The story · English

The article addresses a relationship dilemma raised in the context of the war since October 7: one partner says she can no longer tolerate her boyfriend’s political views and asks what to do. It cites research showing that political opinions are often very hard to change, but says there is another way to approach such conflicts.

The piece is framed as advice on how to deal with deep political disagreement at home, without expecting persuasion to work. It appears alongside other Hebrew-language opinion and feature items, but its focus is the personal question of whether and how a couple can continue when political differences have become unbearable. The article does not present a final resolution, but points readers toward accepting that changing the other person’s views is usually unrealistic.
