Well, I thought I had found my soul mate until she came out of the closet.
Everything was going so well. We kayak; we hike; we love dogs and bird watching; and I thought we were going to love each other. And then I stupidly became her friend on Facebook and BOOM, it all fell apart.
What the heck would you do if your partner’s political leanings were going to be canceling out your vote in November? I’m just too sensitive on that subject. She never gave me a hint. I mean, she didn’t pray over her meals, change the radio channel to country western or anything. She doesn’t even fly an American flag from her porch and I’ve never heard her mention Kid Rock.
Tolerant in Lake Arrowhead
Dear Tolerant,
Well, I’m currently on the wagon, Day No. 20, so I may not be as understanding as I have been in the past. I’m currently irritated by the most trivial of things.
However, to answer your question, I personally would ditch this relationship. This bit of important information should have been forthcoming from you both at the very beginning. The political landscape at this time is explosive. I doubt that watching the election results together in November would lead to a romantic tryst at midnight. The election of the president of the United States has become extremely personal. A loss to either side will be painful, upsetting and agitating.
My sobriety must be protected at all costs, so I will steer clear of any and all political discussion. Lit up, however, I am quite the debater and I’m sure, sir, that you would not want to take me on.
