Should Having Multiple Spouses Be an Option?

That's a very insightful way to put it. It also eloquently states my point. Jealousy and favoritism would become too much of an issue in my opinion. Thank you for sharing.

But you are projecting "who you are" onto the rest of the world by saying "no one should do it". It works perfectly fine for some people.

I mean, my irl view on marriage as a whole is that the entire institution of marriage is a problem. Regardless of whether it is monogamous or polygamous. For most, it's a romanticized way of "owning" aspects of another person. I'm way too independent to support that, in any way.

But in the Sims, I love weddings and I'm looking forward to the next pack more than I have almost any other pack the game has gotten. The game is not real life. Adding more options for how marriages are structured is nothing but a positive thing for the game.

I don't believe I said definitively that it shouldn't be. I simply stated my view on it. If I did say that you should not be allowed to be in such a relationship, I apologize. However, my feeling on it doesn't change.

As far as "owning" anyone, that's how marriage has been twisted. A point of a marriage is to voluntarily be a part of something bigger than the individual. If a person in a marriage believes that they own any part of their partner then they are in a dysfunctional relationship in my opinion. Again, my opinion and not meant to be a forced lifestyle on you or anyone else.

If the person that I married decided he/she wanted another spouse as well. I would wish them the best and leave the relationship so they could fulfill that desire.
