Ugh. I love my fiance, I do.
But we have one glaring incompatibility
I really worry will be the end of us someday.
I am a very proscience, evidence based person who doesnt have interest in anything fatalistic,
Homeopathic, etc. I scrutinize the studies I read, I only stand firm on ones well documented with supporting studies. I understand western medicine has some serious problems and nothing is a cure all. Etc. Im not so much rigid as I am simply consistent. My fiance absolutely does not care about studies and is quick to jump on any hype train about tOxiNs. (I to prove a point once, tricked him on the 'dihydrogen monoxide ' thing and all it did was piss him off rather than learn from it.) Its even more annoying because HE ISNT consistent. Cursing the posions put into our food and yet he is obsessed with chinese food and claims that he knows when a restaraunt doesnt use msg because otherwise his hands go numb. But I just proved one of his favorites to eat at DOES USE MSG and legit he got offended and still asserts the 'specific dishes ' he orders doesnt have it. Like he just keeps trying and its a blatant lack of self awareness to me. More worried about msg and brain damage than literally sugar and foods in general that arent healthy for you and you shouldnt have a lot of anyway. I feel like he takes positions to suit his likes and dislikes. "Idc what the studies say. Just incase it harms me im not eating it *eats a ton of fucking sugar* " but if its something he doesnt like hell happily read bad studies about those things.

I just lowkey hate knowing if we break up someday its like
His mindset: she is too stubborn in her beliefs and thinks science is everything when its not

Mine: he suffers from cognitive dissonance and i worried his antiscience stances might put whatever future children we would have(mr. Idk about vaccines) had in harm later for quickly googled biased beliefs from natural health blogs.

Besides this we are super compatible. Get along great. But this is kinda a BIG one. And whenever something comes up to trugger this conversation. Its never pretty.
