When talking politics with your SO/Spouse/etc, [View All]

[Ariana Celeste]

do they ever look at you like you're going a bit out there? Do they ever try to be "the rational one"?

How do you handle it?

I tend to get a little upset- I don't cry or lash out, just look at him and say "Why you always gotta bring me down, man?" He has been into politics longer than I have, but I put a lot of time into reading DU... and of course other sites, but this is my main source of info. And I usually end up being right when we discuss this Administration- thanks to everyone here.

I have trouble handling it, though. Lol. He says, "I'm not going to be your yes-man." I tell him, "That's not what I want, but you don't have to bring me down, dude. Discuss, not criticize."

So how do you handle it? Maybe I can learn something. :D
