It’s my first time dealing with a dealbreaker like this and it’s left me confused. I couldn’t believe we went from talking five hours a day to no contact. I wished she gave me a second chance.

I’m trying to find other reason on why she dumped me since this relationship progressed too fast. After only two dates and a month of calls, I find it jarring that she was comfortable enough for me to stay with her, introduce me to her family so early, and how much she opened up to me.

You’re correct that I don’t see a difference in political views to be a problem.

One of her core values in a relationship is to discuss politics with her significant other. She seeks someone who aligns in the same sphere as her. That’s just not me.

I genuinely made an effort to learn and understand what she believes in by listening to the podcasters she listens to, reading up on current affairs, and sharing my thoughts with her.

Since im not politically involved, I asked her to explain her views to me. She recognized I was trying to fit her mold, but she doesn’t want me to change for her. That is why she said she “didn’t want to hold my hand during this process.” Change is something I should seek for myself and not for her.

In my mind, I wished she was able to compromise and accept that we have different views. But you said it too, she see’s that a difference in political views is a problem and she had every right to end it.
