Seeing as we hold quite different views (he thinks I'm prejudiced on the subject, I think that he holds his views because he confuses the issues and has failed to do any proper research) and we end up screaming down the phone at each other. (We're in a LDR). Should we not discuss this at all? Are there some things that we shouldn't talk about? Otherwise we communicate really well...want to marry him and have his kids! Thanks :) Reply to this Question

 Just agree to disagree, whats the point in argueing over something you have absolutely no control over anyway.
If we all had the same opinions it would be a pretty dull world, talk about something you do agree on.
Take care.xx.

 people dont always have the same views and i think its good to talk about things you dont nesecserily agree on. I know its not the same but me and my best male friend have very different opinions on abortion and I used to get really mad at him when he wouldnt understand my view. But now we've learnt to talk about a subject, disagree on it and not fall out. all healthy relationships have disagreements, if you always thought the same it would be very boring!! learn from each others opinions and grow and become more open minded. good luck sweetie and mail me if you want to chat xx

 What you two need to do is understand that there is no way you'll agree on everything. You need to respect each other's points of view. That should prevent the screaming.
If the relationship works well in all other respects, and you even want to marry him and have his kids, why is this particular issue that important?
