If she's the kind of person to act first and then question later, he dodged a bullet. God forbid she actually ENGAGE with her own BF to ask why and try to understand his motivations over his political opinion.

Id say she lucked out. If it hadnt been for Trump, the guy might not have shown his true colors until after they were married, and she would have had to go through a divorce.

In a way I guess thats a small positive from his presidency. The ignorant racists and bigots of the US have been emboldened and outed themselves

Ehh, there are some political affiliations that tell what a person's ideals are, which if highly disagreeble, could lead to breaking up.

I don't think that applies to every Republican or Trump supporter though. At least not to the level of breaking up.

Did you miss the 3 years dating part in the OP? If someone hasnt done something to define themselves as racist in 3 years of dating them, guess what?

Not really, if it's something that grew a wedge in the relationship, better break off now instead of after they are married.

because supporting Trump means you're racist?

And BTW there is no way to solve racism other than talking about it. When you have a dialogue, the truth will prevail. Echo chambers bring out the worst in people.

Some people desperately need their petty echo chambers to hold onto. She was likely looking for an excuse to break up with him though. Dont think any of these political break up stories are showing the whole picture.

This only suggests that one or both of them are too immature to be in a marriage relationship. Conflict resolution is a key skill for the married couple.

This was her tweet.

When my ex (3+yr relationship & living together) was happy Trump won, I broke up with him. Nov 9. No regrets. Why stay w/ a person who doesnt care about those on the "edge of the night", as HIS favorite musical artist sang? It was difficult, but 1 of the best decisions I've made.

Yeah, this sounds like a completely believable scenario. They obviously had no clue about each other's political leanings prior to the election. Clearly.

It's not about being racist or anything, if something about the guy made her reconsider him a suitable partner, what does 3 years matter? She doesn't owe him a second chance because they've been together a long time.

Youre right. Previous experience cannot at all be a predictor of future behavior /sarcasm. This has nothing to do with a sunk cost. Rather, it has to do with an established relationship and its actual depth. Clearly, the example in the OP would be an example of a shallow relationship. My wife and I have been together for four years now. I dont need to ask her how she feels about something because I already know. We know each other that well when it comes to the important stuff. We have only been together one year longer than the OP example. Our knowledge of each other didnt suddenly start in the last year.

Frankly, it is really irrelevant why a girl decides to break up with her boyfriend. I will say it again. Either he, she, or both is/are quite shallow. Both will be better off in the end for having ended the relationship.

I wouldn't go as far that, but it's her life. Some people just need politically compatible mates. And Trump's extremism fuels this. Latching onto Trump can just be poisonous.
