How would you feel if your husband took on 3 more wives?

His reason for marrying the second, third, and fourth wives makes no sense to me either. Is he thinking this would put an end to jealousy? He's got them all living in the same house. I don't know how they put up with that. They don't look very happy. The thought of my husband taking on 3 more wives is just too weird. I sure wouldn't want any other wives in my house. There are families like that around here, I don't know if they're Muslims, but there are multiple wives. They all share the children, so the teachers never know who will show up at the parent/teacher meetings.

I wouldn't want my husband someday to have other wives...no way. I easily get jealous. I don't even want to think of getting in that situation.

Most boys I know cant handle one girl let alone four :P Four sets of nagging and jealousy! No way. Im not really the jealous type, but having your man shag another woman? Nah, that doesn't sound like love ot me, sounds like keeping your options open.

there is no way i can deal with this kind of situation, i couldn't share my husband to anybody, i would probably go balistic if someone will try to get my husband from me lol...

I just watched the video and it seems they are not upset or anything about sharing him with the others. I don't think jealousy is why he married the next 3 wives though, why would he do that to his first wife? but anyway I'm not a moslem so I won't share my husband with anyone else. I don't think he would allow it in my case too anyway.

I could never accept sharing my partner with another woman, let alone another 3. Personally I find the idea unacceptable. Also, I feel that it is actually quite impossible for anyone to be able to treat all his wives equally. Somehow one or two would be favoured over the others.

i will surely leave my husband when he decides to have another wife another than me. worst, more wives other than me. just thinking about it makes me feel sick! a man can't even spend much time with his one wife due to many obligations in life. and getting others to take care of? saying sharing EQUAL time for all of them? that's so impossible. just seeing the video, i looked at the wife and they look so miserable. i don't think they are happy. they really don't look happy in the first place. sad why men do this to women and why women allow men to do this to them... anne

I know many poly families, although the ones I know are not in these relationships for religious reasons. My friends are couples who have chosen for various reasons to open their relationship to other partners & some have also blended their households & families to create a new combined/blended family. If it is because both parties in a relationship wish to live this way, than I absolutely accept that & think it can be a great thing. If one partner, my guess is that it's usually the husband, is forcing the other to agree to this it's unacceptable.

its pretty unusual thing to share your love with more than one women. I mean how is it possible. They may be marying for pleasures of body, may be not sure about it, but what is the reason to get married to more than one women? I simply dont find a reason, if you think that the one you have doesnt fulfill your every need, or say is not of our type, then find another, if she also turns out to be unsatisfactory then find another, and so on till you get the one of your type?? then let me tell that this circle and such kind of search will never end. The essence of marriage is that you try to find peace and adjust with the one whom you have got. Nobody is perfect and you have to do some adjustments. If you marry more than one women,how much adjustments are you going to do, and it will be morally unacceptable for a women that her husband is shared amongst many... this is simply ridiculous!

It don't make any sense to me as well Kim of what this man is doing. He is like collecting toys for himself just to use it whenever he wants to, and jump to another toy again for him to play with. I pity those ladies but I believe they know themselves as well what they're doing isn't just right at all...or maybe then they will just go along with their cultural traditions that is why they're facing such a confusing path in their lives, so to speak.

I would want to have him take another wife than to cheat on me. In a relationship, we must admit that we could not give everything that our partner wants, there are always flaws. To counter these flaws, Men seek women who can cover up these flaws. That is why cheating is rampant nowadays. So, for me, it would be much better knowing your rival.

this used to be very acceptable hundreds of years ago.. men had reasons then.. these days I see no reaon for them to do that.. and if he thinks that life is impossible with his wife and he wants another then he can get divorce..

that was insane... i didn't know it was that way i thought they were forced to be like that.. .L0L

He must be pathetic. THere is no love when you have four wives. No emotion whatsoever. Its as if all he cares about is the horizontal hockey pokey! people should stick to having one spouse. its the right thing. If you want someone else and have change of heart, fine, you can separate. But have the courtesy and decency please.

i don't think i can handle it if my husband has four wives... anyway, i am lucky because he always tell me that he only wants to have one wife and that is me... he won't love any other woman and it is a sin to that in our religion... Christianity only allowed one life-partner for life and it is stated in the Bible...

its inhuman

No- No- No- Mine won't even dream of it! I can't even imagine what it must feel like for those women. My stuff is my stuff! I'm running a bit behind, will check it out tomorrow and report back:)

I can honestly say that I would not stay in a relationship where there were 'additional" wives, girlfriends or whatever...perhaps those raised in cultures where this is the standard can understand it...I can not and would not...it is not in my scope of understanding or desire...I believe in one man and one woman sharing a life together...any more adults in the relationship and I would extract myself!!! My humble narrow opinion!!

It's all a lie. Don't believe it. I don't want to get involved in religious politics, but you can easily find out for yourself that this is a lie.

Oi - ok the reason he gives for the multiple wives is rediculous. No way does that make any sense. That said - I do believe that it is possible for people to have relationships with more than just 2 people. Five people is pushing it in my mind but 3 or 4 I can see working if they ALL like each other. With my current boyfriend (going on 3 yrs living together) I don't think he would be able to take care of another woman. Much less 4. And I know that he would get jealous if we brought another man in. He has trouble showing his affection just for me sometimes...he would surely lose his mind! lol Perhaps with another relationship though, I would be able to accept another person in the relationship. Again - it would have to be in a case where everyone enjoyed each others company. Polygamy and the likes aren't for everyone by any means. I was raised in a society around people who did not agree with such relationships. However, I do believe that love is endless and that there are always exceptions.
