Polygamy 411

I think many times what happens in polygamous marriages is a new wife pops up on the scene,  joins the marriage, and then thinks she is special. I’m pretty sure that is what happened with Carolinah.

Alex had already been over there with Carolinah, getting “comfort.” I’m certain he told her a lot of stories about his…woe is me. He told her how unhappy he was in our marriage.  So, why wouldn’t she think she was going to get the royal treatment and I’d take the backseat once she married him?

Did Carolinah’s imagination (Satan) lead her to believe that Alex would divorce me after he got over there in her house with her, and began enjoying life with her so much? Or did she think I’d divorce Alex, as I wouldn’t be able to accept my new lifestyle, nor endure the pain and suffering I felt?

Either way…It didn’t happen.  Alex and I did not divorce. Allah knows best whether divorce will ever happen between Alex and me.

I had mentioned to Alex that Carolinah knew what she was getting into before she became a part of polygamy.  He said, “She thought she knew.”
