Dear editor,
I am struggling with come to terms with something my wife of 34 years recently confided in me. She’s been voting Labour. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP
Our marriage has been strangely blissful to be honest.
We’ve had minor challenges but nothing major, and we’ve been open and committed to each other since we met, and willing to work on ourselves to better suit each other.
Our children are grown now – we have 4.
Our twins are 26 years old, our middle child is 22, and our youngest is 19.
We had some challenges with them, but they’ve really progressed well and are on the right path.
I credit my wife for that because to be honest, I could have been more emotionally present in their lives, looking back.
For as long as I can remember, my wife and I have loved to talk politics. And for as long as I can remember we have both been of the view that the Labour Party is the death of Antigua and Barbuda – a rotten cancerous disease that has infected this place and is killing it slowly, decade after decade.
We have always made voting a priority and we have encouraged our children to vote as well.

But two months ago, my wife confided in me that in 2004, 2009, 2014, 2018, and 2023, she voted Labour.
This is despite the fact that for all the years of our marriage, when we spoke, she always told me that she would never support the party. How can I live with her after this? Our whole life has been a lie.
How can she support Labour? Is she on crack or something? Does she need to be checked into an asylum? Does she not see that Gaston Browne and his band of miscreants are a monumental and unabashed failure.
They are wreaking havoc on the moral fibre of this nation. They are stealing the future away from our children.
How could she vote Labour? I asked her why, and all she said was, “Red is bread”. I think she’s a doppelganger.
She can’t be the sweet loving, right thinking perosn I married all those years ago. That sweet woman loved her country and would never sell it to the dogs by voting for the rotten Labour Party.

I’ve spoken to a divorce lawyer about the matter. I think I may need to end things. But I’m torn about what to tell our children. If i tell them that their mother is a Labour supporter, they’ll be broken.
They’ll probably never want to speak to hear again. I don’t want to destroy my family. But I can’t live with someone who voted for Gaston Browne. I just can’t. I would rather have my testicles crushed by a galloping horse than do that.

If she had cheated with another man, I could forgive her. But not this.
Sincerely,
A man who was lied to

Mmmmmm u are crazy
This must be a joke. smh
Your wife should leave you. What irrational behavior and pure foolishness. You’ve expounded for 34 years and you haven’t convinced even your wife to vote for a government you support. Your wife has no business with you.
I’m surprised she allowed you to even debate her, she sounds rational and a woman of integrity and advanced intellect.
What the hell does she have with a moron like you.
For 34 years you’ve reaped the benefits of the ABLP & the 10 years of the UPP made you a believer in their failed economy and unsound economic policy so much so that you’re contemplating leaving a woman who has suffered through your diatribe and obvious unsound reasoning. You are an horrible husband. Are you mentally challenged?
Mrs Whomever you are, pack ya bags now and leave this idiot TODAY!
Thank u ❤
No offense to the writer but this sounds like a bad joke from a bad movie or a reality series…
I totally get that your wife didnt tell you that she voted for labour all these years but I am almost certain that your marriage has survived and is worth much more than your political influences!!
You seem to have a close family so why would you sacrifice their happiness for politics….
Rethink your decision and ALWAYS REMEMBER that governments come and go…
What if the shoe was on the other foot?
Just my opinion
………
Ah just so labour party supporters lie,leave her imagine how much lie she done tell you………
Agreed. So how can she or suppose to trust you? When you kept that from her? What else are you not telling your husband…
Your wife should left you
@ Dexter Pelle
Love u all

You all are just minions that cannot discern between reality and facts, you think the country is running perfect, that Antigua is so clean, there is 100% employment, that there is zero ‘0’ crime, St Johns city is not stink, the gutters drains are not overflowing with grass and weed, taxes are not rising, there are no pot holes in the roads, the hospital have all the toilet paper that they need, Mount St John hospital is not a furnace without a functioning air-con, suppliers are paid on time, there are more beggers than givers in the city;
There has never been so much incompetence in running this country, they cannot get anything right. They have put an Alfa NAR GO around our necks sucking the little dollars that we don’t have. They cannot service their debts so everything that ‘a man that was lied to’ said is correct: USELESS IDIOTS
Give her a break, thats where her mind is. A man convinced against his will is still unconvinced. That too shall pass. Don’t ruined your family for blue and red. Though upset she still builds up the courage to tell you, remember she didn’t have to.
I know the comment about getting a divorce because of this is a joke! I will therefore continue along those lines! You should have your testicle removed and remain with your wife! you should have your testicles crushed! This woman has been a wonderful woman and she does have the right to her own opinion even if we don’t agree with it! amignot agree with her in voting for labor but you have a beautiful wife she raise your children will you have no problem with her why should you let somebody like the Alp come between you and your marriage you have as it were, given them victory to destroy not only your country, but your marriage as well! Now do you want that?
How is this news . . Our country is facing so much challenges and other issues but they will never make the News…. but here we are again with nonsense… plus this idiot took the time to document this instead of fixing this situation within his household ….
Go and get your testicles crushed by a galloping horse. You deserve it for being such an idiot to actually sit and type such crap.
Leave her she is a lier , and can’t be trusted she vote for Labour they don’t care about antiguan
This is a good topic. How to deal with a home with different political affiliation.
I do believe we must respect people’s freewill but I also believe that you should also respect and consider the opinion and information provided to you by genuine love ones.
Let us use an example, you have a son or brother, this person has always been selfless, he provides you with everything you want and everything you need. Even when he was doing nothing for himself because all he things about is your happiness, and he also has attained an education you have not attained. He is now more informed and educating you on what you should expect from your political leaders and how they should be. I think husband and wife, parents and children, should all listen to each other and we must be intelligent enough to understand maybe in a better position to pick what and who is better than the other.
You also have to have the intelligence to know one person do not have a reason to lie and deceive while the other does. Politicians want you to vote for them, so they will lie, deceive and manipulate. Your son or husband are not politicians and their only goal is to get what is best for the family and country. Who would be considered more credible and reliable? Who is truly neutral and impartial?
These are things that family must discuss, and appreciate.
You can not be so dunce to think your brother or son is trying to control who you vote for but saying the politicians who will do anything for you to vote for them is not.
That makes no sense, we have to start thinking bigger now. Start to realize who truly want the family to progress and whose opinion are solely about the progress of the family and who is about winning vote to get a job, be in power and make money.
If a woman or mother or brother find your opinion about holding politicians accountable and your demand for politicians to have a higher standard of care for you and your family is considered to be worthless by family members, promptly disown them and ask them to disown you. I am giving you the advise I have applied in my life recently.
The same people who enjoy your money, demand your money, and use their smart tactics for you to give them your money but only value your money and not your moral, legal, and prudent opinion.
You promptly disown them and donate your money to strangers and give the village a village trust fund.

Idiot you be bout divorce , you wanted to leave, you just got a foolish reason to leave now, she is entitled to vote whomever she wants, why the hell would she vote for a party that can’t even run a candy store chuuupps, hence the reason why she was a good mother she didn’t think like you smh
@Judy. “a party that can’t even run a candy store chuuupps”. If you are saying this is a usual political broadside, and following your leaders then, hey, voices must contend.
If on the other hand you do mean this then you need to consider a few things.
1. Papa said the same thing about Lester. Do you think Papa was crazy?
2. Your present leaders after making the same statement goes to the UPP party whenever they need someone. So what is Dwayne George doing all the way up in finance? Winston
Williams and other? Do they figure out how to run a sweetie shop after jumping ship to join ABLP?
3. Gaston claimed to be a banker; Pearl is/was a banker. So one banker can’t run a sweetie shop but another can? Does this make sense?
4. With all the monies that have seemingly vanished under this govt and the taxes that have been implemented to try to get even more to spend, I cannot
see why you would even consider much more to make such statements at this time. Do you not realize that the true state of borrowings and spendings of this govt ‘
are been hidden from you in order to fool you? Wise up my sister; wise up!
Lol. All the politicians are friends in Antigua. I don’t support ALP, but why would I leave my wife over that?
Remember the top dawg, told the nation that he didn’t know his wife was going to run.
Whats all this hype dont you people think Franz and Brixtonian support Gaston. Just listen to their rants on radio and via this medium respectively, shows a high degree of obsession.
Pretty much like the the Dog and his wife being obsessed with Shuggy. Not surprised about him because he is known to involved with a rice pudding vendor for several years.
I DO ENJOY A GOOD DOSE OF LEVITY, WELL DONE @ A Man Who Lied to 👍🏾
Mind you, if what you are saying is true, divorce she quick 😁
Tell you wife to call the pm office to let him know that workers need their back pay and union increases met soonest since we have to pay all these additional taxes and the fact that overall cost of living is higher
I read the full article now, it was funny and entertaining. The question and points are serious ones as stated in my earlier response but I did enjoy this manner in which it was conveyed also.
I have a question, what if one party promised your spouse a contract for $20 million to, let us say, pave a road. The other spouse hate this party and love the other party, that party is not offering the spouse any contract.
What do you think the spouse should do? Vote for the party she hates but who will give her husband the $20 million contract or the party she loves who will not be giving her husband any such contract.
Assume the contract was given in good faith and best deal the government could have. No are no bad faith contract in this scenario.
Please respond promptly. Thank you.
Red is stayle bread crumbs but don’t divorce her for that
My parents RIP to both were married for over 30 years and supported different political parties…Grow up dude
I tink I know you
Yea divorce her and I and you can link up
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.This shouldn’t be a debate,it’s not enough for you to leave your wife. Sit with your children, they’re are all adults have a civilize conversation.Family ties are rear in these times,also be reminded your wife has her democratic rights to vote for whom she pleases to vote for. This shouldn’t have been an issue for the general public.
This letter reads like it was written by one of the residents on ANR more pointing to the one who claims to be a successful businessman but still have time to comment and reply to others. Still this man sees like a really abusive narcissist or a closested gay man looking for an excuseto leave his wife. Imagine leaving your wife of 30+ years just because she voted for a different party.
No you should not leave her. God gives all a free choice. My closest friends are ABLP supporters! I disagree with them and really can’t understand why! But, I do love them and at this point simply refuse to discuss politics with them. One even offered me a turkey last Christmas which I thankfully refuse.
On others matters, we are tight.
U more than junk big man.to base your marriage on politics. It’s her choices to vote who she wanted. Bc u didn’t give her , her free will.she lie.bc she know u love the other party.n she love the other. It would create a problem. So she lied….me if I found out you was my husband and wanted to leave me bc of this. Mi self would leave you.bc you are unstable. And acting foolishly.
🤣 🤣. This man had a mold in his house all these years, a Labor spy, what a thing.
I’m just happy I’m not the one who has to deal with this betrayal. 🤣.
A house divided against itself will never stand.. No trust here at all. I would be happy with the four kids she gave me, and call it a day..
If any woman come up to me right now and tell me they love me, but they back Labor (especially Gatson Browne) I’m taking a pass her..
And that’s that.. 😂
Thanks for the laugh though. 🤣
Your wife is a labourite through and through. What else is she lying about?
There is a trust issue here, maybe next she will tell him she has a secret lover.
Suuuuurrre, I definitely believe you…🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the levity on this Wednesday afternoon
The foregoing comments and responses illustrates the corruption of the body politic in this country. All relationships, are based on trust; “truth”. Conversley, without trust, there is no relationship. Therefore, those of marriage, was not based on truth; but rather a lie. This brother justly feels betrayed. The betrayal, is tantamount to infidelity. Remember, he or she that is unfaithful in little, is unfaithful in much.
It further begs the question, what else has she lied about all these years. Maybe it’s time to have his supposed children DNA tested. A lot of the comments too, sounds like the plot of the film “Indecent Proposal” Brother! Clearly you have been sleeping with a snake.
