Default Re: Should I tell my girlfriend my wife is pregnant?

This issue seems to be almost the only issue plaguing our American marriages today, except for the occasional addiction. I found this on Wikipedia:

Benefits of polygamy

"Philip Kilbride, an American anthropologist, in his book, Plural Marriage for our Time, proposes polygamy as a solution to some of the ills of the American society at large. He argues that plural marriage may serve as a potential alternative for divorce in many cases in order to obviate the damaging impact of divorce on many children. He maintains that many divorces are caused by the rampant extramarital affairs in the American society. According to Kilbride, ending an extramarital affair in a polygamous marriage, rather than in a divorce, is better for the children, "Children would be better served if family augmentation rather than only separation and dissolution were seen as options." Moreover, he suggests that other groups will also benefit from plural marriage such as: elderly women who face a chronic shortage of men.[4]"

Maybe there is something to be said for those religions where the man marries more than one woman. Of course it may need some revisions as some of us women out there would need to marry more than one man to suit our needs, lol.

I agree, this post is quite socially disagreeable, as proven by everyone's reactions, I guess I just have an open mind and can see his point.... The sex is great, the relationship is great, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. eh, just thinking out loud.

But on the flipside, just to throw it out there... are you sure the baby is yours????? Maybe she was out gettin her groove on too!!

I'm sure I've offended about everyone that's read this, I'm just offering another point of view. Fire away.
