Is There A Happy Polygamous Home? by Nobody: 2:08pm On Jun 13, 2013
Is there one without bitter rivalry and subtle resentments and jealousies?
can they be happy in this arrangement
How about the children from polygamous homes,what are your regrets and what did you miss by having a dad who had other families
Did you resent your dad when he married new wives
How did you feel about the half siblings
Will you do same i.e marry more than one or be married to a polygamist

Or did you come from a happy big love family where your daddy took evening walks with your mom and co mothers ,perhaps you had a happy polygamous neighborhood family that you admired.
Please share

there are happy polygamous homes.....
it's only when there's no money you see strife and raw anger. i used to have an asian boss with 4 wives. the wives work as a team with mutual respect. they even go camping with the kids of the other wives for days!

I want to agree with the bolded but from commens of NL ladies who are supposedly empowered and are earning their own income, they still can't stomach sharing their man

Why is this so

because...."orisa je kinpe meji obinrin ko si"
whether the man is rich or not, no woman will want to share her man with another woman. Jealousy will always set in. We are all human.

i am from a polygamous home, my dad had 3 wives, and even though, the wives pretends to be happy with one another, but they never really are, based on what each mother told/tell their children.
I wouldnt want to go into too much details here, you know we have diverse people here, and who knows, whether one or more of my half siblings are Nairalanders, but i still maintain my point, they may be pretending to be happy, but no real happiness in polygamous homes......mark the word......REAL. IT MEANS THERE MAY BE FAKE HAPPINESS, BUT NOT REAL HAPPINESS.

cougar, its not only money that makes a family. That your boss family you talked about are only pretending, if you move or you are very conversant with the wives, you will see that they are only pretending to be happy, they are not REALLY happy with themselves, even, if the last 3 wives do not care, not the first wife, she cant be happy that her hubby betrayed her trust by marrying additional wives. You can only see the truth coming out when the man dies.
Again, "orisa je npe meji obinrin ko si".

it's all in the head.....
far majority of divorces are from monogamous homes - so who are we fooling? if you have a man and a wife at home too, they would fight and say horrible stuff to each other. wives pretending to be happy is a moot point - humans are generally insatiable!

i really commend your dad - 3 wives are better than 2. actually any number is better than 2. it's only when one woman feels left out that danger is imminent. when there are more than one wife feeling left out, things are generally better.

cougar! You are a liar, even, if islam approves polygamy, very many of these muslim women are not happy with their men for having additional wives, only that, they cant really fight for it, because of their religion, and even at that, many muslim women have refused to continue living with the man, once he has another wife/wives.

Most people who will not be happy in polygamous home are the same people who will not be comfortable with the extended family.
That is just how it is.
There are cases where first and second wives will be happy until the third or fourth wife comes in. Its like infections, if one of the wife is problematic, she contact it to others.
A woman who will not stay in polygamous home also will have problem if the husband marry only her.
So there can be happiness it depends on the situation.
My next neighbour that box the wife everyday has only one wife and this is common in most home.

a true muslim lady must accept the possibility of her husband marrying more than one wife. it's in the holy quaran. the ones that are not happy are fake muslims or not really deep in the religion.

this is because we are generally backwards in africa!! what is it that does not go the diabolical way in africa? football? politics? seeking employment? wealth creation? in short name one industry in africa you won't find diabolical practises? some churches even use charms to drive congregation to worship.

it then begs the question - how come monogamous marriages have a much more higher divorce rate than polygamous. i have been to UAE/qatar/jordan - the people there are mostly polygamous and we don't get to hear of homicide or climbing divorce rates in those places.

very dumb indeed, as far as im concerned, no normal-thinking man should marry more than a wife, except the first wife dies.
The disadvantages and dangers and negative effect that polygamy has on the family, especially on the children is far more than any benefit one can get from it, even, if there is any benefit at all.

and a true muslim must know how to treat them all equally. Cougar, as a human being, is it possible to treat the wives equally in ALL ASPECT of the marriage. Is it possible? Be sincere. Are you sure there wont be preference or favouritism when dealing with the wives.And that is why a very true muslim will not even dare it.
What about the children, can he like, treat and care for all of them equally, regardless of who the mother is?

men that marry one wife are very selfish

that means u dont care abt yr childrenz happiness . .u rather be happy than yr offspring's

its better you keep yr first wife in yr house with her children. .then have concubines and bast-ards all over the place than marry and bring those deperate gold-digging b1tches into your house

that exactly what my grandfather did, he was much smarter

he made sure he never married any other woman apart from his first wife but had bas-tards littered around Nigeria

when he died, all his first children wife inherited all his property while the bast-ards where left with nothing
till today they are still begging to be part of the family

but my father;s mother(grandmother) does not give a fuc-k abt them tongue

Not fair at all. How can a guy with only one thing enjoys four things?
how do they have the strength to do it? I think it is stressful for them.
I think men that marry more than one wife or sleep with someone outside marriage are just greedy.

it's possible!
very very possible - human management skills would trigger in the marriage. fair play across the board and mutual respect must be the tenet of such marriages. if men can manage people at work, they would manage wives at home.


Is it possible? Be sincere. Are you sure there wont be preference or favouritism when dealing with the wives.And that is why a very true muslim will not even dare it.

it's possible cos i have seen it done in that same lagos.

are you saying a father of 7 children in a monogamous setting might find it difficult treating them equally? grin
