Just got 2nd postcard in which it is mentioned that boyfriend was "blessedly wonderful."

    This is one of my non-negotiables.
meh.

So how about this idea: Don't make a big deal out of it. My grandfather stated firmly, "Love is usually not based on common mentalities and similarity of religious and social ideologies."

S/O will gradually get more educated through life experience and perhaps personal interest. Many men don't really get "women's" issues. A lot of their ideology is just ignorant babbling.

Chances are, more likely, that this is just the tip of the iceberg and one day you'll move on to someone who shares more ideology with you.
