Believe me when I say it's been a rollercoaster. We started dating back when I was in college and probably weeks before I got on the Trump train (Fall 2015). She'd come visit me every weekend and one time, I got into a conversation with my roommate and we both started to agree that Trump was a leader, loved his "alpha personality", and that we were excited to vote for him. This was probably around the time when they started attacking him for being racist and what not. My girlfriend cried and wasn't sure about the future of our relationship at this point.

After lots of discussions and sharing articles and trying to get through to her, she ended up not sending in her ballot in 2016, which she had filled out for Hillary.

Fast forward to 2020, we're still happily together and she always told me she'd never tell me who she votes for this election. A few of her friends know I'm a Trump supporter and it baffles them -- one went even as far as basically cutting my girlfriend out of her social circle (my girlfriend still blames me for this but whatever, overall not too bad).

This morning she decided to tell me she voted for DJT. I come here to tell the story because I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone... but I trust you pedes to not spread the word and I had to tell someone!

Yep, I did similar. All of the girls I dated were for a month or so usually and if they weren't wife material I didn't continue it. I think I married my wife after about 6 months of dating (we met in April and went to a courthouse in Oct, wedding in Dec).

Been married 21 years now. Best decision of my life.
