I'm a married man and father. I've been on here for a year now (half lurking, half member). GAW has become my primary news source thanks to all the researchers and experts in so many areas, in addition to the family-like community.
My wife is a conservative and 45-supporter 100%, but also what I'd consider not fully awake.
I don't think I'm a "conspiracy theorist." I do believe recent events are orchestrated. 9/11 has question marks. Fires intentionally set. Voter fraud is rampant worldwide. Vaccines causing more harm than good. The "pandemic." Public schools serving as indoctrination camps. Etc. Stuff everyone here would likely agree with.
So, despite my wife being uber conservative, when I share a lot of these perspectives with her, I get the "OK, ________" response in a sarcastic tone, like I'm taking it over the top, making a wild and ludicrous claim.
So, I'm curious to hear from other anons willing to share if they have similar experience in this regard with a spouse or fiance or girlfriend, and if so, how to help guide them to their own awakening not influenced by "hubby told me so".
I would like to hear from any married women too, especially if your husband was able to influence your awakening in any way.
My wife and I were, a few years ago, both associated with a major University, an epicenter of propaganda. I no longer am (how could I be?). She still is. She is constantly being fed the "woke" and communist narrative. When I was first beginning to realize that we live in The Matrix, I couldn't stop trying to red-pill her. She came to almost hate me. She threatened to leave me often, proclaiming that the person she loved was gone; she had "lost me to conspiracy theories."
It wasn't that I had changed all that much in my views. For example, I've always been against the "wokeness" campaign that was raging through the campus. I recognized it as some sort of "strange social brainwashing thing," even though I thought it was organic at the time. But I was a lot more easy going about it before. Then, upon awakening, I realized it was an actual contrived step designed to lead us to our doom. I began to fight against it with her, trying to get her to see that it was contrived, along with all the other brainwashing things I saw.
I fought with her over the vaccine, tooth and nail, but during the battle I realized she had to make her own decisions. That was a part of my awakening as well. Each person is Sovereign; they are the Ultimate Authority in their own life. That MUST BE respected, 100%, all of the time. This helped me come to another realization. Her awakening, if it comes, must come on her own terms. It doesn't matter if she understands that we live in an illusory world. She will either come to appreciate it, or she won't. It's her life. It's my job to help her live her best life. That means appreciating wherever she is in her life at any one moment. I don't need her to believe anything.
Having said that, if the vaccine comes up again, I am going to force her to read everything (I already did, but it didn't work before. I have a whole lot more ammunition now though). Outside of something that is literally death in a syringe however, I'm done with trying to get her to see. If the Q plan works, and is at it suggests it is, she will see. She already does see quite a bit. She even told me a couple weeks ago (I'm paraphrasing), "Maybe there is a conspiracy that is trying to take over the world, I don't care. I'm going to pretend that there isn't, because it makes me feel better."
It's not necessarily the most enlightened view ever, but we live in BLUE PILL CENTRAL, inundated with propaganda all day long, every day, and she is still seeing and admitting that the world is not what it pretends, even if she is still afraid to investigate it herself.
My advice is, don't worry about it. If the Q plan works, it's gonna work out just fine. You do you. Let your wife be herself. She doesn't need to believe anything. Just help her live her best life within the framework of what she has and is right now.
Appreciate your comments, all spot on, and oddly enough, my wife works in higher ed (college) too.
Oh, I commented to you above to get unplugged together for a week, seeing this I'd double down!
Also, in the college atmosphere they are very trained to the "appeal to authority" logical fallacy. Provide another authority- this worked for me with my mom, who also worked at a university. I got subscriptions to The Epoch Times. Seeing something in a newspaper somehow breaks through their wall in a way that us just telling them cannot.
LOL!!! Fortunately, its not that bad tho...not a lib epicenter with wokeness all around. She'd never be able to work in that environment.
