Yeah I mean how could you date, much less marry someone whose values are so out of whack with yours??

Glad I never had that problem. It's like, just date cool people??

Some people are good at hiding their crazy. Luckily, MAGA types are generally pretty loud about their bigotry and never shut the hell up, so it's easier to weed them out.

Because they lie.

A lot of straight conservative men know that many women do not want to date conservative men. They will not present themselves as conservative men, and instead will list themselves perhaps as “moderates” or “centrists” or otherwise “hide their power level.” This is true for conservative gay men as well, to a lesser extent.

People can be very good at hiding who they really are until the night after you get married. It’s terrifying.

Ok I may be stupid but how this still work now that we have legalized no fault divorce

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No fault divorce doesn’t mean “instant and easy.” It just means you don’t have to give a reason. My divorce took about a year - although I guess that’s because after he kicked me out he refused to file and took my money lol.

What I don’t understand is why you would marry someone you hate. He had ‘No Children’ played at our wedding, despite me asking him not to.

Keep in mind, the fascists are trying to get rid of that, too.

Very good point =/ god I'm glad I never dated men
