s/o Taboo Topics...any that you and DH disagree on?

I'll say that I am for gay marriage. My DH, with his religion, is vehemently against it and thinks homosexuality is wrong. I don't think people choose to become gay, he does. It is one topic that we really clash on and have had many debates on. He has even made comments to DS like "Daddy is the ONLY boy you can ever kiss", to which I often reply "Don't worry, if you want to kiss boys, you can kiss boys, Mommy will still love you." Even with my (in my opinion) very valid arguments, he is really By the Bible about it and I can't get him to budge. We really don't disagree on much else but that is a big one.

So are there any "hot topics" that you and your DH disagree on? Different political views, etc?

  • I'm pretty sure DH this PPD is complete bullshit. Which makes me want to smack the crap out of him.

  • DH and I do not see eye-to-eye when it comes to abortion. Other than that, we have agreed on most controversial issues thus far.

  • I think DH would have been quicker to talk about ending a pregnancy if we had found out something was seriously wrong with the baby. I am not as quick to think that. Hopefully we never have to make such a decision.

    I am probably still a little more liberal than DH, and more religious/spiritual but we agree on most of the same things.

  • We agree on pretty much every big issue.  I couldn't see myself with someone that didn't share my core beliefs.  However, he is more hardcore about stuff, I tend to see more gray areas.
  • We have different religious views. DH is agnostic and I believe in God.

    However, he still participated in a religious wedding ceremony for me. The church was very important to me because my gparents and parents were married there. It was more about the place than the fact that it was a church. Still, we had a traditional United Methodist ceremony. I loved it. :)

  • DH and I have the same viewpoints on pretty much everything political, except that I can get on a soap box about stuff and he is very quiet. We are both pro-choice (even after having a baby), pro-gay marriage, etc, very definitely liberal. We do disagree on small personal stuff, he doesnt like that I still see my ex once a year for lunch in a very public place and talk to him on phone a couple more times every year, although doesnt care that we chat on FB. He thinks I need to get over my anti-Palin sentiments or at least not be so vocal on them on FB. We are discussing the possibility of home schooling if we can get to where I dont have to work - by discussing, I mean that I keep telling him we really should think about it and he keeps telling me home schooled kids are religious freak, but I say that is only if they are raised by uber religious freaks.

  • - He says he could NEVER ever adopt... he said he'd always feel detached from the child because it's someone else's. I would have no issues adopting AT ALL. He's not really a kid/baby person though. He has no interest in anyone else's child but ours.

    - He blamed every disagreement we had on me having PPD (which I didn't) when Connor was born. Maybe I just needed some help, understanding, sleep and encouragement?! Grrr...

  • Spanking.  I'm anti, DH is pro.  We're still working on this one, but I think it's probably going to be "only in life-threatening situations," like running out into traffic.  Also, we disagree politically.  Mostly lately about teachers' unions.  I'm pro, he's anti - my mom and brother teach, and he's had a lot of bad experiences with the auto workers' union, so he's just generally anti union.

  • It's kind of eerie how matched our ideals are. We have the exact same arguments. It gets kind of boring in our house when we both just agree on things. We do tend to get pretty incensed when we start talking about the ignorant folks who are opposed.

  • I don't believe in spanking. DH does. We will obviously have to have some very serious talking/researching/rule setting in the near future. (by which I mean he will eventually agree with me).

    We agree on everything else and were just having the "gay" talk with some family members last night. We both believe the bible, but do NOT think being gay is a choice. If the bible says homosexuality is a sin, and the bible says we are born in to sin, why can't people be born gay? Gay people are often treated badly, and people wouldn't just choose to be bullied as teens and ridiculed as adults-sometimes by their closest friends and family- for fun.

  • He thinks he's awesome, I disagree.  Clearly, I'm the awesome one.

    This is always my argument with DH! I often challenge him with scenarios like..."If the only 2 couples who could raise our child were a gay couple who would love him more than anything and give him the best of everything or a straight couple who would beat the shiit out of him and leave him to sleep in his own crap for days on end, which would you prefer?" and he always weasels his way out of actually answering.

    I am not sure I want to be pregnant again, especially when there are so many kids around that need a home. He would rather use a surrogate if I am not capable of having another baby, but if some other woman is going to carry my baby, to me it would be the same as adopting (not physically mine) so for me it reinforces adoption anyway.

  • DH and I are like-minded when it comes to faith, social issues, and politics. The only thing we DON'T agree on is that I would prefer to teach our DS to save sex for marriage. (I was raised in a Christian home, although DH is a Christian now he was not raised in a Christian home.) I had premarital sex when I was 18 with a guy who had chased me for 3 years, only to find out that he had a bet going with his friends to see if he could get the "good Christian girl" to "go bad." I struggled for a long time with guilt about it and it really hurt me because I thought that guy really loved me. DH says he wants to teach DS to stay pure until marriage, but DS is a boy and it's not a serious as if we were raising a DD. I told DH that what I felt when I was just a bet really hurt me, and I don't want our DS to ever cause any girl that kind of hurt. The best way he would keep from breaking a girl's heart would be to save sex for his wife, and DH agrees with that, but he's still not going to push it with our DS. It's silly to think about now, since DS is only 5 months old, but I want to raise him to be a young man of integrity and I think that starts early.

    Almost the exact same at our house.  We say we want him to be whatever he wants to be.  DH thinks I will "make him gay" by telling him he can love and be whatever and whoever he wants.  I agree people don't choose to be gay.  Who would choose to be hounded and bullied for loving someone?  I know it's more accepted in other parts of the world, but not so much in the Midwest.

    This is my DH and I. I tend to be more neutral or easy going whereas he is a bit more extreme with his views. And agreeing with the the last few pp we argue enough as it is without throwing different views in the mix!

  • DH is ok with using spanking to discipline a child and I am not on board with that.  We will have to have some serious discussions about it.  Otherwise we are fairly in sync with our views and opinions.
  • We agree on just about everything. We are both very liberal and fairly tree hugger-ish. I would have to say the only difference is I am a little more out there than DH is. I am willing to give up toilet paper or the washer, and he is not. I am open to the idea of reincarnation, he is not.

    Lately, we have been in disagreement about me being a surrogate for my best friend. I am very willing, he doesn't want me to.

  • DH and I are both very liberal, agnostic, tree hugging people.  I would say our only difference is in our shades of gay pride :)  My best friend is gay and has been in a relationship with a guy for the same amount of time that DH and I have been together.  I am super pro-gay, and DH is just like, yeah, they should be able to get married.  I get super mad at people who don't think homosexuals should have the same rights as everyone else, and DH has to talk me down :)  I don't think DH would be awesome if DS turned out to be gay, but he wouldn't disown him or anything.
