Okay, obviously I’m some internet stranger who doesn’t know you or your boyfriend. (And, additionally, doesn’t speak Spanish.)

Going off these texts though, it seems pretty clear he doesn’t respect you. Saying you need to evolve, asking you to say your evenly-presented point “without crying”, and calling you various versions of bigot are, for lack of a better term, dick moves. That’s not how you talk to someone you love. It sounds like he just expects you to blindly follow his opinion without clearly presenting his side or calmly listening to yours.

No one is ever going to 100% agree with his or her partner. (My partner and I have disagreements on TQ+ and regular old politics all the time.) You have to be respectful and not let the issues drive a wedge in your relationship if you really love him or her. These texts showed you doing your best to agree to disagree and your boyfriend doing his best to belittle and antagonize you.

Yes, that's a conversation I need to have with him. Because it can't be like that for having differing opinions every time.

If he cares more about pleasing wokester idiots who he (probably) doesn't even know personally over a loved one, then I would argue it's time for you to break up with him.

It's for the better.
