Why is having more than one girl a bother for many?

Just watched HBO’s “Big Love” and the show had me thinking why girls get riled up when they know their man has another woman… to me, it seems plural relationships are being given the negative treatment here…

I’m not putting Islam in some negative way in my question here but since they (Moslems) don’t have much of a problem with more than one love - polygamy can work out well, right? Or how wrong am I?

Answer #1

I am against polygamy, I believe that there should only be one man and one woman in the relationship. I can’t fathom how some woman could sleep at night knowing that her husband is sleeping with another wife! I am a Muslim and neither me nor my husband believe anything good can come from this. In Christianity, polygamy is allowed as well, it’s only the countries laws that stop Christians from doing it. (some still do it lol!) I’ve watched shows about families in America that have 1 man and 3-4 wives, it is so wrong! All these women live together and I can’t believe that the first wife didn’t go nuts when she found out. In Islam, the man has to get the first wife’s permission to take another wife and the Quran only justifies this if it is for a GOOD reason and you can still take care of your first wife, financially and emotionally. You can’t remarry because your first wife got fat or you just want to be with someone new. So yeah, how would a man feel knowing his wife was married to someone ELSE and sleeping with them and having kids and then saying to the first guy “oh I still love you” . . . you can’t love 2 or more people like that!

And trust me the majority of Muslims have a problem with polygamy! Once you love someone, marry someone and start a family , support them etc, where would a man find another woman to get married again? He shouldn’t even have been looking at any woman and yet there he goes! So basically that time before the actual marriage with the 2nd wife is cheating! Talking and hanging out with this woman, ha!

Lool, as you can see it gets me really worked up!

Answer #2

I know LOTS of polygamists. Some of their marriages are happy, some aren’t, some are right in between. Same as monogamy. It all depends on the people involved, and their attitude toward their partners. Same as monogamy.

Fact is, women tend to want only one love, but men want more than one. If both the men and women involved in polygamy think about their partners more than themselves, it can work beautifully, and every one can be happy.

Problem is, as soon as some one gets selfish, in polygamy or monogamy, the relationship tanks.

Answer #3

most people think its wrong yeah but I dont get it either as long as both people can have more then one person then what is the problem

Answer #4

there is nothing wrong with having a plural relationship.its just as long as everyone in the relationship knows about each other.I think it just depends on who is in the relationship and if there willing to let you be with more than one person.

Answer #5

I think if you tell people before they get their feelings involved it would work out. So let them know upfront and if they choose to be with you then that is cool but at least you gave them a choice. It is the cheating part that gets us. Be straight forward no secrets.

Answer #6

You only have one heart, how can you share one thing for two people?
