How to maintain a romantic relationship when two people have completely different political values? Thanks!
That can be challenging! But also potentially rewarding. The thing to do is talk about underlying values: what moral/ethical values lead each of you to your political positions? You might find common ground in those underlying values, even if the path to achieving them is different.

What should I do if my ex randomly followed me
Totally up to you whether to have any kind of relationship with an ex. No wrong answer, but don’t think you owe them anything.
Your answers are so thoughtful, beautiful, + a joy to me. Thank you. How do you do it?
Thank you so much for your kind words. As to how I do it? With a lot of help (and it helps that I’m living in a library with access to millions of volumes.)
Do I reconcile with a friend?
Friendships can be the most life-giving relationships but if the relationship has changed so that both people are no longer contributing, then it might not be a friendship anymore. It is ultimately up to you to determine if you think the friendship is worth fighting for and rebuilding, or if you want to give it time or let it go.
