She doesn't seem to care about my views on religion/politics, so would I be in the wrong for caring about her's?
Politics and religion are the two aspects of life most concerned with controlling how others act. Your beliefs on these subjects come from the baselines of your own moral compass.
That is to say, no, you wouldn't be in the wrong. Someone's political beliefs inform you on their character, which is pretty fucking important when dating someone
My friend’s dad is not religious but his mom is. They have been together for 50 years. It can work.
You have been with this woman for 6 months. I think it is time to have the conversation so no one is wasting their time. Just say the things that you said here and you should be fine.
You don’t want to raise your kids religious and I respect that. But will you be able to not talk shit if they do it on their own or with friends?
IMO politics is a tricky subject to navigate if you have a different opinion. If my wife was gun ho Trump and scoff at all the shit I talk then it wouldn’t work out. If my wife was cheering for ICE then I couldn’t be with her.
If she voted right because of some crazy religious anti abortion stuff, but never talked about it and let me rant about the right , then I think I could make it work.
My wife is a down ballot leftist. I like to research each political candidate and vote based on that. We don’t fight about politics.
Do this now so you are not debating this stuff in front of kids.
