Support group for partner with different morals and values

Hi moms, looking to see if there are any support groups or anyone to connect with struggling with having a partner or spouse with differing morals/values and politics. I’ve been struggling because of the election, and really don’t have anywhere else to go at this point with a child. Just feel stuck

Did you have these conversations in the beginning?

What’s more important politics or your relationship ? My partner and I don’t fully align with our ideas about politics and yes it can be annoying but our relationship is the priority not the president or policies.

@Indi yes we have always been opposite but over the years just reflecting on what really bothers me about politics is our opposition to the morals/values aspect of it such as human rights

@Melanie I’m trying my best to prioritize the relationship but it’s really hard when it’s not just politics but the morals and values aspect of it

I think if you have a connection and a strong bond politics and views shouldn’t always get in the way, what do you have in common?

I can understand where you're coming from. There's a lot of hate and moral issues in play. These things matter when raising a child. Unfortunately I don't have much insight but all I can say is do what you feel is best for you and yours.

I think when you disagree with anything, you can either choose to find the compromise. Or to leave or it. Personally I think compromising is how we grow. But if you think you'll be struggling with that? Consult a therapist. Or for less effort, check out the Dr John Deloney show on YouTube! He talks a LOT about getting along with people who disagree with you. And various marital struggles. So much good information there, if you want to grow mental health wise.

Men will never fully understand us especially if it’s human rights they want to have a say because they think “oh nothing is going to happen to my partner” and then something happens then it’s “save her, that’s your job!” Then they want to be mad at the world but it was what they pushed for.
