This happens all the time and I'll never understand it, usually one of them eventually changes their politics to match the other's but every once in a while you get one of these.
People really would rather be in a relationship with someone who they hate on the most fundamental level than alone.
It’s so prevalent. You’re 100% right, the fear of being alone overcomes the feeling of being stuck with someone you resent.
There is also a very real aspect of these situations that can be attributed to privilege. Many people are ignorant to their own material conditions and don’t pay any mind to how politics actually affects them.
