    If I donot love my partner then yeah, such arrangement is possible ,however, if lady-luck strikes him and I do fall in love with him then he'd have to choose between me and other ...errr... women.
    As for having more than one male partner for me ... naaaaahhhhhh ... toooo dirty! the socks and the jocks! YUCK!

    Naw, not for me. I wouldn't want to share my man with another woman, or would want more than one man. One man is enough for me.cool

      It is rare to see a courageous Indian woman. I appreciate your spirits. If all woman become courageous, like you,  then India will conquer the whole world.
      You certainly cant have more than one partner. Because, one partner himself is enough to spoil your courage. (Take all the great women in history... they shined only after the death of their husbands or will shine until they get married. Even Cleopatra had to leave her husband to come out of the shell.)

        Um.  Yeah.  Right.  I know a lot about art history.  Take Artemisia Gentileschi for instance.  Married with about 6 kids...the husband took care of all those kids.  Gifted, "a great woman from history."  And painted some beautiful things--Including that one painting where the biblical Judith is cutting the head off of Holofernes.  wink

        And, respectfully, I think the U.S. secretary of state would beg to differ with these viewpoints.

        Just a couple things, off the top of my head...

    If people have the kind of love people should have in a marriage, then they would not be interested in having extra partners.  In that kind of set-up (more than one partner) the marriage is based on something other than love.  I'm not a big fan of marriages that aren't based on genuine love.

      Methinks you are confusing "possessiveness" with "genuine love". The first is not entirely psychologically healthy, but is useful for keeping people in their roles as workers and consumers, so it is promoted by big business and the media as an ideal. The second, genuine love, tends to awkwardly cut across social conventions to promote what is in the genuine best interests of the one we genuinely love, which makes it problematic, and it is therefore not recognised or encouraged in popular culture.

      Genuine love says to a partner - "if your life mission takes to you another country for many years, go with my blessing". Possessiveness says "I can;t live without you! You must deny your life's calling and stay here with me."

      Genuine love easily allows for other partners - possessiveness does not.

    I could never be the second wife but I might consider taking a second husband smile

    I don't even have one husband and 99% of the time I don't even miss that so having multiple husbands sounds like too many problems.

    Same thing applies for a man having more than one wife....sounds good in theory, but the logistics of living like that every day is just too chaotic to think about.

      LOL! I'm with you. Men make high maintenance pets. I can't imagine having two. big_smile

      On a more serious note, it's one thing to say in the abstract that genuine love is open and allows for other partners. I mean, that sounds good and it will always get a round of applause, especially from guys, but I haven't met any people personally who made it work. All of my friends who tried 'open marriages' (and I've known several people who tried this) just ended up divorced a little while later. In every case it was just an attempt to salvage a relationship they weren't quite ready to leave--but they did leave it shortly after making it 'open'.
