| Facing your Stupid, Misguided Lover on Election Day | ||
|
Last month The Frisky ran a piece on how to get through the elections when you and your romantic partner are on different sides of the political fence. Their suggestions were all about avoiding conflict, distracting yourselves with neutral activities and staying respectful. Nice. Sounds like something Nancy Reagan would have said. Like “I don't talk about political matters. That's not my department”. Actually, that is something she DID say!  Eleanor Roosevelt, on the other hand, said “I could not at any age be content to take my place in the corner by the fireplace and simply look on”.  Nancy Reagan was a Republican first lady (or apparently so she was told); Eleanor Roosevelt was a Democrat. Hmmm.... now why does that dynamic sound familiar? How about (instead of accepting his or her misplaced understanding of current reality) adding that thought to your arguments and raucous debates about the future of your country? You can be pretty sure that if one of you doesn't land up sleeping on the sofa that night, the final communication of the night will be done with fervent, uncompromising sex.
