Can you get committed to a person having divergent political opinion?

[lebanon4ever]

i can have a GF from other religion,i don't mind at all,i can even marry her.But to have a GF with other political affiliation ,well,it is more than impossible.
Most of my friends are fpmer,and i am so happy with this.I have tried to have freinds who are LFers,but believe me,each time i went out with them,i hear so many direspecting words.SO ,yes,i say ,it i cannot have a GF that wont have the political vision and the same ideas as mine!!!!

He was an active Conservative and one day he told his wife" listen, if you're voting Liberal I won't argue with you, but I want to know just so we could both just stay at home and not vote because our votes would cancel each other!".... That was the only time he knew the political affiliation of his wife.

Inno not to that extend kamen!!!I might get along witha person who has different political view.Many of my friends do not share my political opinions and sometimes we quarell for half an hour about some issues but after that we forget and go on.So i don't find political divergence a block infront of commitments and friendships .

If i got you well, you are saying that every person adopts the culture of the political party he belongs to, and matching these political cultures is far more difficult than joining religions and theological cultures ? !

I also have many friends and relatives with different political views. Whenever we talk politics, it is either to stand on our opinions (we rarely reach a consensus), or we just avoid going deep in the core of the subject to avoid escalation.... we stick to stupidities...

That's ok with persons we see every once and then, but would it be a suitable environment to raise a family, won't these descrepencies affect other subjects and lead to escalation?

yea sure~ my brother is pure fpm and his girlfriend is pure lf and the're so much in love! when they talk politics they dont agree, but i dont see why it should affect their relation! and the're so cute and in love!
i dont see why this should affect relations, i think it could add something,
it's the same as accepting someone with "defauts" you can't stand perhaps! you keep your own opinion, respect the other person's opinion and dont let it affect you! it's a problem for some in lebanon, cos politics is so in our blood!!

i think when u meet person u get to know his personnality first before asking him about his political ideas, so u can b attracted by a person from another political party long before u know that he belongs to it
i, personally used to go out with a person in kataeb and we didnt faced pb (mbala akid but not because os his political ideas)

Mephisto,some parties culture cannot be adopted or "yenbala3o beshoule".They need a 1000 Tones of seven up,ta yenhadamo!!!sorry but it is the fact

i had an LF bf.. so this should answer the question.

Love is Love..whatever the person's political stance or religion....

Ok in principle its ok, as long as you are not politicaloholics. Ofcourse if you have the saem political affiliation, it could add to the harmony you guys enjoy. Now if you have different opinions, its allright as long as you do not try to argue about the subject a lot and as long as you are both not very active politically, because trust me if you both are, and the parties you support are extremes you will get into lots of trouble. You will really need to manage sucha relationship well.

Thats really a good question as for me i guess it depends if each one respects the other partner opinion without hurting each one"s belief but if it will turn on with fights i guess its better not to be comitted as whats the use it wil lead to more frustrations and quarrels so it all depends on respect...thats all

i think i can ever get committed to a person having divergent political opinion!
in fact no one can ever forget war! we can always pretend that we forgot or we forgived and bla bla bla ..but when it comes to the real feeling there is such a thing called "we7deh wataniyyeh" we all wish it couls happen but we should face reality!!!!!
wouldn't i ever watch news with this person? wouldn't i ever have a political discussion with him (come on we are in lebanon)? i bieleve we will have a fight each day (or maybe more than once a day)...if it's not a fight...both of us will get angry!!!! so i bieleve i can't work out!
