Do you think my husband should go vote with his parents?

My husband and I have been married for 5 months. Still registered to vote where his parents live. His Dad called to see if he wanted to vote. He can easily change his registration card to where he lives now. The reason it bothers me because they live 45 min away and that is a waste of gas. He didn't ask if I wanted vote with him. So what do you think?

no i think he should vote with you. if he really wants to vote with his parents then he should take you as well. call him on it tell him you are his wife and he needs to think of you first. He probably hasnt got used to it so just tell him nicely that those are imporant events in your lives and you want to share it with him.

You have to put in a change of address 30 before the election.

I really don't see the big deal. Yes it's 45 min., but he's spending time with his family, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I think its no big deal where he votes or with whom as long as he votes! Let him go spend the day with his parents, maybe they miss him. It's really not that big of a deal.

He should have done it by absentee voter. You can't vote where he votes unless you are registered there, so why would he ask you.

You are picking a stupid fight with your husband over nothing. Now that you are married you need to pick and choose your battles carefully and let the little things go, like him voting with his parents.

5 months and you are already controlling him.

I can't believe most of you women.

No wonder the divorce rate is what it is.


Bet you told him who to vote for too.

I think you are trying to control him too much. Let him do what he wants to do.

Why can't he vote by himself or with you? But it doesn't sound like that big of a deal... I wouldn't stress over it.

since it's so close to election the 45 minute drive will be worth it. Don't feel sad that he didnt ask you. there is no need to be jelous of his parents voting with him, now if it were his ex girlfriend who called and asked then you'd ave a problem. :-)

Let him do whatever he wants... dont let it bother you.

I think it's great that you are both voting! He should change is registration to where you live and vote with you. If it's not a big deal to him, he shouldn't have a problem doing this. Maybe after you vote, you and he can go visit his dad together.

It's too late to change your address to vote for this election, considering it's in 2 weeks. He'll have to go vote where he used to live and fix his address after-wards.

Honestly, I think you are jealous of your husbands parents.
You are about to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Don't be that way Joel -
Nothing is better then a big loving family.

I have one daughter-in-law that could have wrote this question & she is impossible to please. I have 2 other daughter-in-laws that treat me like a Mother & I love them like daughters. I also have 2 daughters & wonderful son-in-laws.
When we have family gatherings on special occasions, my youngest son & wife always have other plans. They never call any of us,or visit. We have all been so good to them. She appreciates nothing.
My son was always so close to Dad & I. It's very strange. One day he may resent his wife over this. She may be bipolar, very moody.
We have did all we can & have prayed & turned it over to God.----

Its okay if he wants to vote with his parents. Take a visit out of it if it's 45 minutes away, then it wouldn't be a waste of gas. There are so many other things to get mad about. That's a minor thing. Stop stressing, there are too many more important issues regarding marriage. Your husband might rethink being married to you if you let something this minor upset you. Don't worry about it and enjoy being a newlywed.

Does hubby know that he's required to cast his vote in the district he resides in?

Seems alittle strange to go to this extreme. Why not just give Mom and Pop a ride to the polls instead?


LuvThosePurpleShoes
this is one of the most important elections in our nations history and something like a tank of gas or him asking weather or not you wanted to vote with him is not that serious!!! You cant vote with him anyhow... you go in the booth one at a time... Anyway since its too late to change the voters registration tell him to go vote by his parents and then change his registration to where you guys live.

The situation is not that serious, but what is serious is the result of people choosing not to vote at all!!!!

I don't really see what the problem is. It sounds like your in some competition thing with his parents??? WHY??? What difference does it make if he votes with them?? It's not like he's voting with an ex girlfriend or something?? Theres more things to worry about in this world, then if your husbands going to vote with his parents and not you??? Really>>>get over it.

mabey he should vote absentee!

Well, you should vote. And it may be too late to change your polling place. You may be able to vote in your new district, but you will have to fill out a provisional ballot and it will only count if the election is close in your state. You're best bet would be to vote in the place you are registered, since you did not re-register in your new district before the registration period ended.

Well, at the moment it is an issue that you cannot fix in a week and a half. Depending on the state, there is a different deadline but almost all have passed. For this year, he must go and vote there, and you must vote where you registered. Work on getting it changed for next time.
If yours is one of the state which allows change of addresses up to the day of the election, then speak with him and say that you would prefer that he not waste unnecessary gas. If he is set on going this year, try to figure out a compromise so that noone feels stomped on or unheard.
You have to vote where you are registered. He knows this and hence did not invite you so that you wouldn't feel pressured to waste over an hour and a half of your time if you didn't want to.

I haven't lived at home in sometime, but i still vote with my parents. I see nothing wrong with it and i'm married.

But my parents also live 10-15mins away so i see your point. I think the gas thing is pretty major, but it is to late to change now. Unless he does the mail in ballet.


General Custer
It's illegal so he shouldn't do it.


Old Kid
No, He needs to vote in his own precinct. He is violating the law and committing voter fraud.

i think he should vote where he lives. but you shouldn't make him.


The Wife
He should vote with you. My in laws think I am just the chick he's screwing and not anyone too important so they don't take me into consideration either. I know how you feel. I would tell him.

I'm pretty sure that it is too late to change your voter registration in any state, at this point. So, if your husband is going to vote, he'll need to go to his voting location... the same reason he didn't ask you to vote with him I would imagine. You can't just go vote anywhere. You need to go to your voting location where they have your name/address, etc.

Regardless of who you are voting for, this is a historic election. If you would like to go with your husband (before or after you vote at your proper location) then do it.

It may be past the deadline to register at your new address. You should both vote where you are registered right now and worry about changing after the election.

I don't think this would be an issue unless something else was going on here. I suspect you feel he chooses his parents over you with other things. If that's the case, get it worked out now, because it will destroy your marriage in time. This one incident of voting at his old location isn't a big deal. Choosing his parents over you is.


xenypoo
As long as he votes, that is a good thing, but leaving you out of the invitation in my opinion was wrong. He's not a Liberal, and you Conservative are you? It just seems to me that that is something a Liberal would do, since they like to throw things at Conservatives, scream at them, and try and stop other peoples freedom of speech, like they did to Condoleeza Rice, Karl Rove, and Jim Gilchrist, invited speakers to Columbia, and American Universities.

I say he should include you, since you are family now, and you need to make that clear to your husband, and your father-in-law. This is just not right, to be ignored and not included.

Stand-up, Hun, or they may never fully except you...and treat you like a second class side-step. DON'T let that happen if you want your marriage to last!
