My wife and I could sign up for a lot of government goodies if we just divorced and shacked up together. But after 33 years, we’ve sort of grown fond of each other.
My hubby and I have been married 31 years. I am Jewish and
he was raised Catholic. On one of our very first dates, he
asked if I would answer him honestly about a very serious
philosophical question. I was nervous but I agreed to be
completely honest.
He asked me about my political leanings. “Oy”, I said to myself. We live in Massachusetts, so here comes the end of
what seemed to be a nice relationship. I swallowed and replied, “Republican - strongly republican”. (Keep in mind
this was during the Reagan years and republican wasn’t the uniparty it is today).
His reply, “Excellent!! Great news! So am I and we both know
mixed relationships don’t work!” So 31 years, two wonderful children and two grandbabies later here we are.
We both miss the Reagan GOP though.
