Next thing you know, you're beloved t-shirts (she hates) are off to the Goodwill. And... you won't really care.
Well, I don't own such t-shirts, but even if I did, I doubt it would be an issue. We have pretty similar politics. She is a feminist, has very far left views, and has read at least part of The Manifesto as well as Engel's The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State. Pretty much a socialist at heart, or at the very least she is certainly sympathetic towards it.
One mistake a lot of people make in a relationship is dating someone with too different of political views as your own. People view such things as more of a bonus than a necessity, when it should be the other way around - you could love someone with all your heart but the relationship is probably not going to work if you guys clash all the time due to differences in politics. I was fortunate enough to find someone who is a great person all around, that shares my interests and has views very similar to my own.
Us having similar politics I think was also part of the reason we fell in love as quickly as we did, among other things too private to discuss here. We talked about them extensively on our first date, and I felt like I could talk to this woman forever, about anything. Of course, having the same values and lifestyle certainly helps too
I am quite certain I have found my soulmate.
