What Happens When You Love Someone Who Votes for Everything You’re Against?

You believe the country is at a breaking point. Your partner thinks the media is lying — or that President Donald Trump is the only one telling the truth.

Or maybe it’s the other way around.

These days, political differences aren’t just disagreements — they’re reckonings.

What do you do when the political views of your spouse, partner or love interest start to make your skin crawl? Or when they embrace conspiracy theories or defend policies you find morally indefensible?

If that’s happened to you, we want to hear your story.

KQED’s LoveLab explores how we love — and stay connected — when the ground shifts beneath us. In our next episode, we’ll look at relationships strained by politics.

If you’ve experienced this — or are going through it now — we’d like to hear your story.

Here are three ways to share your experience:

• Fill out the short form below
• Record a one-minute voice memo and email it to lmcclurg@kqed.org
• Or leave us a voicemail at 415-553-3300

Please include your name, location, age and the best way to reach you. The information you share will only be used by KQED journalists who may follow up for a deeper conversation.

Thank you for your honesty. We’ll try to help you make sense of the tension — and the tenderness — when love splits the aisle.
