Obviously the abuse/instigation thing is completely unacceptable, but you know, I don't think I'd mind all that much if my husband had another wife. Company during the day, someone to help out with the housework and kids, the bedroom to yourself on occasion - certainly a helluva lot more use than a second husband.LITTLE BROWN DOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176955139690523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-28425324428847141312007-09-14T12:53:00.000+01:002007-09-14T12:53:00.000+01:00flowerpot, you need to read margaret mead's book "...flowerpot, you need to read margaret mead's book "coming of age in samoa." that's what theyre referring to when they talk about uncles and brothers indoctrinating the women.<BR/><BR/>it's an anthropological book but it became a best seller and was quite controversial when it was published.<BR/><BR/>i guess if we had been brought up that way, surrounded by people who lived that way, we would be fine with it, too.<BR/><BR/>but i am glad i was not. i like my life: my husband, our dogs, our trust in each other.lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-58690630650828475702007-09-14T11:49:00.000+01:002007-09-14T11:49:00.000+01:00Exactly Crystal.

These women are obviously brought up to live like this, but I'm sure, if they saw another way of life, i.e. ours, they would realise that they are being totally ripped off from having a loving and trusting relationship with someone who truly loves them. <BR/><BR/>Crystal xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
