runningtings Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Anyone else heading for divorce because of the referendum? It was kind of jokey at first with the wife, but now it's looking we might get it she is going totally mental at every YES post or news item.

iainmac1 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Maybe some people think I have taken things to far but this means so much to me and I have thrown so much effort behind it. I have deleted people on facebook for liking the better together page and posting unionist nonsense, including a friend I used to live with. My brothers fiance voted no so I have banned her from my house. I would dissown any family memeber that voted no and if my girlfriend was intending to vote no there isn't a chance I could still be with her. Luckily she is voting yes as are all my family.

Is that not a bit extreme? Surely people are entitled to have a different political outlook than yourself without you having to cut them off completely? With that logic you'll need to ignore about 49.5% of the country come Friday morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac1 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I don't need unionist friends, I have enough Yes ones and have made many more over the past couple of years. My brother's fiance voted no becasue she doesn't like Alex Salmond, that surely justifies a ban on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peever1745 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) I think married women should vote the way their husbands tell them. Why should women have to worry about these things when they already don't have enough hours in their day for houswork and making the T.

runningtings Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 I actual feel that I am being far more reasonable than my friends and family and have had to put up with their BT aggression for some time now. If they don't want to vote YES that's up to them, they are too far gone to bother trying to convince. I'll be glad when its all over and we have won.

I never said why she was voting no but whatever the reason it would have been a stupid one. If your that concerned I could pass you on all the names of the people I unfriended and you can add them to rebalance matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiefaetheferry Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I've actually had to shut up around the wife as she had gone from undecided to Yes, but tells me that if I don't shut up about it she will vote No just to spite me. It was probably therefore childish of me to point out the attractiveness of the wee brunette ride that shows Alex where to stand for a photo.

jockodile Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I can imagine relationships of all types being strained especially as the vitriol has heated up. Even more so when you are passionate about the result and others don't share this core value. But it is only a democratic vote, no one dies, the sun still comes up on Friday. Relationships can, and will, be repaired. Contrast this to the Irish Civil war in the 1920s, a bloody affair of father v son, wife v husband which resonates even until this day in the make up of the Irish parliament.
