I have to vent...DH really pissing me off today.
So I got up early to vote before I went to work. DH was still at home and plans on voting later. I get a text from him saying "I swear to god woman, you better not vote for.....". For the first time in our relationship, we disagree on who should be president. Last night he told me that my decision on who to vote for was ignorant and uneducated, because if I REALLY did my research into both of them, I wouldnt be voting for who I was planning on voting for. I cant believe that! I am SO MAD right now I cant get anything done at work.

I have always had a different political opinion then those I live with (family, roomates and now H), a good way to deal with it is to keep your votes private...we will express our views but I have never said "I am going to vote for this person" its always more Well, this is what I like (or dislike) about any given party, and drop it if it gets to heated. I am more concerned that people do vote and are invested in the process of democracy, then who they vote for.
I would have been pissed if my H ever said anything like that, but I wouldn't give it much weight, If he can't be civil about it just say your vote its yours and you don't have to say who you voted for (or are going to vote for)...isn't that the reason they make everyone vote seperately and by ballots, so that people are not pressured into voting a certain way.

Remind your DH that women fought for decades to earn the right to vote and you could vote for a damn llama for president if you wanted to because IT'S YOUR RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN!
Also remind your sugar bee that this is the land of FREE and the fact that two of you can even differ on opinions without the government coming in and putting a bullet to your brain is a gift granted to you by the sheer dumb luck of you being born an American. He should respect your opinion and your right to have one because its not granted to all.
I wonder how many people tell their spouse how to vote? I heard someone at the olive garden yesterday having an argument at the next table..the husband was telling his wife who she had to vote for. The woman was quiet the whole time. He was being so loud and demanding. MADE ME SICK!!! It didnt help that he also had the nerve to call someone else (sounded like his mom) and told her and what props she would be voting for.
Probably shouldn't have been ease dropping but It was ridiculous! Plus I am sure the whole side of the restaurant heard it.
I would have been so pissed if my hubby said what your DH said, does he do this on other things or do you just always agree with him on issues?
H and I tend to have different political beliefs because his priority is economical and my priority is equality and social freedom. He couldn't bring himself to vote for Obama because of his economic stances, and I couldn't bring myself to vote for Romney because of his stances on everything else.
Then again, my H doesn't tell me I'm ignorant for my political opinions, so it isn't a big deal for us.
Well... I don't think that 1/2 the country is ignorant because they didn't vote for the same guy I did. I think morals and economic policies are very different.
I never said half the country is ignorant. I said I PERSONALLY could not MARRY someone who disagreed with my opinions about things like gay marriage, abortion, equal rights, job security, what wars we should be involved in....etc, etc. I have many friends that have different political opinions than me, and we have some fun and lively debates, and I respect their views. My point was that in a partner, someone I choose to live with and see everyday, and possibly raise a family with, I would like to have those opinions align with mine. Because I know how passionate I am (again I'm speaking PERSONALLY) about this things and I think if my DH was equally passionate for the opposite stance, well, there would just be a lot of fighting.
