The consensus we reached last night was to just never talk about this, but this is very important to me and I'm a passionate and honest person, so it isn't exactly easy for me to just be quiet. It feels like I'm being silenced. He just will not agree with me, will not look into it. I feel like if he actually researched this, he would come to the same conclusion (like any rational human would), but he refuses because he thinks he will never agree. So I'm not really sure where that leaves us.

Imagine a future with someone who always buys into media/online soundbites and slogans without thinking for himself or doing research. It would drive me crazy.

If your husband was disabled and was passionate about an issue hurting disabled people, how would he feel if you contradicted him without looking into the issue and then silenced him about it?

Or being with a person who never takes your views seriously enough to even look into them but just keeps insisting he is right. Do you think that person really sees you as an equal?
