No one likes being second best, that's what it is. Second wife smacks of second best that's why women always say a resounding no to that question. However, if we follow SSe's logic, a lot of people are in
some kind of polygamy anyway; difference being that they don't share their home with that second 'spouse'.
Again,following Sse's logic, there are a lot of marriages that will experience some kind of polygamy sadly because the foundation they are built on wasn't right. While we all wish it wasn't so, we mustn't deny the fact that people marry for all sorts of reasons excluding love and if true love meets them while they are married to another...wahala.
Oh we can all cry 'as you make your bed so you lie on it' and 'marriage is a commitment' etc etc but emotions are powerful things...think on it.
Would anyone like to be second anything -wife or husband? I don't think so but will people be second...definitely. Let's be real here.
Continuing is Sse's logic (nwanne, it's your day todaygrinning

, some marriages appear 'monogamous' because the couple don't want to divorce/separate which is understandable but in those loveless marriage, there is a second somewhere...isn't that polygamy in some form...
This marriage thing is not as straight forward as it appears...or maybe it is...maybe it's as simple as 'marry for love and nothing else' at least that will ensure a strong foundation to build everything else on...
