I would never allow my husband to have a second wife besides why would he want one, I think one is enough trouble!! Maybe he'd want a girlfriend, but not a wife!!

I was a second girlfriend once, and a second wife once. I think for some people it could work quite well, but I've never personally met those people. For me it ended quite badly both times - the women were unhappy for various reasons. I wouldn't do it again, especially the "second" part (I like partnership, not inferiority complexes, and did *not* like being the "other" woman in other peoples' eyes even though that wasn't the true situation) and in all likelihood, not even as a partnership. Too many things can go wrong, especially with children involved.

I would not agree to be a second wife.
But why don't you agree to have a second husband??.
The only ones I know that do that is the old time Mormons.

Personally I don't think if a husband wants a second wife he deserves "Big Love"

Not me, for either.
I would not agree to him having a second "wife" nor me being the second "wife". If a man cannot love me and me alone, and wants to have relations with someone else, then that man is undeserving of me. I am faithful, and I would expect the same from my partner.

Definitely I wouldn't agree to both. I like to be the first and the last wife. For me this idea will only be fine if the guy is divorced, or a widower, or a Muslim but if not then this is an act of infidelity and adultery.

Depends on persons beliefs. If they, meaning those in the situation want to make it work~~~it will work....if not they will create problems. It is a lifestyle choice that they make together. Although i would never consider it myself, I can see where there would be positives in the situation.
Another adult, another income earner, less pull from the partner to have your constant attention, more resources to raise children, another opinion to pool into decision making.......it cant all be bad or no one would ever live that way.

Anybody with respect for themselves would NOT be a second or first wife, and No man/woman/heshe/ect. is worth it. there are diseases out there, plus it's just wrong. There are men and women out there who are deserving of a significant other, yet don't have one and there' s a person ungrateful enough to request a second?! My man ever asked to get another gf/wife, he'd have one, just without me.
Good luck!

I think that if you do share then you want to have an adventurous life and that you're not ready to settle down with one person. It's really like why get married at all. Not to mention some people don't care about getting diseases so the possibility of getting something goes up. I think it's stupid! Whats the point of monogamy!?

As much as you all disagree, I would be totally ok with this situation, so long as it was agreed upon by both me and my husband.
I think that everyone needs to be a bit more open minded to do things they want, not things society deems acceptable...
