To me a marriage is one man, one woman (not multiple of either!) plus like many others I would be waaaay too jealous! I would almost feel like I am always being judged and compared to the other partner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421781 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:41:32 +0000 Honeybee 421781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate to admit it but I think I'm too controlling. It's taken me the better part of decade to let go and let DH take charge sometimes, so I can't imagine how long it would take me to get that point with new partners. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421778 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:40:59 +0000 yoursilverlining 421778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I'm not jealous and the "sharing" my husband part doesn't really bother me, but I don't want another adult living in my home and helping to parent LO. I wouldn't mind a set-up like that if it were really equal; but it rarely seems to work out that way.</p> <p>I wouldn't mind having a sister-wife who lived down the street but did all my cleaning and laundry for me!! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421765 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:36:54 +0000 Bookish 421765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, no way. I'm a very jealous woman, and to share my man? oh hells no. And I hated having roommates in college, I don't think I'd like them now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421760 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:35:20 +0000 kml636 421760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once I get multiple husbands,maybe lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421628 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:32:45 +0000 Beyond2 421628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: Haha yeah that side of the equation would probably be harder to work out than the male side! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421616 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:29:37 +0000 Chillybear 421616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think i'd rather clone myself like that michael keaton movie "multiplicity" - One me to go to work, one me to keep house and one me to do fun things </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421608 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:27:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 421608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that show! I could never share my husband though. He is mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421597 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:25:10 +0000 Arden 421597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: Very true, but I doubt it would be harder than finding the exact right group of wives that get along... lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421583 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:20:46 +0000 Adira 421583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I like @Arden's idea!</p> <p>I definitely am too needy/possessive to be able to stomach the idea of Hubs having another spouse. Although part of me would TOTALLY LOVE IT because I definitely need help around the house AND I'm not in the mood nearly as often as Hubs is. If there were a couple more of us to share the load, he'd probably be happier and so would I! BUT I think I'd go crazy thinking about whether he liked Wife #2 more than me or what-not, and it just wouldn't work out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421577 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:19:10 +0000 Beyond2 421577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: That's a really cool idea, but you'd definitely need to find the exact right group of couples for that to work out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421571 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:17:18 +0000 Arden 421571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would rather have a two or three couple family. Like several families living in the same home, helping each other out, but no sexual aspect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421568 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:16:44 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 421568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be wayyy to jealous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421564 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:14:58 +0000 prettylizy 421564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think having multiple partners to raise my child could be awesome (you know the whole it takes a village thing) but I would not be okay with DH having another spouse. I'm not jealous as much as I'm needy! lol! I barely see him as it is, I wouldn't want to split that time with anyone else. And he would hate only seeing DD every few days too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421562 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:14:16 +0000 loveisstrange 421562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am WAY too jealous for that. lol. I could see the benefit of it in some situations though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sister-wives#post-421557 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:12:11 +0000 Beyond2 421557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started watching sister wives on Netflix. I actually think if I could get over the jealousy aspect, having sister wives would be an awesome idea! I like how on the show one of the wives is very domestic and stays home with the kids while some of the others work because they want a career. It's kind of a neat idea! Could you get on board with the idea of a poly relationship? </p>
