My (36f) husband (42m) announced that we would no longer talk about anything political.

Please do not repost.

So my husband and I are on different sides of the political spectrum. Dated for 3 years and married for 2. When we met and dated it gave me pause for a moment but he is not very political so I figured let's try this. I fell in love, didn't care about his politics anymore.

So my husband says he is with a certain party but he doesn't vote and really most of it I think is just to get a rise out of people and fight with people which he enjoys.

I am at the opposite side. Most of my life I grew up in areas that were the opposite so I learned to keep my opinions to myself. But I've become more active.

Certain issues I will fight and die over. Lately one of those issues has been very much front and center and one night I was tell my husband about a new news story when he just announced that he didn't want to talk about anything political anymore.

I asked why, he said he's tired of hearing about it and I'm getting too wrapped up in it.

But since then, fine I won't talk about it. Now our conversation is hi, how was your day, this happened at work, did you hear this. Then we just scroll on our phones. Maybe sitting next to each other but no talking.

I've tried to talk about other things, like hey here is an interesting thing, my husband has bluntly said I don't care about that, it's boring. Last night he was looking at vehicles live asked my opinion, I asked a question because of things he said before. I got a very condescending answer and explaination of how I just don't understand anything. I told him I was done helping him, his attitude was not appreciated or needed and I would not continue

I got up and went into the kitchen to clean then went and read in bed.

I don't want this to be my life, just silence. I also don't want to be made to feel stupid for trying. Any suggestions?
