2 posts | 2 read
Do you thrust unsolicited partisan articles upon your spouse? Are you convinced that you can change your coworkers mind, if you could only argue forcefully enough? Have you gone from befriending to defriending the people once closest to you? Dont give up hope; Dr. Jeanne Safer is here to help. Since the election of Donald J. Trump, political disagreements have been ravaging our personal relationships like never before. This already widespread phenomenon will continue to grow unless we learn to fight it. From friends to relatives to lovers, no relationship is immune to this crisis. I Love You, but I Hate Your Politics draws from interviews with every type of politically mixed couple, as well as Dr. Safers own experiences as a die-hard liberal happily married to a stalwart conservative. The result is a practical guide to maintaining respect and intimacy in our increasingly divided world. I Love You, but I Hate Your Politics is sure to educate and entertain anyone who has felt the strain of ideological differences in their personal life. No matter which side of the fence you're on, Dr. Safer offers frank, practical advice for salvaging and strengthening your bonds with your loved ones. This book is required reading for any politically minded friend, relative, or significant other in the Trump era.

The author is a psychotherapist who uses her own bipartisan relationship and those of her clients to explain how to deal with political conflict in important relationships. She is honest & calls people out who berate their loved ones. They should be more important than your politics. Respect that they can different beliefs & do not try to force them to change. With this divisive political climate, it was great to read about finding common ground.

My husband and my Sunday reading material. Let‘s just say the tagged book is of particular relevance 😉😎😆🥰.

@CarolynM @JennyM so far so good on the Perlman front. Quite unlike his other work. 👍

BarbaraBB I am looking forward to your thoughts on the Perlman. I used to love his books years ago! 5y
JennyM That‘s good to hear - really looking forward to it. Hope you had a lovely afternoon of reading x 5y
