Men with More Wives Than One

"It's unfair!" said my friend with a deep frown on his face, "Why isn't it that way anymore nowadays?" The discussion was about how the ancient Romans used to treat women in such a way that they can have any woman they want, in a grab and let's do it manner. I guess maybe that's why those ancient Romans kept on fighting among themselves?

In another discussion that was expounded on the following day about men with more wives than one, it was biblical based. It was about Solomon and how he had 700 wives and let's put aside for a moment the 300 concubines. If one will compute based on the number of days in a year which is 365, then he would have to service at least 2 a day? Since the total amount is 1,000 women, that means Solomon will be quite busy 3 times a day? LOL! My goodness, with so many women to deal with, it is still a wonder he was so wise?

Then there is another biblical character which is David who also had more wives than one. David did in turn set up the husband of the woman he wanted who was Bathsheba, to send the guy off to battle to die so he can have her as a wife. Great move. 

Closer to home, in the south, there was this man who held a political position that also more women than one, according to the insider story. This man would buy each a house and support them, and sleep in one house then another the next night. Yah right, Apparently, he got away with it and his bait was a home and support. 

People do sometimes "make kapit sa patalim" meaning that they hold on to the sharp edge of a knife. This is done in order to survive. Yet, it is a compromise. Money has a power to make a person give up their principles, integrity, and it is said that it is the root of all evil - though it is the love of money that is the culprit. We see people amass fortunes at the expense of their constituents, at the expense of other, and in the end, one can't take it to the grave anyway. 

Many women choose a man to be their partner based on more reasons than love. That is a wise decision yet I have spoken to a lot that say after many years, their making the right choice isn't enough. I got a call after dinner from a woman crying about her husband, how he has to change because he plays around and she had two kids, so I told her, focus on the children and work it out with him. 

Work on it. Find a middle ground. Fix the differences. I can't imagine how a man can have so many wives when one is more than enough to handle! Is it the variety? The dissatisfaction must be there or the only thing that is on their mind when they see their "wives" is what is between their legs. 

Faithfulness is a decision like most of the other things that that are important in a relationship. Sure, the eyes of man will stray and appreciate when they see Elizabeth Hurley! The real essence of a relationship goes beyond the looks, beyond the sex, forgiving always, and trying to make it work, daily. It is the commitment to keep the commitment, typically bound by a contact but does not necessarily have to be, and that kind of decision will make the relationship last. 

Too serious?  Okay, then. Ehem. Cough.

Three men were stranded in a desert island for a long, long time. Two of the men finally wandered off to inspect the other parts of the island. That two came back, excited, and one said, "Hey, there are a lot of orangutans at the other side. I made out with one of them." The other man also said, "Yes, I made out with an orangutan, too, and it was great. You should try it, dude." The third guy who was left behind was shocked but since he hasn't had sex for so long, he decided to go to the other side of the island with the two men. Upon reaching the place where there was a group of orangutans, he grabbed the nearest one and started making out. 

Then he heard gales of laughter from the two men while he was in the act. After he was done, he went to them and asked why they were laughing. And one answered, "You just had to pick the ugliest one! Bwahahahahaha!"

Today, I had the displeasure of dining with a man who showed his hand to prove to us that he was a louse. The air reeked with his loud voice aghast that he got exposed when the host, my daughter and I pinned him down on his creepy ways, He was in a hurry to leave, stood up, bolted out the door, paid for the bill, so dinner was never finished. Yehey. I am still thinking if I should tell him off one more time but then he had already lost face, though I might to stop him from trying to pull off another stunt ever again, That man is the kind of man that will make out with the ugliest orangutan or any orangutan for that matter because he says, "Don't leave your wife, just add to them."

Men with more wives than one. So what's that piece of paper? It's a contract. So what's it without a piece of paper? It's a deal, a promise, a commitment. In business, not all contacts are delivered to the utmost satisfaction of the parties yet it is still binding. Contacts, deals, promises, can be dissolved when one backs out or both agree to finish it and the same applies to relationship. This I firmly believe should be strong enough to make it last though my personal belief is that a timeless relationship is based on the red string of fate.
