| | Politics is Ruining Our Relationship. What Can We Do? | | by Justin Hale |
|
| | How can I maintain a healthy relationship with my partner when political discussions consistently escalate into verbal abuse? While we have an otherwise loving relationship, his angry reactions to my political views are damaging our communication. His views lean one way, and I lean the other, and if we discuss politics it turns into him cutting me off, digging into his views, and calling me stupid and other names. What can I do?
Signed,
Punished for My Political Viewpoints

| | | | One approach would be to call him stupid and then fume about it on social media or with friends at lunch. Of course, I’m kidding, but how many of us do exactly that?
Believe it or not, your conflict is not about politics; it’s about how you talk. If you want to have a productive Crucial Conversation and address the friction between the two of you, you need to talk at the right level. Let me explain.
