OT: but curious... Sister Wives?

[Momo1409]

Ok I know this show is all bout their faith and religion so I don't want this becoming an overly heated discussion but I'm genuinely curious.


I don't know how many of you ladies get time to watch TV or even have cable or etc. But those that do. On TLC there is a new show called Sister Wives. Its bout a man who has 3 wives (just saw a news thing saying that after 16yrs of 3 he just married his 4th) and 16 children I think.

I'm curious on ur guys thoughts on this? Would you watch? I am just bc I'm curious how the women do it! I'm such a jealous woman sometimes I could never stand knowing my man was with another woman 3 doors down. Lol. I get mad thinking of his exs. Anyway ya just wanted some thoughts!

Lol 5n1 ik when she said that I'm like WHAT! But it does make sense kinda bc the 1st will feel like the 2nd is intruding on her marriage etc. But a 3rd well maybe that's his getaway from all the first 2s drama? Idk. They all seem like friends but I'm sorry I am not friends with ppl who have slept with my man!

What's crazy is the older kids like it! plus they go to a pologomist school. But they said they can be whatever they want! Ur not giving them a choice! HELLO! Sorry my rant there.....

Anyway I liked it. Very informative.... And I agree with DarkRaven I'm a totally anthropology nut! :)

Okay so I was finishing typing that last post, one of the wives said that if you are married to 2 wives and having problems, marry a 3rd...WHOA thats just insane...if ya cant handle the 2 ya got why add another to the problem? hehe

Oh my that show is on now...its funny I had never heard of it before, but once I saw this, I had to look for it...I could not imagine, I too am a jealous person. But, that aside, I would never do it..I have to agree with Joy on this one...Sorry I am not trying to offend anyone...I believe everyone has the own views and opinions, and I do not judge anyone..But, I am a woman of God, so that being said it is against my morals...

But, these women are brave, I could not, could not do it lol...I think I would go mad knowing I have to share my husband, and be friends, and co-parent with these other women lol

Yea, it really does depend on how they were brought up. A woman brought up jn the western world would see it as abhorring! But in Africa, some communities see it as some sort of tradition, and no matter how peaceful and accepting these women may seem, there is always trouble!! There will be someone amongst the women, who wouldnt like the idea, but dont have a chioce because its the way they see other people do it. It reminds me of slavery, and no matter how mildly it is put, that's what it is (to me anyway)..

A bit off topic but same conslusion!

that reminds me i was watchin  a documentary a few months ago and it was culture when a girl turns 16 she becomes a women she stands in the middles of the crowd and they all rip her hair out! and then her new hair make her sorta born into womanhood if that makes sense! its soo sad but again she knows no other way she did not complain once!
