Would You Marry a Moslem Despite the Fact that He's Legally Allowed to Marry 4X?

I've worked for years in UAE and I've met and mingled with I'd say gorgeous Moslem Arabs. There were a few occassions when I had a fling with some who are really cute, not to mention generous, ones. But only flings. I did put some conscious effort on not falling deeply as I wouldn't want to be "just one of the four wives". I know my self to be a jealous person and I have a tendency to get paranoid if I sense "something fishy". However, there was this one Moslem Arab guy who's drop-dead-gorgeous..tall, dark, handsome [and all of the above : )] who was really aggressive in courting me. Even my coleagues envy me when they knew that this guy was interested in me. The thought of him and I having a special relationship really thrilled me but then after a couple of dates I turned him down. I mean I could go on having a fling with him like with the others but this particular guy was so great that I knew I could just fall so deeply and madly in love with him. That I could just forget any virtue or principle which I have if that's what it takes to be with him. But knowing that it is next to impossible for me to be "the only wife" he could ever have, in fact he's already married when we met, made me realize that getting seriously involved with a Moslem Arab is not for me. It saddened me terribly to let him go but I told my self it's better to end it when the feeling is still not that intense. Otherwise I might just fall deeply that I wouldn't know how to get out from it later. If you were in my situation, would you have done the same or would you not care at all to be one of the "fantastic four" as long as he comes home to you, which would be most likely once (or twice if you're lucky) in a week as he would have to divide his time and attention to the rest of the wives? I know that not all Moslem men "enjoy" this privilege but what if your guy would choose to make the most of his "religious benefits"?
