When couples compete over political engagement

My spouse and I are both politically engaged but we've started competing with each other about who's doing more 'real' activism and it's gotten ugly in ways that surprise us. We'll undermine each other's efforts or make passive-aggressive comments about the other person's approach and I can see we're becoming the kind of people we used to criticize.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two politically committed partners are unconsciously using their activism as a battlefield for deeper relationship dynamics, corrupting both their political work and their connection.
