Maybe a different religion, or especially political beliefs seems to be a big deal-breaker. Do you still find it worthwhile to keep them in your life?
I do. I have e.g. Christian Conservative friends, and Atheist Liberal ones, etc. I enjoy each one for what they are. I mean, nobody is perfect! (like me 😁)
Yes, I’m a pretty right leaning guy. I have a long time friend who is a socialist, another friend who is apolitical, another who’s a gay liberal, and a wife who’s pretty centrist. Politics don’t stop people from having other interests in common.
