just thought id let you know that polygamy is NOT a mormon thing and most mormons wud take ur sn very offensively......

First, Mormons do not practice polygamy. Second, I doubt any Mormon would want to marry someone as ignorant as you.

This reminds me of Big Love. lol.

Well, the whole situation depends on how you think. If your are interested in it, then i guess you'd have no problem. But, obviously your not, because you posted it on fmylife.com, so obviously its a big F to the life. Maybe its just something he's been interested or just curious about. Then you should just have a talk with him. But if your that kind of person, then you can just like bitch slap him and walk out or what ever you wana do but most people arnt like that. unless he was just jocking. Then everything ive said sounds like stuck up bull shit.

well was he kidding??

If that's something he seriously wants and you don't then you might have to divorce. If my bf expressed a desire for something like that I'd drop him in an instant. It wouldn't matter to me if it was just a slight desire. I want my man to only express interest in being with me. Period.

First of all, at 113: Why can't we take every opportunity to discuss an issue and perhaps learn a thing or two along the way? Personally I think a discussion of this magnitude coming from something as simple as an FML, a simple posting on a site meant for humor, shows that people have capacity and desire to learn, even if they don't know it. I think that the day when free discussion is banned worldwide (not that it'd ever happen) would become known as the day intelligence started to die. Onto the actual FML: Obviously your husband was a dick. FYL for that. I agree with everyone who has said that he should have approached it differently if he was serious about it, said it at a different time if it was a joke, or pulled his head out of his ass if he wanted just loose sex. For the larger issue Normally I'm the kind who is supportive of change, especially when it comes to marriage, however in this case I'm not sure where I stand. I do not for a second believe that polygamy is immoral...in the same way that I believe communism isn't immoral or wrong. If practiced correctly, both are perfectly harmless if all parties involved agree. However, communism turned into one person or group taking advantage of the system to gain whatever they wanted and absolute power at the expense of everyone else involved. Polygamy is the same way. It isn't wrong, but often it is used to enforce a belief that some cultures have in oppression of women. I do believe that oppression is wrong, but in those cases polygamy can't be blamed and labeled as "immoral" simply because it was the instrument used to oppress. That'd be like putting a gun on trial for a murder. Silly, right? As far as morality within this country (USA), I believe the answer to that lies in this country's first document: the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self evident that all [people] are created equal and that they are endowed by their creator with certain [irrevocable] rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." I'm not going to pretend that I knew what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote this, nor am I going to say that I'm not stretching these words, feel free to debate me if you feel I have misunderstood them. However, I would like to call the attention to the "pursuit of happiness" part. If people can be happy in a polyamorous or polygamous relationship, why shouldn't they be allowed to do so? The only reason I don't know where I stand is because in spite of all I've just said, something about it just doesn't sit right with me. I'm not saying it's wrong morally, I'm just not sure. It might just be, as some people have suggested, the part of me that clings to the social norms of society. Personally, it'd never work with me. I'm not saying that it wouldn't work for someone else, just not my thing. Finally, to all of those who say children can't for arguments, I'm 17, still a child by all standards. These are just my opinions though. Please feel free to debate anything I've said. Forgive me my spelling and grammatical errors and correct any misuses of terminology I've used.

OP: I noticed that your name is "nonmormon" did you know that mormons don't practice polygamy? they can't be members if they do. gah, i hate how ignorant people are about other people's religions. any questions? go to www.lds.org and then you won't have to pretend that you know something. my best friend is a mormon...and i'm pretty sure she has one mom... kthanks.

YDI for not being pretty enough to be the only one your man wants to ****. (:!

Either he's Mormon, or you just live in Utah... I'm guessing #2 (lol, not serious about the first, My girlfriend's Mormon)
