I'd have no problem with 2-3
My only concern would be surrounding legalities which I would want under control , also everybody would need to be comfortable with it..

I do not want conflict , hate that sht.

Anything beyond 2 , that part gets difficult , jealousy would need to be under control.

Q. Do you know what bigamy is? A. It’s having one wife too many. Q. Do you know what monogamy is? A. It’s the same thing!

I am already married to my wife and if it were legal I would marry my boyfriend as well. We already work as one unit when it comes to the house and the kids so why not marry both?

I never understood why polygamy is illegal anyway. Just false morality at play I suppose.

Ugh… yikes. A person already has enough trouble managing ONE relationship with ONE person properly… why would you want to multiply the problem? Smh. It’s too complicated. ❌❌❌

Finchie40 · Answer

Still one, one girl usually has 52 personalities so 1 is more than enough 😂

ohsheeT · Answer

Im a 1 women at a time guy  Love is to beautiful is to special is to unique to experience it all with more than one person

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

One is too many. The marriage, divorce and child custody laws would have to change dramatically before i would even consider marriage.

gasman70 · Answer

its not about the amount of partners its about how many people do you need in your life to feel whole. If it's one person, then youve found the best, the top of the pyramid, because believe it or not, love of one is the strongest. I'm not saying you have to love one person for your entire life, I'm simply saying one love at a time is the biggest feeling, because after that, it's simply dividing your love, your time, your resources, your attention, your ability to be sane, your ability to be emotionally connected. It all costs you, no matter what anyone says, because that is simple arithmetic and biology. That is how we are wired. Men can handle the harem better than women simply because we separate sex from love. So, for men, the idea of multiple partners isn't about having love its about feeding the ego, especially after 2. Because everyone needs, and the neediness is what you'll eventually realize is the thing that bogs down the reality from the fantasy.

RavVid · Answer

I think Islam decided 4 was best as
1 can cold shoulder you and make your life bad
2 will just gang up on you and make life.
3 will split and two will gang up on the other and there will always be domestic politics that will make you life bad. One of them will be trying to balance it out by giving the best sex however
4 will split into two teams and that will be as close as you get to domestic harmony.

Melody90 · Answer

I find polygamy disgusting, and I would never want to share my partner or be in a relationship where one person has multiple spouses. I believe marriage should be based on mutual love, loyalty, exclusivity, and commitment between two people.

rose_noire · Answer

One.

Loving one person well is already a full time art. Listening well, showing up well, staying kind when it's hard.

More would be more love in theory, but less depth in practice. I'd rather go deep with one than thin with many.

NathanDavis · Answer

if it were legal... none extra, still the one now, if it were the norm and everyone did it... I would go with 9... as that's my favorite number

MrChinaski · Answer

Polyamory is legal so long as you don't claim it is legally a marriage. What matters too me is quality of human connection, not quantity.

BadApple69 · Answer

I would do 2 or 3.  Having 2 women to cook dinner and clean the house would be great! (Yes I was trying to piss off the feminists).

I would choose two husbands. I can keep two husbands satisfied, and I need money from both.

Two, wouldn't have more time to spend than that I think. The wife and I were in a theoupr once and we've been chasing that high ever since.

mrkdvsn · Answer

Here in the real world, my Christian values mandate that only one spouse is permissible. But in a fantasy world, I might choose 2 or 3

I'll never undestand polygamy. One woman telling you all you're doing wrong is enough. Why would you want to double or triple that?😆
