What Do You Think Of Polyandry?

[Locutus]

I think individual instances of polyandry or polygamy aren't a big deal. However, if these were the norm they would be destabilizing.

and yet they're not. in societies in which it's common, it works very well and has done for centuries. I've lived in such a society (not as a wife!!), and had friends who were one of several wives. they absolutely loved the life. each wife was given a house and often a business of her own, to run as she saw fit. most only saw the husband once or twice a week, which kept the relationships fresh and interesting. they were considerably more 'free' than women in monogamous marriages in the same society.

you may want to stop pretending (to yourself) that it's a practical matter. clearly you fancy the brother, and feel proprietary possessiveness towards him.

That's the thing his family would never approve of me marring both brothers. I don't think the brothers would want to share like that. This could ruin all of it. I will not have anfair. It does make sense for me to marry them both if he can never find the right woman to share his life with. Things would stay in the family. The way the houses are set up in a way that he has his house and we have ours on the same property it could work. I just keep it to my self.
