Christopher, I have been where you are numerous times. Well, not because of ideological differences, but we all have experienced broken hearts. I have found, Christopher, that each and every time my heart was broken, it turned out to be for a damn good reason. I would suggest to you that you do not know how lucky you are. Your heart may be broken, you may be in pain you have never felt before because love is one of these emotions that we cannot control. We can’t go out and decide on the spot, ‘Hey, I want to be in love,’ and do it. And as you are now learning, when you’re in love, you can’t just say, ‘I don’t want to be in love anymore,’ and not be. Real love has this control over us, but you, sir, are fortunate that this happened before you made any further commitments beyond where you were. Imagine this happening after you had been married. This girl could have been even worse than you imagine her to be. She could have been purely deceitful. She could have said, ‘A-ha,’ she could have waited until you proposed and then married you, and then after marrying you, discovering how horrible you were, demand half of what you have for deceiving her a month or so after you were married. It could have happened. You never know.
Regardless, consider yourself fortunate. You found out who she and her family are prior to any real commitment that you made. You have to try to find there’s good that happens in everything, and sometimes it doesn’t reveal itself for quite a while. Sometimes it reveals itself instantly. In your case the good here is easily spotable.
But imagine this. We all know the power of love, and this guy has willingly hung in here, the EIB Network. He will not have his core beliefs compromised. And Christopher, one other thing. You’re trying to figure these people out; you’re trying to figure out their intolerance. There’s no rational explanation for it. You will go nuts trying to understand. The best that you can do is to understand they have a false sense of superiority, they think they’re smarter and better than everybody else, and it’s good that you didn’t even get into an argument with her, ‘Well, have you ever listened to Limbaugh? Do you know what happens on his radio program?’ It’s a good thing you didn’t even do that, and it’s an even better thing that you didn’t chase her, because if — and I know this is a quaint old thing — but if this is supposed to be for you, it will happen. You can’t force it, you can’t speed it up, and if it’s meant to be, you can’t stop it, either. So I would suggest here that you realize that you have received a very big break. You don’t know how lucky you are.
Imagine that. He did everything he could to support this woman and her family and didn’t argue with them ever, and they know him, they know who he is. He’s been around long enough for them to have accepted him, and all of a sudden his stupid b-i-itch fiancee finds out he listens to me, and that is enough to turn this family totally against him? This is why I say, in addition to her being a stupid b-i-itch fiancee, he’s lucky.
