jennaflower,

Tolerance of the peculiarities of another is always difficult. That’s one of the values to elections – if society’s point of view changes on an issue, policies may be changed with the least amount of bloodshed, if not gnashing of teeth.

When the peculiarities of another are particular and immediate, as in the case of the political expressions of one with whom one shares one’s life, well, that can require a degree of tolerance that even the most civilized among us may on occasion lack.
