Dear Eric: I have a friend of 50 years whom I love dearly. We have shared many of life’s challenges and been very supportive of each other. However, we couldn’t be more different when it comes to our views on politics. We agreed about 30 years ago that we just wouldn’t talk about politics because that is not what our friendship is based on.
We have honored that agreement until recently. We met for lunch and after the usual pleasantries, my friend began complaining about current national/international politics. I made a comment that I didn’t agree with her views and said we should change the subject. She kept talking about politics. The lunch ended on a somewhat unpleasant note.
