Polygamy there is no lying or betrayal, everyone lives together and knows about the other

Re: Polygamy Spin
I guess the polygamists agree? I don't know, I could never, ever be in a polygamist relationship.

Re: Polygamy Spin
Well with Polygamy they are in agreement that there are other people in the relationship - it is not just husband and wife.
With cheating - you are doing it behind the persons back.
IMO - I do think they are both basically just different ways of cheating.
After watching Big Love - you can't help but feel bad for the other wives when he is sleeping with the other wives on different nights.
The whole Polygamy thing is just exhausting to me. I know that there would be no benefit for me to have any more husbands...DH is handful enough. And I'm sure that he feels the same way about me.

Re: Polygamy Spin
hmm, interesting question.
I think that is not cheating since they all have an equal part in the relationship. there are no lies involved.

IF you go off of the TV show BIG LOVE, he does nothing but work and have sex and has 3 wives to take care of him. The woman take care of everything so for a man this is totally ideal.
I do feel bad for the kids

Are polygamists always one man with many wives? Is it ever multiple husbands?

He makes out - he pushes all the problems off onto the first wife too.

It's called polyandry when one woman has multiple husbands and polygyny when one man has multiple wives though all fall under the broader term polygamy. I really don't know the countries in which polyandry occurs.

i learned about it in a Psych class in colelge- it was Really one of the most interesting topics we studied. And, really did make me think of how UNnatural monogamy is. still, my beliefs lie in monogamy for my relationship.

Re: Polygamy Spin
this is on wikipedia (about polyandry)
OCCURENCE:
Polyandry has occurred in Tibet (see Polyandry in Tibet), Zanskar, Nepal, India (Zanskar, Ladakh, Toda of South India, Nairs of Kerala, the Nymba and Pahari of North India), and Sri Lanka. It is also encountered in some regions of China (especially Yunnan- the Mosuo people), and in some Subsaharan African and American indigenous communities (notably the Surui of northwestern Brazil). In other societies, there are people who live in de facto polyandrous arrangements that are not recognized by the law.
CAUSES:
Some forms of polyandry appear to be associated with a) the perceived need to retain aristocratic titles or agricultural lands within kin groups, and/or b) with frequent male absence, for long periods, from the household. As to the former variety, consider that in Tibet where the practice is particularly popular among the wealthy Sakya priestly nobility as well as poor small farmers who could ill afford to divide their small holdings. As to the latter variety, as some males return to the household, others leave for a long time, so that there is usually one husband present.

Polyandry definitely isn't an American thing from what I've been reading.
