Sister Wives, anyone else fascinated?

I'm with you Mel! I think if you compare those kids to the Duggars- the sister wives kids seem soooo much more well adjusted than the ultra-traditional family structure of the Duggars.

Edit- I'm wayyyy too selfish to ever share a man, but I have zero problem with consenting adults living like that. It's a shame that they get lumped in with the FLDS radicals with the child brides living on compounds being abused. It's like lumping regular Muslims with suicide bombers, or Catholics with child molesting priests.

I'm only ok with it if the man we are all sharing is Jensen Ackles.

Otherwise I just don't see the point.

I am so intrigued by how these families work. I have watched the show "Sister Wives" and I just don't get it. I don't think I could share my husband. Call me selfish, but he's mine!

I watch the TLC show Sister Wives, too, and I absolutely LOVE it. While that lifestyle would NOT be for me, I think people should be free to live their lives as they choose. I think that there is definite possibility to have a loving relationship with consenting adults in polygamy, but it's just not something I would ever choose to do.

my husband and I have actually had discussions on my obsession with Sister Wives, to the point where he asked if it was something I wanted....LOL and of course my answer was no. I flip out when one of his female coworkers text him...can't imagine him sleeping with another woman, let alone another wife....and his reply to me asking if he'd want more than one wife?......."I can't make one happy, why the hell would I want more women that I can't please?" hahahahaha

I say more power to them if it works well for others.... for me, I dont share well with others....

Not my thing. But it's their life so whateves. I have NO clue how those women get along. I'm SO jealous I'd just make everyone else miserable lol.

Regardless of marital status I think that Cody guy is really odd. He loooooves the attention from the media. I watched the episode when he visited some old friends and they made comments about him being an attention *kitten* in school lol.
Now he's the center of attention for four women, about 20 kids, and a ton of TLC viewers. His life is complete! lol

Interesting, but I could never share my man. I am waaaaay too protective of what I have. I can't imagine having him go off to another wife. :noway:

I'm addicted to this stupid show. It drives my husband nuts lmao

I think our laws are misplaced. We want to stop grown men from taking child brides and otherwise being abusive to unsuspecting women but we don't do that by painting all plural marriages with the same brush. It's clear to me that marriages that involve one woman and multiple men OR marriages that involve one man and multiple women OR marriages that involve multiple men OR marriages that involve multiple women should be legally protected so long as they are entered into voluntarily and at the legally acceptable age.

The sooner we realize that plural marriage isn't the problem, but rather sexual abuse/rape, we will be better off.

Agreed!!!!

I would go for it if there were such thing as brother husbands.

I see a new FAD starting! HAHAHA Just kidding with ya Blair_Bear :oP

AGREED!!!

and I'd so watch Brother Husbands too...but god no, I wouldn't want 3 husbands...hellllnooooooo!

OH GOD- Can you imagine brother husbands? There would be no way to overrule keggerators and mini fridges in the living room, and X-Box family night, and 80" televisions with giant black leather furniture.
