The wives know about each other and all consented before marriage to polygamy.

The wives are not children.

If I had respected him before why would my opinion change? As long as all of his wives agreed and knew what they were getting into, and as long as he treated them all well and they felt emotionally happy, and as long as he supported them and gave them what they wanted and needed- then who am I to judge. It happens much more often than we think.
In some religions it is okay to have more than one wife--- even in Islam- -yet God warns in Islam "It is better for you to have only One wife... if only you knew." My opinion of the man would not change.

First.....Shock! Then....well.....I look at it this way. I have never met anyone that I can agree with 100%--100% of the time. I have sin in my life too so really who am I to point a finger and condemn him.
That said I do not have to agree with his lifestyle or support it and if it becomes a real issue between us then I do not have to spend time with him either. That is called "Free Will." Great ain't it?

If all parties were consenting adults and pleased with the situation, I would set a few extra places when I invited him over to dinner.

I would not do anything as it would not be any of my business.
I would if I got the chance try to jail him if I knew he was claiming children as his wives.
Adult women have a right to decide their lives but forcing children to do so is wrong. (forcing adult women to marry is wrong and should no be legal).

i wouldn't do anything. If you respected him for his business side or something that has nothing to do with his personal life. Than i wouldn't do anything. I would still respect them as i always had but i would ask tons of questions!

I'd wonder about his sanity - what man really wants to deal with 3 women's temperments, menstruations and general cattiness?
Then I'd realize why he seemed so tired all the time lol

Ask him to get help for his masochistic tendencies.
Three mothers-in-law.
Now there's a man who wants to suffer.
I'd invite all of them over for a bbq, but not tell them who else was coming.
Then stand back and watch him get what he deserves.

I think I would be shocked. After I got over the shock I would feel deceived and let down.

I'd be wondering where all his energy came from! I'd feel pretty betrayed by the whole thing.

I would wonder how he is still alive, because you know he can't keep something like that a secret forever. It seems the women would get together and kill his sorry butt!
