My husband once upon a time was republican. it’s been a journey but at this point he very, very liberal - feminist, pro-gay rights, BLM, etc.

I met my SO as a Parti Socialiste card-carrying member who'd campaign in the streets, hang up posters through the city at night, most of my friends are from the party, often whistle The Internationale while cleaning the house, etc. My family's communist and Résistance past is not a secret either. He knew exactly what he was getting into. I lean more traditionally socialist. He leans more "general" left-wing progressive and green. We have plenty in common with as only difference perhaps some of our focuses. I'll prioritise cause A over B and he'll go for B over A. It never leads to fights, just interesting discussions. I am the one who goes to regular political meet-ups (pre-coronavirus, that is) and who enjoys political history more. He's not affiliated to a particular party. We're both hardcore humanists. I had an ex who switched things on me during the relationship. He had pretended to be somewhat progressive but as the relationship progressed, I figured out he was actually quite conservative. He said something terrible about his trans uni professor (and stopped going to her class). It was the end of us. I couldn't love him anymore. I know others can reconcile such differences. It just so happens I can't. Not for someone I'm in romantic relationship with.
