My husband and I talk about how we will vote and if we choose a different candidate we don't critisize, we just discuss why we think differently. Generally we agree, especially about the Presidential election.
This is my personal complaint with Vote By Mail, which I have enjoyed for 20+ years in Oregon. Women vote differently than men, writ large, but that assumes the privacy of a secret ballot. Many, many domestic relationships are unbalanced in terms of power, and women have learned to choose their battles. Being coerced how to vote doesn’t top that list in difficult relationships.
Oh my goodness, you sweet summer child. I know a woman with an MBA from Purdue, and after her divorce she told me she ALWAYS complied with his voting instructions. I recently participated in a professionally designed political poll (local issue) which included specific voters selected based on gender and location etc for a broad base; all of us experienced men answering the phone who would not allow their female partners to answer the poll, even when we asked for them by name. They wanted to answer for her.
I don't even tell my wife who I vote for. If someone rando asked me.........
I do .We vote the same.

You should tell him that he votes wrong. That should ruffle his feathers.

Really!? A woman will vote the way her husband tells her in 2024!? That is ludicrous.

My mother always went to the polls by herself and never told my dad whom she voted for.
My wife and I are very similar politically, but she's never 100 percent sure about me Lol.
Sounds healthy! Love it!
I’m glad for that. I wish all women felt so empowered. But we know that’s not the case.
