Poll question: A marriage in crises - can this marriage be saved?

DesertedRose shared this comment on this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7517901&mesg_id=7517901

My republican husband actually had the nerve to say the same thing (that Powell's endorsement was racially motivated)
He didn't sleep on the couch...*I* did

It IS all about race to republicans....it truly is



Bicostal then responded with a question that has GDP in crises for the last few hours


Can this marriage be saved?

Happily married Democrats with a highly liberal 17 year old son.

12. Just curious - is it okay with DesertedRose that you posted this?
Does she mind that her marriage is being posted as a poll?

Just for the record, my husband is a repug, as are a couple of other DUers.
Please don't start any threads about my marriage.

13. It's ok, I gave him the green light
Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 05:22 PM by DesertedRose
I'm laughing at it, honestly :-) If I didn't laugh I'd be crying, and I sort of asked for it by saying something in the first place....

Thank you for having my back :thumbsup: you're the best :hug:

Things will be better after the election...no matter who wins O8)

2004 was MUCH worse than this year. I survived attending Texas A&M while Democrat (!). If I can survive that, I can survive anything :rofl:

PS: I have "admirers?!" :blush:

I love DU :hi:

17. Guess what GC
Two ladies canvassing for Obama just came to my door....DH answered :rofl: and said "um, let me get my wife..."

I had a very nice conversation with them and explained my 'situation'

One of them said she understood because the love of her life used to work for a republican senator and they'd watch both conventions together...she said it was lots of fun :rofl:


So SEE it happens more than you guys realize!

19. You're really a good sport!
I know you are not the only person in a "mixed" relationship! Good thing you've kept your sense of humor.

16. I asked her if she thought it would be funny and she agreed
Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 05:32 PM by grantcart
BTW most of my family is Republican and my brother (a Republican) is on the ballot in a non partisan position.



I think it will be much easier for our Republican family members to talk to us under an Obama administration than the burden we were under for the last 8 years trying to talk to them about Bush.

18. I agree
Even my conservative in-laws called to congratulate me when Obama won the Dem nomination. I love them to pieces and thought that was so classy of them.

22. I voted for the phone number....
I swear, if I have to sit through one more date with a woman that turns out to be a repub, or even worse, one that's never voted and doesn't care to vote, I'm going to give up.

I'm not one of those people who could be married to a pug, I wear my views, often literally on my sleeve.

23. Although lots of couples seem to do it
and for that reason I voted #1, I personally could not. I'm Jewish. I could marry an Orthodox catholic, a Buddhist, a Muslim, an atheist, a pagan - not a fundie Evangelist or Mormon though- but never a Republican.

26. I could never be married to a Republican, but others manage it...
Best of luck to the couple ~ and may the Republican evolve into a dedicated Dem asap!
