Like weed for you it’s a non issue. For me I don’t want it in my life. Different deal breaker

But I am married to someone who has different political views than mine. Yes it’s annoying at times but not a deal breaker. I can live with it. As long as it’s not in my face. But I know people who’d not marry someone whose political views differ. They have a different deal breaker. We also have different religious beliefs. It’s a non issue as we respect each others faith, and honor both traditions. I know people for whom different faith is a deal breaker. And it’s perfectly fine! But I have many deal breakers that are non issues for others. And it’s just fine!

We are all different! That’s the beauty of it.
This is very important and I am SO glad you brought it up! People have various dealbreakers and tolerance levels, which differ and are very subjective and individual. Weed is not a dealbreaker for me, but addictions are.

Political and religious views? It just depends for me. Jay is more conservative politically and is Republican, while I am liberal and a Democrat. I am not yet sure if this is a problem or not.... only time will tell, along with all my other questions.
