But how would you feel if each of those wives also had another husband or two?
This 💯
No, most people cannot handle the man or woman they love in the arms of another person. Some can handle it, some like it, but those people are in a minority and they're free to do what they want until they start telling everyone else that they're morons.
Omg, a blue anon being a blue anon. Is the sky still blue? *Gasp* It is!!!
Ugh, let me answer this for the zillionth time: marriage exists for those wanting to go into it. If you don't want one, don't get one. If you want multiple women, have multiple women wo are ok with that, and if you want to call them "wives", and they are ok with that, by all means, call them wives.
Don't go around complaining it's unfair and spoiling others' times.
I voted agree but obvs reverse the gender in my case. Sometimes it feels fair that I should be allowed to have a few boyfriends since I am usually the one who is better off and I'm more of a sexual person etc. But this isn't how society functions, unfortunately.
Most people ignore it these days anyway whether it's "offically" abolished or not. Either by simply refusing to be in a closed relationship (me) or cheating in a supposedly closed one. You'll probably have better luck trying to ban all marriages first, those have a head start at just 37% marriage rates and falling (with even the majority of those ending in divorce within 5-10 years).
Monogamy is a choice between two people.
Polygamy is a choice between several people.
Marriage is an institution and an agreement, between 2 people and the state.
So what you're reeeeally saying is that the state should license Polygamous marriage and offer you benefits as such. Feel free to make your case for why the states should recognize that marriage and give benefits. Go!
I personally believe all marriage should be illegal.
Jokes aside, polygamy should be just as fine as monogamy; so long as all people involved in the relationship give consent, there's nothing wrong with it. Nowadays, we have "sequential" polygamy, where people have multiple partners over a certain course, also known as whoring.
So because you don't want it means it should be abolished? Why?
Are you okay with your girlfriends and wives having multiple husbands and boyfriends?
Monogamy works for some but not for others. Finding like minded people may be hard but they are out there and open relationships exist.
I don't care what they do. I just want multiple... I could never be okay with just one woman.
So then find an open relationship or soemone who swings... they are out there and there are clubs once you are in a couple with someone who feels how you do. My best friend and her husband are in a relationship with another couple and they are planning to all live together once the kids are grown up. they keep it on the down low but their are lots of people who don't fall into the main stream.
I don't think monogamy should be abolished since I'm happy with it and I wouldn't want that choice to be taken away from me. I do think that polygamy should become acceptable though.
It's not oppressive. If you want to have multiple partners, just don't get married. Problem solved.
Well, if you think so, move to the middle east, see how much less oppressive it is
There is ZERO need to abolish any voluntary institution.
i don't think it needs to be abolished. i just think it should be more acceptable to not get married, esp for women. it's like you failed as a woman if you don't get validated via someone wanting to marry you.
Hell naw.. One woman would be more than enough for me.. Ion think I could handle more than that.. LOL..
So do you have these women lined up for this?
haha, love this opinion!
totally wish I would have though of it!
I could but they're indoctrinated to believe that monogamy is good when in fact it's quite terrible. But I have two friends that I could have a relationship with if I wanted to.
Well then jump on it? Why wait? I seriously doubt these women you speak of would do this. Unless they are two lesbians and just want a threesome.
sorry i can't share my girl with someone else and i am ok with fucking the same person everyvnight. monogamy is not oppressive and i don't mind you being in a polygamous relationship.
live and let live.
Dude try and get one girl to text you back first okay..
so you're saying all women should sluts and men have no respect for themselves and fk whoever they can get regardless of their girlfriend or wife?
fk off
Firmly disagree. However, I do agree that polygamy should be fully legalized, and that people should have the right to choose to have as few or as many spouses as they want.
Which is it? Do you disagree or agree?
