Did any of your spouses vote different than you?

I did not have this happen to me. But I was just curious how it is in your household if you and your spouse have different views.

Don't be silly.

My wife always does everything I tell her to do.

My wife might have voted differently, I don't know.

We've been together for 5 years married for 3. I was incredulous when she confided to me that this was the first time she's ever voted ... for anything. She moved around a lot when her ex was in the military. She said they make it super easy for soldiers to vote, but civilians not so much. I don't think she's implying they made it more difficult. I didn't dig into the issue, for she was a little ashamed for not having done so.

We have similar opinions, beliefs, thoughts on the roles of government, freedoms of people, etc, but we're not one mind.

Based on our recent Amazon and Target bills... I have a feeling I know which of the parties she voted for... I accidentally voted the last one, but in my defense I didn't have my readers and thought there was an L at the end of it... I was already getting myself rubbed down in poi before I learned of the error.

No way that would fly with me, but, I would have that figured out in the "courting stage". Also, I would say if that does happen in a marriage, 99% chance the husband is a democrat and the wife is a republican.

I'm for sure missing this reference.

Ever seen the movie Jarhead? Plenty of Jody references there.

Basically, "Jody" is the strawman name for a guy that seduces military wives and girlfriends while their significant others are deployed, in training, etc.

As somebody that has canvassed and done phone banks for Democratic candidates in a previous life, I can tell that in my experience, it was usually the reverse. It was the husband that was the Republican and the wife was a secret Democrat.

My wife just told me that she voted for ME for President, which is totally badass.
We are pretty moderate, we have voted the same, and also voted differently. I do respect her enough to not get too upset when we disagree, and I learned that I wasn't going to be able to change her mind. I will say this to her credit : she only voted for obama 1 time :)
