CMV: Politics is a good reason to end a relationship

I remember there being a small rash of news stories about couples, some married for years, breaking up in the wake up of the Trump election as a result of who people voted for. A similar thing happened on a smaller level with Brexit in the UK. 

This was met with a lot of comments from people in news sites saying that was a stupid reason to break up, but I disagree. ' Politics' isn't just a game politicians play, or something that happens away from the world. Political views reveal a lot about beliefs on society, rights, justice, and basically political views are very intertwined with personal morality. 

Having a partner who challenges you is good, but wide differences are a legitimate break in a relationship. I would argue the couple who broke up after years of marriage in the wake of the American election didn't break up trivially because political parties  suddenly became important, but that they'd ignored that aspect of their relationship if neither was interested in politics, and the election revealed some very deep personal divides which were irreconcilable.

So, political differences can be a make or break aspect of a relationship, and justifiably so.

A genuinely healthy, happy relationship shouldn’t end because of politics – and they don’t.  But fraught political issues can reveal deeper problems and incompatibilities – like a lack of respect, opposing world views, etc.  The 2016 presidential race and Brexit were breaking points for relationships that were already badly fractured.
