Very weird to enter a marriage where you're this detached from your wife (hexbear.net)

Not weird at all, this is an extremely common marriage dynamic. Many people especially from earlier generations (genx and older) took a very apolitical stance when it came to finding a partner. Some of it is the privilege they enjoy where politics doesn’t directly affect them, some of it is the submissive wife trope where her sociopolitical opinions aren’t important and she is just expected to fall in line behind the man.

Also a lot of "cant have sex out of wedlock or else maw maw gets big mad" and these guys have no clue how to use birth control so they can't even pretend to be celibate when their partner ends up pregnant.

Yeah there is also plenty of that. As well as general sunk-cost fallacy.

There was a whole thing when I was younger about celebrity couples where one was a democrat and the other was a republican, and the message was “see they can make it work”.

Leaving out just how closely aligned their politics actually are given their class position, the political party is just window dressing.

Yea, I definitely remember that. It was a whole gotcha moment that I didn’t realize until much much later was just propaganda.
