She just threw him out

[Omaha Steve]

A very good friend couldn't stand listening to Joe Rogan or News Max anymore. After a long marriage, it is over.

1. Wise move. n/t

[Warpy]

2. I imagine it's a lot more complex than that

but the combination would push me over the edge, too.

3. Good for her. I hope he leaves her alone. Idiots are hard to get rid of in many cases. ...

I hope she's happy and thrives. ❤️

[erronis]

4. Too bad this tendency isn't disclosed in the pre-nuptial days - you know when lust rules....

"Honey. Do you like to sit on the couch all day swilling beer and listening to idiots on the T.V.?"

[mercuryblues]

6. I thought you were going to go

all JD Vance with your post when I read "couch"

[irisblue]

5. OS, did her x male partner know that she had hit her limit of limit of permanent unhappiness?

12. I apologize, I made an error and did not double check before I posted my reply.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Thanks. Stuff happens. Not a biggie. . . .nt

[Maru Kitteh]

16. WOW. That was worth the watch.

[Arazi]

8. Watch out, there's a contingent here who disapprove of shunning the GOP in our lives

And love to scold that we should just endure and how they can’t understand cutting off MAGAts.

Personally, I can hardly bear a single special event with these folks, let alone a sustained intimate relationship. The MAGAts in my life are cruel and bitter and if they’re into Joe Rogan and Newsmax, they’re thoroughly brainwashed 😞

[efhmc]

15. I do not need or want them in my life.

[barbtries]

9. maga rides again

another family torn apart.

i don't have contact with my brother. my lifetime best friend is now my ex-friend.

I think she's going to be happier without him.

[Demobrat]

10. "The divorce came out of nowhere".

The guy will be telling his friends everything was fine until his wife went crazy.

[BattleRow]

22. Reminds of an adage,

"She's not the girl I married"...totally clueless that HE' S the one that "killed " her by degrees.

[Buckeyeblue]

11. Marriages of political opposites have always perplexed me

We had many discussions about politics while we were dating. I couldn't be married to a conservative, mainly because I could never trust their judgement.

I guess if there was a change once you were married it would be different. It would certainly be complicated.

[58Sunliner]

14. I know that was a difficult decision. Good for her. It's like living with insanity and verbal abuse.

It's gaslighting and really bad for your health to listen to such distortion.

[Xolodno]

17. When my wife and I first got married...26 yeas ago...

...she started watching fox news. After watching it with her one night, I told her don't ever watch this channel again. She asked why and I explained how they using half truths, innuendo, etc.

Now she is so anti-maga I have tell her she needs to calm down, the orange anus is not worth getting worked up over. Because that's what he wants.

18. A friend divorced her husband because his MAGA beliefs had caused him to think of her as an enemy.

Sometimes the people so infected become vile and hateful. Apparently he did.
I don't think there should be hard and fast rules, but in the case of people who have become militantly toxic, breaking off the relationship is the only thing you can do to protect yourself.

But not all Trump supporters do become toxic and hateful. My two sons and their wives voted for Trump. Twice. They fell down the well of disinformation.Between them, we have ten grandchildren. We will never break off our relationship with our kids and grandkids, and fortunately our sons are loving men and good fathers, not toxic people. In our case we are able to agree to disagree and keep loving one another. But it's not possible for all relationships.

[AverageJoe]

20. I mean no disrespect

Serious question, and I promise I’m not being snarky. How do your sons manifest goodness and kindness while supporting the transparent fascist violence and destruction of democracy trump is visiting upon America? I honestly want to know.

[Arazi]

23. +1 For me there's also the anquish of the pain he's inflicted on my trans family and gay friends

And the erasure of women’s rights 😔

[summer_in_TX]

25. Yes. I feel the anguish too.

[summer_in_TX]

24. I recognize the sincerity of your question.

I don't know that they actually know or understand what Trump is visiting upon America. They live in information bubbles that I believe keep them blinded to the truth of what is happening.

As for goodness and kindness, both are helpful, generous, thoughtful, and converse without the anger, ugliness, and judgment of too many MAGA. Both are college grads, one has an MBA. Our younger son, for instance, spent vacation time for a few years making multiple trips to New Orleans as a volunteer to help with cleanup and repair after Katrina.

19. How many can not escape The Madness?

[SharonAnn]

21. The only thing better and easier; don't let him in. And if good man changes, throw him out.

Women deserve better. We’re tired of being disrespected.
The right wing broadcasters create a toxic environment we don’t want to live in.
