It is a source of pain to me, but I have to rationalize it by seeing her as apolitical, which she is.
She is no Leftist or even a Liberal, which I know from in depth discussion in which she participates and reveals her underlying stances, but her non-interest in what is going on nationally is a disappointment to me.
She is not alone in this, but I suspect she feels it is “all politics” and won’t affect her or us as individuals, and I am past the point of trying to explain to her that her fastidiousness at finding the cheapest prices for gasoline, groceries, or even investing our money, is all like spitting into a hurricane if your government works to make all the effort completely worthless by raising your taxes and devaluing your income.
Sigh. But she is my wife, and I have to accept this.
It’s cheaper to keep her. My current husband just ended 19.5 years of indentured servitude to his leftist ex. “Child” support goes automatically to age 21 here yet “children” can vote starting at age 18.
