“It’s All Politics”
I had been dating this guy I had met at work and I thought things were going okay, he’s a really good guy, until we’re out at dinner a few months before the election for President… Somehow politics get brought up and of course he doesn’t have the same views as me. We get into a heated discussion and I knew it was over when we didn’t see eye to eye on the same beliefs and dreams for our Country.

Aftermath: 2 years later I run into him again and he asks me if I still have the same political views. I say yes and he shakes his head and sighs. Needless to say, we will never be dating and I’m okay with that.
Plenty of people are able to stay together regardless of differences in opinion. It shouldn’t be such a big deal that it overshadows all the good things you see in someone.
