Radicalized Spouse
My husband of over 20 years has more recently become obsessed with negative political news and has shifted to a quite radicalized nationalist, Christian (we've always been non religious) and even racist thinking and values. Our marriage has been suffering a lot, because I very much disagree with his views on most political and religious topics.
We've started couples therapy but I don't even know where to go from here. How can I happily be married to someone who's values and beliefs are so different from mine. I couldn't ask him to "change" his beliefs. Not would he.
He has semi recently been diagnosed with ADHD and I know these obsessive type behavior are normal with that (I've witnessed it with other hobbies and such over the years). But I don't think this is one that will just fade away like other "hobbies".
How have you dealt with a spouse that has completely changed? And/or who's values are different from yours?
