Hindsight can make those stories into something we can chuckle about but going through it in the moment is tough. Unfortunately I don't really have any of those "it's funny now" stories about my last ex.

I've never dated a real commie or radlib type. My wife has good opinions but isn't plugged in, and I envy her for it. I always wanted to date someone who was on my level politically. My last ex was what we would call a turbolib now. She meant well, but like most of her actions, they never amounted to anything tangible. She would go to the protest, but she wasn't interested in getting organized beyond that.
