I wasn't really into politics much but my finance was, and he wanted me to change to his political party. I did research and agreed with the majority of his party so I switched. After marriage and living with him I see how much he and his family are into politics. Most of the times we agree on issues but occasionally I am more in the middle this really annoys him. Also when I'm not really excited about a certain candidate winning or doing well he get's truly upset and will bring it up in our discussions. I'm not a real opinionated person for the most part I'm kind of middle of the road but when I don't agee with him 100% about politics he gets upset and annoyed. It's become a little to much for me and I feel I can't truly be honest with him. Is he asking too much or should I just play the game and become a yes woman? I was raised to be honest and speak the truth so I don't know if I even can. Please help me.

What??? That's loonacy! Unless you are dating a senator it really shouldn't matter. You both should understand that it doesn't matter AT ALL what you think about politics - you won't make a difference if you keep arguing with EACH OTHER about it.
I'd say, no don't become a yes woman. Just accept it that you have different opinions on it and it is best not to discuss it.

Thats sad and sick at the same time. People don't get married to each other based upon you agree/disagree on political issues. You get married because you love one another and is a proven fact that couples will in fact have disageements.So honey,let me tell ya,you are in the right all the way.Stick to your guns.

He may hear your "speak the truth" more strongly than you feel you present it, and he may be hearing attacks on his cherished political beliefs/positions/values/opinions.

no i suggest you shouldn't marry someone so controlling he should love you for who you are. right now hes trying to change this if you marry him he will try to change other things about you, and control you your whole life do you really want that? if he loves you he shouldn't care what your believes are he should love you know matter what.
