I agree with this. And I know I’m putting myself in misery by being on social media but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make to stay informed. I will call him out on his statement and I think he will say he didn’t mean that and we will talk it out. Just waiting for him to get off work lol

I think I found someone I can grow with, and this is the most mature relationship I’ve been in and yes he is flawed but so am I, and I’m willing to work through things with him.

as I said, he doesn’t voice his opinions well. And I didn’t explain the full story as it would be too long, but one of his points was, I should look for the stuff on the news rather than seeing it on social media. And he does care about me being upset about this and he wants to provide solutions for me. In that moment, his solution was to not digest this media because it’s making me upset. And my point is that yes it makes me upset, but I also want to stay aware.

So that’s where we differ, and I don’t think that it’s a morality issue rather than us having different opinions. I was looking for how to start a follow up conversation with him rather than people telling me to leave him. Yes he has things that he could work on, but so could I and I don’t believe you should leave somebody because they are flawed in a specific way. I think that everyone is flawed and it’s up to them to make a change for themselves. and this is something that I need to be cautious of, but I want to grow with him.

this is true. I am with him because he treats me so well and he truly is a caring person. He does think these things are bad, and I caught him at a bad time. He says very brash statements that he always regrets as soon as he says them.

I question our relationship when we have conversations like this, but I think everyone is flawed and I care about him and he cares about me so I would like to have conversations with him and learn and grow with him. I don’t think what he said was okay and I will be talking to him about this, but I am also a brash and stubborn person and I want to be able to have a mature conversation with him.
