I've watched my loving wife of 3 years slowly descend into having mental breakdowns and crying fits over the though of President Trump.
I don't align with either major party, nor have I voted for either in the last 3 presidential elections. My wife and I don't agree on everything politically, but I've always been up front about my thoughts. I've always respected her views and would never tell her that she is wrong or how to feel. I am not a political person and I believe that anybody should be allowed to believe what they want, as long as it isn't infringing upon another's rights.
Every time there is a political commercial or an ad online, she will start to yell about how "this election is bullshit" and "how can anybody vote for Trump? It is like casting a vote for Hitler" and "I don't care if she is a criminal or not, at least she won't set the country back 100 years!" All of this unprompted by me. She believes LGBT will immediately have their rights stripped.
Last night, we were watching TV and a political ad came on. She started crying. The show came back on and I paused it. I talked to her for a few minutes and eventually told her that I wanted to continue watching TV. She wouldn't stop crying, so I turned it off and went upstairs. I wasn't going to enjoy the show now. I went downstairs an hour later and she was still on the sofa crying. She was now angry at me. "Why are you so upset?" "I can't be with someone who isn't voting for Hilary. Why do you support HIM?" "I... uhm... I don't support him. Just because I won't vote for Clinton doesn't mean I am supporting Trump." She started screaming at me and told me that she had better not find out that I voted for Trump. "I can't be with someone who supports pushing the country back 100 years like you are!"
I wasn't even going to vote for either. I was going to vote for local representatives and 3rd party for president as in the past. But after that bullshit last night, fuck her... I'm voting for Trump.
