As most of my regular readers know, my favorite TV show is HBO's Big Love. The series ended a few weeks ago and I can't bring myself to watch the finale.
I really enjoyed living the principal via the show. I found a family system that works very well for me. I don't want my marriage to end. Plural marriage with the Hendricksons has been my most successful relationship to date.
Since my marriage is being ripped apart by lazy writers (actually, I never bothered to find out why its ending, just assuming) I decided I needed guidance. I signed up for a free psychic reading from some lady advertising on the side of my Facebook.
I got an email back saying it will be 48hrs for my whatever to get done. I hope this is because she will be spending the next two days pouring over start charts and big dusty books bound in human skin but I have my doubts about that.
I am not really sure what to do now that I am an unwanted sister wife, alone, no one to visit me on a weekly basis for a set amount of time. (Sundays from 10-11pm).
My internet dating profiles are still active but I can't take it seriously. I am from a pretty small city and they keep trying to hook me up with drug dealers and skanks. Or survivalists from Maine. Scary.
I think I would prefer a Canadian drug dealer to an American gun nut. Since I've actually been presented with the choice and all. Wow. Thank goodness the Internet was invented.
I think that governments should use the same programs for choosing candidates Zoosk apparently uses for choosing my next boyfriend. Put in the basic profile information for Canada, then the candidates could make their profiles and then the election would advertise along the side of Facebook and people vote on who should lead Canada based on self descriptions and pics of the candidate's abs.
Voter turnout would be the highest EVER.
Don't Give a Damn About My Bad Reputation

Who Would You Rather? Canadian Edition
Canadian "Entertainment". I love it. All of it. The sad sad game shows. The French children's shows that scare the crap out of children. The boring dramas. The ugly fashion.The Hinterland Who's Who. I love to be embarrassed by it. I love to hate it. I love to see it live. I love to touch it and hear it. I love to hate the CBC and the National Film Board and the National Gallery. I love to support it and I love to trash it.
I can't help myself. There is just so much to make fun of. The Canadian arts and entertainment industry is such a mish mash of weirdness and meat dresses and some truly great stuff that I actually don't even know where to start or go or end with the topic now that I've started.

Big Love
The show Big Love returns to HBO on Sunday and I'm pretty pumped. I love that show! I'm also a great big voyeur when it comes to polygamy. It FASCINATES me. Especially when "normal" women are involved.
The thing about the show that I find so great is that the characters are likable, Bill Paxton doesn't come across as a horny redneck like dude on Sister Wives. However I do like the sister wives, especially #3. I wish she was my wife! Anyway Big Love does NOT creep me out and I enjoy the thinking I do when its over.
The book the 19th Wife is a must read for anyone who may be interested in the topic.
So what I most often end up thinking about is how I would handle it, as a 1st wife or as an add-on. I have a hard time giving any credibility to any man who did not grow up with polygamy or as a Mormon (or whatever) who all of a sudden decides "That's the church for me!" and starts acquiring wives. Don't hide behind religion because you a bit of a perv.
Personally, I see a lot of positive benefits to polygamy. I know I'm not supposed to say it out loud but I do. I do not agree with the bull shit that goes on in Bountiful BC or on those compounds in the States. That is using religion as a front for behaviour that is NOT acceptable on ANY level.
What I do believe is that not everyone wants or needs a soul mate. Some people are just better at sharing. Not everyone wants the level of attention or commitment that a traditional relationship entails. Not everyone really wants or needs someone next to them every single night.
I am extremely fortunate to have excellent relationships with the Mothers of my Daughter's half-brothers, her Dad's ex before me and his current girlfriend. While I would probably shoot myself in the face before ever ever ever having a sexual relationship with him again the idea of a great big house like on Big Love with the girls and the babies is very attractive.
I love being at home cooking and doing crafts and all that crap and the other two work like fiends. I like the idea of sitting at a table with two women who love my kids as much as I do and talking about all the STUFF over a glass of wine, knowing that they will help make sure everything is OK. Like having your best friends there all the time.
Even in a situation where I was sleeping with the man I can see me not being adverse to another wife or two. I prefer sleeping alone, I hate being the sole focus of a man's attention, I don't like working outside the home and I like being around other women.
To be fair, I do feel that if he's nipping over to other wing of the house for a cuddle I and the spare wife should be able to have piece on the side if we want.To be truthful, I would just be happy to NOT be expected to put out. Oh to say "Honey, I'm making hats for the cats tonight, can you go see what Jane's is up to?" and have him go "OK" sound divine. No debate, no compromise, no " Do from behind so I can see the TV then, Gawd."
When I break it down its my ideal relationship. Because I'm lazy.
Alternatively, I would be the best Beard ever. Hey rich Gays, give me a call!
