Woman separates from husband of 22 years because of disagreement over Trump

Gayle McCormick, a 73-year-old retired California prison guard, has separated from her husband of 22 years. She was stunned when her husband casually mentioned during a lunch with friends last year, that he planned to vote for Trump – a revelation she described as a “deal breaker.”

“It totally undid me that he could vote for Trump,” said McCormick, who felt “betrayed” by his husband’s support for Trump. “I felt like I had been fooling myself,” she said. “It opened up areas between us I had not faced before. 

.

.

I realized how far I had gone in my life to accept things I would have never accepted when I was younger. It really came down to the fact I needed to not be in a position where I had to argue my point of view 24/7.

I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life doing that.” McCormick went on to note that the two won’t be going through with a full divorce, but are maintaining separate residences.
