Re: It’s not me, it’s you.

Politics. She was sorta-Libertarian-ish, but in a way that was nearly indistinguishable from a Republican. (This was way before Trump, BTW.) When it came to LBGTQ she was a "hate the sin, love the sinner" kind of person and thought that was okay. IMO, it's not. She didn't even have the excuse of being particularly religious, she just thought that being gay was wrong but it was magnanimous of her to overlook how icky people were. On top of all that, her husband was even worse (not just on a political level, but on a personal level) re: racism and just being a sexist douchebag and her excuses for his behavior wore me down.

I guess I never officially severed the connection, though I did tell her I'd never agree to be in the same room with her husband ever again. We drifted apart, because how can you get past that? She was determined to stay married, and be conservative on social issues, and I was not interested in that, or hearing about how her husband "wasn't that bad really" when he absolutely was. We just drifted apart and now we're Facebook acquaintances.

People with partners with more regressive views are always a major turn off to me. Even if they're nice people it sort of implies they're either okay with that, or have low self esteem and are settling.

In my friend's case, it was both. She deserved better than that guy, but she also had some really problematic views of her own, especially when it came to LBGQT issues.

Oh yeah, enablers are the worst. Like you expect the douchebaggery from certain people, but it can only go so far if others aren't normalizing it. I hope they didn't have any kids, she sounds like the kind of parent who would always take her spouse's side.

Having parents with opposite politics was a minefield to grow up with as a kid. One would scream racial slurs, the other would preach tolerance. I don't think couples should be identical clones politics-wise but I wish figuring out which values you will *both* teach was considered a factor when raising future kids.
