Q: Would you want more than 1 wife ?

As I under stand it 

up to not that long ago a man could have more than 1 wife.

I have enough trouble with 1 why the hell would I want to dig a bigger hole?

But some men still to this day do this 

even in the USA some dopy Bugger has more than one ball and chain 

and his own tribe of rug rats running about the place

Why would anybody of sound mind do this to themselves?

So if they changed the rules back ,

would you have more than one wife?

and girls so you don't feel left out ,

how would you feel about it?

All living in the same house? That would be foolish! Too easy for them to gang up on you. Maybe if they do not live togetherthat might be easier to manage.  You know, divide and conquer...

Yeah

Good luck with that Theory

On the other hand

when the girls see this I'm sure I will be cowering under the mouse pad

I would like to have two wives and all living together, but I don't it's possible, not in our culture or in China. I find it hard enough just trying to figure out any one woman. I was talking to a man from Kenya on a plane last week and he said he had two wives. I said I would like that, and asked how do they get along. He said they know about each other but live in separate homes. It is an accepted way of life there. He was working on wife number three and four and that would be enough. This may work, stay away from them until they become rational and miss you, just stay with one until you can;t take it, then leave for awhile..

TedDBayer:

Since some feminist nutzi gave me a negative, what happens when the old one gets TOO FAT, but you still kinda like her but want a nicer looking one, one that still TRIES to look good. Well getting a second wife is normal in many countries.

Having just finished 2 months of juggling 4 women I can say with certainty that I would never never never want this or even wish it on my worse enemy.

Fortunately for me none of them ever met each other but if they had it would have been ugly.

Now after only one week of living with my gf I feel like I am married and the relationship has taken a 180 turn.  I am having enough trouble with one now....if I had to deal with more than 1 I would either drink myself to death or drop dead from a stroke.

This is a fair question. 

And just like you guys would be foolish to have more than one wife, we would be equally, if not more so, foolish to have more than one husband. You guys are no walk in the park either Smile

As far as being in a polygamous relationship... no thank you. It isn't for me. I don't share very well. Sure, I'll let others play with my legos, or my barbies and gi joes, or my etch a sketch. But nobody plays with my man but me Smile

 I do respect that some chose to do that, even if it is illegal. You love who you love, and can't always help it. As long as it is consenting ADULTS and not a child forced into an arranged marriage.

I don't really see a problem with it. I'm the type of person who doesn't need to have a guy around all the time. Then at least I'd know where he is...? However, there would have to be certain rules in place:

 

I am the first wife.

When he begins dating another woman, he must tell her that he is already married.

He will introduce her to me.

We don't have to be good friends, but we have to be able to get along.

She will have to live in her own place, not my house.

He must not lie to her or to me.

I have the right to veto it at any time, whether for a good reason or just because I don't like her, it doesn't matter.

He will continue to treat me as well as he did before, and treat her just as well.

 

As you can see, it is a lot to consider, and as those have said above, can easily cause headaches. A relationship needs communication. I understand that some guys/girls can't stand to live with or love only one person. Since it is marriage and not just a casual relationship, they would need to be responsible for their actions, as well as the well being of the other two people. I'd be especially happy if the other woman would like to cook and clean, since I'm kind of lazy...just saying.

i always get some good information from you and some good tips about every thing ......i have to say RESPECT FOR YA ........thumbs up fr ya

Before I met my wife, the idea of multiple wives was... attractive. Then I got married and I'd rather kill myself than marry another woman. We're madly in love, and I don't want her to share me.

 

That's coming a long way, since I almost had a threesome with my ex and her mom.

I was more shocked when I learned that Americans get married in every Asian country as long as they're nott married in the U.S.. that's crazy

Hulk:

You can legally do that, but most countries won't recognize all of your wives.

That's because they never tell Example: Japan they married in Korea. They just sign and take that sheet to go get married married. The U.S can only keep a track record of you marriages in the U.S., not aboard, so unless there's some new Asia marriage announcement system there'll be more fools going around saying: I Do.

It exists in China, for women that is.

 

Tibet women traditionally marry all the brothers from another family.

I would not want more than one wife.  I would settle for one concubine. And I would let her know I was married.  I would do this only if I could afford it.

I believe it is already common practice here in China. The additional wives have a special name "mistress". I believe they exist in all countries.

I say again, 3 is the right #, one will always be on your "side", while the other 2 bicker.
