A Black woman who is married to a white Trump supporter claims her marriage is on the verge of ruin due to her husband’s political affiliation. The woman, who goes by the username @GlassButterfly on Twitter, claims her husband is starting to hate her for nagging him about Trump.
In a since-deleted tweet, she wrote:
“My white Republican husband is starting to hate me because the longer we live through this administration the “BLACKER” I become. Any interracially and opposing politically affiliated couples going through this? Like… I have NO idea how to balance who we are..or are becoming”.
Her tweet was retweeted thousands of times before it was deleted. Some of her followers sympathized with her, while others suggested divorcing her husband. They say two things that don’t mix are oil and water and Black women married to white Trump supporters.
One Twitter user wrote:
“I’m of Japanese and European descent. I was married to a “man” like yours and NOTHING ever changed except that he got worse. Needless to say he’s LONG gone and my children and I are MUCH happier!!! Good luck!!”

He's not the greatest communicator…I'm left with just my feelings. I love him…I know he loves me and for the black delegation with all the hate spewing…shame on you and I'll be praying goodness eventually find your heart. This world is filled with too much hate already!
