Sorry, I fail to see what's so funny....I think I'd much much rather live alone all my life than be object #3 in a harem.
So, in the spirit of this thread: desperate for attention. How do I compete with the other two wives?
uch...I shudder to think of a life always trying to be perfect so dh will give me as much attention, time, money, respect as the other wives

we have a local jewish newspaper here with a fun letters to the editor column. they banned controversial topics, so the last I saw people were just writing ridiculous solutions to the shidduch crisis. well, I say none of them are going to work. statistically, more girls are born than boys. and since the prohibition of polygamy is expired, I've been wanting to write in and say polygamy is the way to go. it would be so much fun (to write it, that is...). honestly, though, I doubt any guy can really afford more than one wife in the way he should be supportive of her. I don't think we have anything to worry about.

The thread would start out saying co-wife hogs the bathroom. Over the course of the thread we'd find out that the husband refuses to leave the house except during eclipses, co-MIL hears voices, co-FIL is a killer for hire, co-BIL is imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, and the third co-wife tries to smother the OP with a pillow when she sleeps.

But the OP doesn't want help with those issues, only the wait for the bathroom.

Same mikvah night as SW3 (sister wife 3), but I hate being second

DD only wants to a SW1,but she was redt a great guy to be SW2, what should I do

HELP. My parents want us to come for Pesach, but can't afford to pay for all the other wives and kids

MIL only likes SW2's kids

Do I have to invite my sister wives' parents to my son's bar mitzvah?

Do I have to host SW3's brother, and all 4 of his wives, for SW3's son's bar mitzvah?

Amother begins a thread about finding romantic emails on dh's phone to another woman, but is reassured by other imamothers that he's just looking for another wife. Perfectly legit

Then more imamothers suggest she get psychotherapy for her jealousy issues. She obviously doesn't love herself....

Don't have any ideas, but a "like" was insufficient to express the glory of your post.
