Re: Your partner and their views.
i suppose i do care, if it means i can get my own views across. or maybe i listen and see how to respond. im not sure.
Re: Your partner and their views.
they:
a. should have exactly similar views to yours.
b. should agree and disagree with your views, as you would do with theirs.
c. should have a completely different viewpoint, that'll keep you talking.
d. you don't care, as long as they're good in bed.
and why? for those who already have partners, which one do you think you both come under?
I'd choose B and D. :D
why did you keep using the word 'they'. How many partners are you planing to have ..
ulloo
I will go with B, should agree to disagree.
Re: Your partner and their views.
i am having multiple partners, to prove i am a big big man 
Re: Your partner and their views.
Sometimes being a 'smile and nod' kind pf person speaks volumes. I tend to do that at work so later on they can't actually remember what I said so I can't be pinned down on doing something I didnt even say I was going to do.
Re: Your partner and their views.
I was waiting for someone to say that 
I care what some people think–not everybody tho.
Re: Your partner and their views.
A through G.
It really depends on what the agreement and disagreement, and all that jazz is. If it’s something stupid like wall color, well I don’t really care if there is agreement or disagreement. At the end of the day, I’m getting my way. However, something big like the number of children, there should be some consensus, some compromise or something, if there is disagreement.
G is kaboofying your husband

Husband is not allowed to have any views anyway
Re: Your partner and their views.
I have a feeling desi men don't really expect their wives to have opinions or hold debates. Don't throw tamatars at me, I'm speaking from what I've observed in most desi households. The men are usually the ones discussing politics and life and whatnot, the ladies don't really engage in these debates. The men are the decision makers most of the times even when the ladies have a strong opinion on something.
If I am to go through this rishta interviewing process, this is one of the things I would want to clarify with him. Dude, I haz opinions, don't like em? Piss off!

yeah well, my man better be able to deal with the opnions pfffffffffffffftttttttt.
honestly though, you'd think that men would like a spouse who they can engage in discussions with, who can talk about a variety of things yknow?

I think the newer generation would like that, yes. But if you look at most desi couples around you, do they really come across as being interested in discussing anything other than household/family matters with each other? I know of a couple, the woman is a dentist (not working) but she is so suppressed by her husband that even if she voiced her opinion, he'd probably be like "pfftt what do you know?" May be some people even label opinionated women as being "tez" or "shaatir" ...
Anyway, as I said, my man better care about my opinion and not treat me like I don't have a clue about what's going in the world.
Re: Your partner and their views.
what does caring about an opinion mean?? like agree with it?? 
Re: Your partner and their views.
No, believe in me. Trust my intellect. Pay attention to what I have to say. Don’t disregard my opinion but feel free to disagree. There’s a difference.
Re: Your partner and their views.
achha…if he disagrees a lot…would it be still considered disagreement or disregard of your opinion?? 
Re: Your partner and their views.
If he disagrees just for the sake of disagreeing i.e. disregarding my opinion because hey what do I know, he won’t be getting no garam garam khana. 
If he disagrees because of a valid reason, because he has a different way of looking at the situation, I’d respect his views, perhaps even agree with him if he’s right.
Re: Your partner and their views.
If he disagrees because of a valid reason
but who is the judge of validity of his reason??
Re: Your partner and their views.
B&D sweets :k: lol.
Re: Your partner and their views.
but the judge of validity is you...isn't it??
No it's common sense.
