I am okay with polyamorous relationships but not marriage. If you want to legally marry one person and say that multiple other people are your common law wives or spirit wives or whatever, but you don't actually try to marry them as well, then I don't have a problem with it. Allowing a person to marry multiple people is just ridiculous imo. But a man having multiple women that he considers to be his wives and having children with them, etc. doesn't concern me. If the women are in the relationship on their own free will and of age, what's wrong with it? It's just a different type of relationship. And the worst that could happen to the children is they'll grow up and want to be in polyamorous relationships too, so what.

I often say this but with polyamorous relationships in mind where everyone is equally attracted to each other and an equal part in the relationship.

A polygamous marriage where it's one man, and multiple straight wives I can not see as something that should be legal. The science and studies just prove it's not healthy, the type of mental/emotional problems it causes, and one has to keep in mind the type of women who would allow it.*

Theoretically speaking, I don't see someone who is being abused* leaving/stopping someone else from being added if it became legal.

I'm extremely liberal (I defend polyamorous relations, outside of just posting online about them) but there is no way to tell the difference between the two dynamics I mentioned, and the risk would out weigh extending benefits to those relationships that are equal all around.

*This isn't saying all of them would be in abusive relationships, but even just having very low self esteem or not being assertive, or even wanting to keep your family together. Think about it, adding another woman, or losing the man you love/father to your children.

Nope

**** all these bitches, I am a polygamist

But anyway, yes, I do believe in it, as long as everyone in the marriage is ok with it, why not?

I don't know. But if polygamy was legal, I envision people offering others sham marriages, for a price, for benefits. Just my thoughts, which could be off-base.
