Now that former president Donald Trump has won the 2024 election, we want to hear from you again. If you're someone who votes differently than your partner, how are you processing the results of this election?

Maybe you're feeling some tough feelings about how another Trump presidency might affect your life, but your partner is on cloud nine. Seeing someone close to you react so differently to this news is adding an extra layer of hurt for you.

Or perhaps you've long had an agreement that you simply don't discuss politics with your partner, so you're talking through your reactions with like-minded friends and loved ones instead.

Or maybe you didn't realize your partner's views had shifted so much until the results came in. Now, you're re-evaluating everything and asking hard questions about the future of your relationship.
