So true my recent ex kept his politics very hidden at the beginning and then overtime his conservatism started to show and I got upset bc I felt like he had been lying abt who he was and then he admitted he basically was molding himself to fit what I wanted until he couldn’t do it anymore
Well, I’m a conservative man, and my gf is a conservative woman. Neither one of us try to control each other. Even as conservatives we disagree on many things. Relationships are build on trust, loyalty and hard work. If politics are the main form of a relationship, then the issues are deep rooted.
I’m reluctant to even engage with this, but your reply is unproductive for a multitude of reasons. The man thing is the most obvious point, but since your girlfriend is already conservative this post has no application to your situation. We’re not talking about men coexisting with women, we’re talking about men who see liberal women as a project to shape to their liking, rather than pursuing someone who shares core values.
