WTF is wrong with polygamy?

Why is it illegal? How is it immoral? Why are we being governed by outdated Christian guidelines when there is supposed to be separation of church and state?

What exactly is stopping you from being with multiple women?

Nothing. Honestly I fear marriage not for the commitment, settling down, or having kids but because I don't think I can love some chick for 20+ years, it's unnatural.

From a legal standpoint I don't really think there's anything wrong with it. I just don't understand why one of the multiple wives (or husbands) in the relationship would want to be part of it. JML897

Because more often than not they turn into cases of abuse.

It creates a sexual imbalance in socioty.

Oh yes.

There are quite a few things wrong with it actually, that I can see.

It varies on a case by case basis, I suppose.

I have no problem with stuff like orgies.

I don't think it's unnatural at all. It may feel that way to you, but not to many people.

I'd be jealous as fvck, but if everyone involved is okay with it, whatever. Go for it.

My take on it is this- If you can't be happy with one person, don't bother being in "relationships." You obviously have issues that need to be dealt with before involving yourself intimately with anyone else.

Yup. It's historically gone hand in hand with misogyny and/or incest.

Doesn't matter if I'm male or female, I wouldn't share in either case.

I wasn't thinking of the legal side at all though.I think for polygamy it would have to be a strict "you leave with what you came with" rule for divorce to work at all.

Our culture says it's wrong therefore it is wrong.

Why don't you ask women? They have as much right to a happy marriage as anyone, more in some cases. That's actually a solid consideration that should guide most of the decisions we make as men. If that's missing, you are really going wrong in ANY relationship, so long as legality is not crossed of course and with other obvious exceptions. They're outstanding people by and large and marriage was always meant to be an equality.

Why don't you ask women? They have as much right to a happy marriage as anyone, more in some cases. I think that consideration alone is a solid argument against it. They deserve the best in life.

You can bash my input on the subject, but what I said isn't just my opinion. It's based on a discussion that I had with a professionally licensed relationship counselor that I see regularly. People have a tendency to think that they are "different," and can make up their own relationship rules and roles. The fact is that humans are set up to work best a certain way. You can't deny that the fewer people are involved in a "relationship," the less drama you are likely to have. The same is true for people who cheat on their significant others and think that it doesn't affect their relationship or their partner. It affects the way that they treat their partner, so of course it affects the whole relationship. Not to mention the utter lack of integrity which is shown, something which is inexcusable.

Why don't you try out polygamy for yourself and find out the answer.

I just don't get the point of polygamy. Why even get married at all? Or why not get married and then just have an open relationship? Maybe I'm just missing something (outside of religious reasons).

I don't personally see a problem with it, though, if it is what all parties involved want. I'd never be able to be a part of one, though.

Come to think of it guys who support polygamy tend to forget about polyandry. How would you feel if your partner brought in another male?

I don't think there is anything wrong with, and being a Muslim its ok for me to marry up to 4 wives. BUT, on a personal level, I can see some benefits in it, but I'd much rather be with one and only one, I'm not fond of the idea.GazaAli

[QUOTE="Deihjan"]Well, would you honestly have more than one wife nagging you to mow the lawn, or two women saying they have a headache? Religion aside, I personally wouldn't want to be married to more than one person at the same time. It's the same reason I wouldn't date two people at the same time, it feels like it's cheating and it would be very time and money consuming...GazaAli

Make me wear a collar and we can talk about submissive behaviour ;3

there is nothing stopping you from having a relationship with 2 women, you can marry one and still have the other one also. Loop holes homie
