I know in some cases the wives don't have a say in who they are to be married, but in this case it seems as though they are all happy and accepted this lifestyle.

I sure as hell wouldn't share my old man, scheduling times to be with him and all that. But if these people are not doing anything wrong, and no one is getting hurt then what business is it on anyones to judge.

If they don't like it, don't watch it. If they find it fascinating like I do, enjoy it with a bowl of popcorn.

The kids are said to go to a polygamy friendly school. So this whole situation wont come to them being ridiculed.

I haven't seen this show and I think it would be interesting to see how their relationship parallel's to my own.

I am in a polyamorous relationship with two guys one of which I have been married to for going on 6 years. The other guy is his best friend that he grew up with. Our relationship is a positive one and by that I mean we have open lines of communication and we agree to disagree. Our relationship isn't perfect but we are working on how it can be better.

The jealousy issue sometimes crops up but is quickly squelched as we all assure each other of the boundaries. My children are completely ok with the way the relationship is. They are never a party to anything between the adults. They see pda's in the form of hugs and kisses and human contact. They NEVER see any sexually explicit content.

We function as a multiple parent family and when we need to deal with problems we try to talk them out rationally and if we can't we agree to disagree.

The relationship is a work in progress and we are happy and content with it for now.

I haven't seen the show from TLC yet, but am an avid fan of Big Love. I think it's totally possible for other people to live this lifestyle and it be an amazing experience to share that sort of bond with more that one other person, but I don't think I personally could live that way. As far as having a sister wife to help and share in the child rearing and cooking and errands and everything else that comes with running a household on a daily basis, I have that already. A tight knit group of sexy, intelligent, knitting, music loving, family members that I call my my ladies. So Some days or weeks I do have that sort of help with me and mine and I do the same for them. Their husbands are also our friends. My husband's best friends. It just all worked out as we grew up, that we all knew and loved each other, coupled off and stayed together. My problem would be with sharing my husband. I don't consider myself to be jealous, but after we have dealt with an affair and a few years falling apart and then coming back around, I'd like to keep my immediate family just as it is right now. Because it's working. It feels good again. We'd have to completely finish healing us before trying to undertake and create a whole new family unit. I can't wait to see an actual show about this and it not be a story-lined drama filled show. That's just good television. I'm ready to watch the real thing and see how it works in the real world.

On a silly note, If one of us couples ever wins the lottery or power ball, we have all decided to build ourselves a little place out in the country. All live in our separate houses, but have one giant communal backyard like on Big Love. We've decided we'll probably be shot or invaded for being some sort of garden growing hippy fringe cult/commune but we'd do it anyway.

Silly me, I thought being married to different people at the same time was illegal? Maybe I don't know much about it, and don't want to really. However, I'm not going to tell someone they are wrong for doing it, or judge them. It just isn't for me.
