands, wives, daughters, sons, and parents we are... So take some time and ask him about what it means to be a father and a husband. What makes a home a home. Where he sees himself in 5 years, or when he's retired. Those are much more important than the state of the union. A house divided can not stand.... So talk about "life" and not so much about the government.

My husband and I have differing political views and we are both black and he is not an American either. I choose to agree to disagree because I am not changing my views for him, nor should he change his views for me. It doesn't mean the relationship cannot make it. It means both parties need to be mature enough to accept differing points of view. We agree on the most important things, such as how to raise our daughter. Politics can take a back seat. It can be issue, if one of you is a politician. Other than that, it should not matter.

My guy is a Democrat and I am a Republican. A lot of times we just have to agree to disagree. We know we have different viewpoints, but neither one of us is going to change our minds or sacrifice our morals or values for the other. That is something we just have to live with. I think it makes our bond stronger.

Conservative and Republican at the instant are not the comparable element. There are conservative Democrats, Independents, Libertarians etc. you do not ought to tell your mothers and dads something approximately your political ideals or what occasion you help. i'm somewhat extra liberal on social matters than my mothers and dads have been, yet they have been enormously opened minded for their time.. They have been born in 1915 and 1917. They have been able to conform with interracial and gay marriages while i did not ought to alter into 'tolerant' to assist those matters. I supported them whilst i became in college in the 1960's.

It all depends on whether or not you and he can keep things in perspective ie - even if you disagree with him, he must see that you are not the enemy. "If you mess with Delay / Dean, you mess with me!" is not the way to treat a soul mate. If the person cannot keep that in perspective, it might be a harbinger of other problems that just haven't surfaced yet.

My twin soul is liberal and I am conservative. He is my best friend and we can actually have civilized political conversations. We both realize that we wont change the other and we even laugh alot at each other and our own views sometimes.

One thing you never talk about with friends, soul-mates, and family is money and politics... politics is all about opinion.. and not everyone agrees. That is the greatest thing about living in the US... you have a right to believe in whatever you want.
