I used to live next door to a liberal man. This was in CA by the way. He was a very nice guy and a good father. BUT his wife (who was a 7th grade teacher) was the man in the family. The rolls were totally reversed. The poor guy was emasculated, he was the SAHD who did all the school activities that the mother usually does. I baby sat their darling little girl twice a week so he could go up to the school to help his son's teacher in the classroom. Now I'm sure DU is thinking "what's the big deal, obviously it's working out for them", but it wasn't. He has quite a bit of issues with the whole arrangement but was too meek to talk to her about it. Yet, he would confide in me on a regular basis.
Apparently he had a mental break down at some point in his life, his wife constantly brought it up. She would purposely tell private and embarrassing stories about him, while he was sitting right there when we would be hanging out together. I could physically see the embarrassment on his face.
Don't get me wrong, my husband and I liked them, probably him more than her but it was a strange dynamic. I had a hunch they were liberals the first day I met them, my hunch was confirmed a few days later when he asked to befriend me on FB and had "I love Obama" crap all over his FB. Those of you on my FB, their last name starts with a B incase you are curious and want to put a face with the person.
That being said, they were nothing like DUmmies. Thet were nice people, we loved their kids and enjoyed having "game night" with them every once in awhile.
