We agree for most things, which turns out is super important to me! I think it’s more of a moral thing & I like to align with my partner personally.
Politics arnt massively different in the uk. It’s more that we share the same beliefs and I think we both probably sit somewhere in the middle.
At this point politics are human rights issues so yes
No! I am happily married and my husband and I aren’t the same as far as politics goes. Despite that…we have very similar values and can respect each other’s beliefs and differences. We have known each other for 8 years and I can only remember one time that we argued enough to agree to disagree on something. We have polite conversations and can share our opinions freely. I hear many people say it’s a dealbreaker. But, I think unless one of you is really far right and the other is really far left…you may have more in common than you think.
I don’t think so, we have voted differently in general elections before.
I'd say somewhere in between. We don't perfectly align, but I feel like that lets us have better discussions. I wouldn't be with someone who didn't align with me at all though. I'd say we are at least 75% aligned.
Been together nearly 10 years now and differing politics has never caused an argument. We simply don’t discuss what we do in the polling station. It’s never affected our common goals, the raising of our children, our marriage or our ethics. Of course we might roll our eyes at the other from time to time or say we think that’s not our opinion on the issue but that’s it. Friends and family of all beliefs too.
On some things, we have to be on the same page. For me, they are human rights based. I couldn't be with someone who wasn't a feminist or pro choice. They can't be xenophobic or racist. As a few examples...
I don't think anyone will ever 100% perfectly align, but I think in general and on big issues, it's important to have similar beliefs.
I don’t think politically we have ever disagreed a single time
If my husband was a Trump supporter we couldn’t last
We disagree on minor things, but at a certain point politics becomes deeply connected to a persons values and when those are different it gets tricky.
For Me, maybe not agree on everything but at least have similar ideals, I consider myself center-left and once I dated a guy who supported Trump, and... Well, I married a leftist 😂
@Minnie exactly!

In an ideal world 😅 but no, its not vital. We support different parties but seem to have similar views on the main issues. It has not caused us any issues in the last 16 years at least!
We have never talked about politics. I think its a topic that we neither one really cares about.
I mean the same beliefs and morals are important yes but me and my husband don’t sit around discussing politics lol
Depends on the topic. There are things we disagree on. But the big ones that are deal breakers for me we agree on.
