Often the biggest blow when you hear about these things is the unexpectedness of it all. From the outside you would just never have guessed what was happening behind the scenes and it's all the more surprising when you are close to them. I think for those of us who value our partners, it's the pain that we wouldn't want to cause them that maybe keeps us from looking for temptation.
Yet there are those who are completely comfortable with polygamous relationships and maybe more people are like that than we know, because our society values monogamy. I can't say I understand it, but I guess I shouldn't judge it. I wonder how many would come out as polygamous if we were more open and accepting of it.
Time will tell how it all shakes out...I wasn't actually that surprised to hear about it to be honest, Faith and I both said we saw that coming. It's probably difficult for people to understand that as they don't know the people or the situation and even for us...We're not in that situation meaning we are not them, so who really knows right?
