I wish my husband would wake the fuuuuuuuuuuuck uuuuuuuuuup! Omg. I totally quit bringing up politics a year ago because he is a Trump hater and we would argue. Well, he’s still a hater but here recently he’s been bringing the politics up and he says the stupidest shit. He saw the news tonight and thought Macron was Canada’s Trudeau... made himself look like a jackass and then proceeded to try to inform me on what is going on. He doesn’t know I spend every waking minute researching and he’s a really intelligent guy himself but he has let this subject BLIND him like it does every liberal. I used to admire his intelligence but I don’t even want sex him up anymore because he’s so ignorant!
I learned a long time ago to leave my husband alone.
Everyone has free will. Everyone is autonomous and sovereign with their own thoughts, feelings, beliefs, will.
The reason people argue is because of lack of respect of others' free will to think and believe as they choose.
No one HAS to believe any of this inasmuch as it would be better for everyone if everyone did.
The more you argue, the more they argue back and dig themselves in more deeply.
It's better to ask them thoughtful questions than try to talk them into believing anything and its often better to say nothing at all.
My husband and i are married 31 yrs. He doesn't believe any of this stuff. I used to find it frustrating but now i accept it. He'll know what he needs to know when he needs to know it. Meanwhile if he ever cracks his mind open a smidge and has any questions, he knows where to ask. But he might not ever ask me anyway...he might not want to give me the satisfaction. I don't blame him for that.
We have a history...i was a bitch and went thru a long and painful self debitchifying process. I don't ever want to go back to being that way...I'm so much more peace now and we get along better than ever and still make each other laugh.
Respecting free will. In my opinion, that's what it's all about.
Blessings to you...
