Having problem with Teahadist partner

8. Remember you may need him BUT he needs you also. I would be upfront with him

and tell him when it comes to politics the work place is off limits to this kind of discussion. Tell him you aren't interested in anyone's position when you are at work. I don't know what kind of business your in but if you have to deal with the public then this should be a no brainier and tell him that. Let him know that some of your customers wouldn't like to know how he feels and you would rather leave your politics at home and not work. If he continues walk away from him and let him know that again you don't want to hear it. If he doesn't listen then maybe you can buy him out or he can buy you out. Tell him politics is effecting your relationship. You don't have to tell him how you vote. Just tell him you don't want to hear about politics at work anymore. Be firm. I know in my family we finally established when we get together for holiday a politics free zone. It works out so much better that way and we all have fun. Before we all would get into fights about politics. It works you just have to hold your ground.
