(14,337 posts)I am ME (Democrat) and he is HE (Republican). We are NOT one flesh and do not ever attempt to tell me we are. It is called COMPROMISE. He goes his way and I go mine when it does not involve the "us" part of our marriage. When that happens, we reach an understanding which is beneficial to both of us.
As a young woman, I fought these battles; unmarried and married. I still have a horse in this battle since I have only daughters; straight and gay. On both fronts I realize that there are some who would want to take away BOTH their CIVIL RIGHTS. I will continue to fight, and I have with gay marriage. However, my straight daughter, even married herself, has a lot to loose with reproductive freedom loses. I know for a fact that she does not want to be breeding mare because she has a ring on her finger.
As long as I am living and breathing, I will continue to fight as I did in my youth. HOWEVER, we older women cannot do this ourselves and all alone. Our daughters and their sisters must take up the reins and fight also.
