I (48M) think that I may have F'd up. My wife (58F) blamed something on the "woke" and I told her that I felt myself as "woke' because I accept the LGBTQI demographic, and that I accept anyone regardless of race, creed, religion, or sexuality.
Needless to say we had an argument, first in a good half dozen years or so.
I love her with all myself, but feel that she's becoming more, I don't know exactly, but it feels like she's become more racist, homophobic and unaccepting in the last few years. I reckon that it all started with the Johnny Debb v Amber Herd trial. And now she's watching YouTube videos of Tarot card readers predicting the Sussexes future.
It was cool and all when she watched "ghost" videos, but now she can't even really accept that one of her BFFs from years ago is/was gay. "Just another person to help her get through her life at the time".I'm scarred that because I feel that I'm "woke" to the world around me and acceptant of those that aren't accepted, that I fucked up our relationship. It hurts.
TL:DR My wife blamed "wokeness" on the worlds problems and I told her that I feel that I'm part of those that are "woke".
Edit: Thank you all for the kind words, and some of the not so kind words. For those that say time to start anew, no, I won't. Like I said, I love my wife severely, and after 24 years starting over is not an option. I'll definitely be looking at having a chat with her regarding some of the stuff she's been fed via YT, as she has been going down a rabbit hole as of late. Thankfully she hasn't fallen onto a flat earth or stopped believing that Australia's real, kinda hard on that last one as we live in Australia.
I haven't been able to read all the comments, but I am slowly going through them and up or down voting depending on the advise. Again, thank you all for your concern and advise.
She’s racist and 10 years older than you. Cut your losses man while you’re still young because she’s not going to learn, no way.

Truth. Can't believe people even pride themselves for being "woke". If anything, that means they listen to and believe everything they are fed by the mainstream media and government.
