Along the way, we are taught that "Love is Blind". Do you believe? We all believe it. Love is not belong only to young man/girl. Love is not belong only to single man/girl. Love also belong to married man/woman. That is why we are often hearing about "love affairs" that involve married man and a single lady. Fall in love for a second time is not forbidden. It's ok, as long as you can manage it properly. Young lady also shows no objection to be loved by married man. Most of them even give nod when her man ask her to be his second wife. Believe it or not, it is a hard truth, a woman even sees no choice but to become second wife to her loved man. In connected with this issue, there is an adagium: "Man with two wives tend to lie his two women; "But man with only one wife basically lie to himself". Believe it or not, it is popular trend that cannot stopped easily.

LOL, hehehe So sorry to make you get confused about adagium. It seems you are so young to understand men world. That adagium is a hard truth, a real condition. Man with two wives tends to lie his two wives. But man with just one wife basically lie to himself. I do mean "lie to himself" .....is most men basically have hidden wishes to have more wives. Once he sees open opportunity to make his dream come true, and he has financial ability to support his wish, then it is a matter of time before he marries his second woman.But as I said, most men has no brainer to make their wishes come true, especially if it involves second marriages, though they wish to do it.

You know, you seem to have two different idea in your post. But I will respond to both. First of all, you asked whether others believe that love is blind. Well, here's my answer to hat: Love is not blind, lovers can see but they just don't mind. Lovers see the flaws of each other, they see the bad and the good. But because of love, all those flaws are forgotten and accepted. They accept with open hearts that the person they love is far from being perfect, yet the love that doesn't dampen their love. In short and simple language, I do not believe that love is blind. Second, you said that it is ok for a man to have many wives. It is ok in religions and customs that permit such practices. But for a lot of women, being the only one is what matters most. You see, I'm christian and I absolutely abhor multiple marriages. My religion values the sanctity of marriage and being married to only one person and he/she can only remarry if the spouse has passed away or if they are permitted to be marry again.

I am glad you are a devoted christian. But I dont understand when my neighbour -- he is christian too -- gets his second marriage. His wife knows this but no action is taken. Instead of getting quarrel with her huby, she prefers to do the sama thing -- make affair-- with other man.

It's just a starting point, Sir. They should take futher action to make their love-affair become the path toward a happy marriage. Most women believe in love with clear commitment toward happy endings. Without commitment, then love will take you to nowhere, but unclear destination. That is why most women have their deepest respect to men with strong commitments.

Yeah i agree iwth you in some ways. I do know few ppl who did a second marriage, and interestingly, it is for money! The man is hugely rich and she is happy with money only, he stays half of the time with her and half of the time woth the other wife. I just asked one, whom i know, is it okay that you share ur husband? And she replies, i donno, but he can give me what ever i want! May be, there r some ppl marrying for love a second time, but if its love there is gotta be jealousy and that family is never outta quarrels. I dont agree with what you said, its okay if he manages it properly. Manage what properly? How he love two poeple? If he does, then thats not love.

"It's okay if he manages it properly"...I mean manage the two wives; or manage the two households/families. In some case, two wives are not enough for certain man, especially those who has financial ability to support his newly-wed wives.Believe it or not, I saw a man with 4 wives, and they live peacefully, without quarrels. His 4th wife is 20 years younger than his'. This macho man manages his 4 wives properly, all of them has their own houses, and also has their own business activities that are provided by their husband. You see, he treats his four wives fairly, equally, and without descrimination. All of his four wives even say theylive in happy mariage.

I don't believe that love is blind. Love doesn't blind our "eyes"; it gives us a better perception about the person or people whom we love. Love binds us with our sense of morality and it doesn't hurt others. We see the true person when we are in love. Love helps us to transcend the physical beauty and see the soul behind the person.

Well love is blind because when your in love you can't see the mistake of your partner, because your in love with her/him you will accept her/him shortcomings... But in the other way around I don't think it is fair for us woman when your husband is having an affair with the other woman, for me love or "marriage" is just for the two people in love isn't? If you don't love your partner anymore then leave her/him, and that is the only time that you look for another....

shortcomings is always welcome; while mistake could be forgiven. I am now listening a popular song...."I will (always) like your shortcomings...."
