What's everyone's view on polygamous relationships.
Keeping in mind that I have never been in a relationship or ever been in love, this is my view:
I do not think it is my place to say whether or not polygamous relationships are good/ right or bad/wrong. What people do in their own private lives that do not harm others is none of my business.
However, as it relates to me, a polygamous relationship is a hard no. I am going to be very real in saying that I am a very territorial person; I do not share. The mere idea of someone else enjoying the romantic favour of my spouse is at the very least upsetting and at most deeply angering, and I would feel betrayed emotionally. I require commitment solely to me. I want obsession and possessiveness. These are things that I will bring into a relationship, so I want someone who will compliment me in this regard.
My territorial nature extends beyond romantic relationships. When I was child I hated when other children would get too close to my mother or grandmother. Even though not as extreme now, I am still a little irritated when others try to get their affection. I am also an only child, so perhaps that plays into it.
Anyway, if polygamous relationships work for you then you absolutely should pursue them. It is a strong no for me though.
