Yes I’m a Polygamist

 

This is the thing about myself which when I reveal it to people it always causes a lot of debate I have been called some of the worst things out there but we cover that later.

 

My father’s advice that I take her as a second wife was met with a great deal of anger and debate in the household. Remember earlier I said that I’d never seen my parents argue before well on this day the argument which ensued was like nothing I’d ever heard before of the six wives in the house, four supported the idea while two were completely opposed to it.

 

The thing I found confusing about the entire fight was that they all didn’t regret the decision to be part of a polygamous family they just didn’t think it would be fair to Diana or Roxanne as neither of them came from such a home. In the end it was my father, as always, who ended the debate he told me that the only person who could tell me what Diana would or wouldn’t do was Diana herself.

 

The next day after dinner I sat her down and I told her everything I barred my soul and when I was done she walked away. The next day she left me.

 

I don’t remember much of what happened after that but I know that I was in a dark place I didn’t want to live anymore I felt suicidal. Two weeks later she came back to me and as she sat in front of me with tears in her eyes I felt like an asshole which I was.

 

But that day she said that if that was what I needed then she would support me because I had not lead the family astray yet.

 

If there was any doubt in my mind that the Lord was with me when I made the decision I made to have Roxanne join my family they were quickly crushed by what happened next.

 

Diana she is and was the only reason Roxanne agreed to date me or as we call it court me. Diana convinced Roxanne to go out with me and not as friends and three months later we were married.
