Respect is at the core of a healthy relationship. Your partner is someone who is supposed to respect you and you are supposed to respect them.

Someone cannot coherently claim to respect you whilst also saying that they are embarrassed to have you around.

By that same token i don't think we can coherently claim to respect someone whilst saying that their most cherished beliefs are not just obviously false - but also a symptom of wilful irrationality.

Love might draw you to someone - but without respect love isn't going to be enough.

I ended up breaking up with my partner a few years back because i was GC and although she privately agreed with a lot of my views she didn't want to be associated with them publicly.
