Ménage à Trois
Damn, double the trouble. Wjhat is that guy thinking?
He signed up for bitching in stereo.
Elliot has it right. Put that old horse to pasture. Shouldn’t be saddled with a couple of nags at his age.
In Old Tyme Mormon polygamy days they were called “Sister Wives”.
NEXT: A man marries his mother, a sheep, and a golden retriever.

Don’t any of you Heinlein fans remember “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress”? Seems to me that he had line marriages in there. Not that this is anything like that but I thought I’d bring it up just to be me.
Having said that, I’ll also say that this guy may be getting more than he bargained for and I doubt that it’ll be all good.
Good grief- what will they think of next..........FYI - I would not be turned on by this Victor who ever he is.........

Dottie: Regarding Victor, how about I shoot you a little clue? Think like a woman! This link is called “How to spot a rich man”. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/images/spotrich.jpg
On the Moon, Heinlein envisioned a penal colony for an authoritarian Earth; one with a serious shortage of women, especially in the early days. Line marriage was an adaptation.

Then there was “Paint Your Wagon”
I think I liked/loved almost all of Heinlein’s women.
I met one of them once: Sally Rand. The only autograph I ever collected.
Unfortunately I wasn’t aware of their connection at the time. They went to high school together and remained life long friends. I know that he incorporated some of her qualities and attitudes in more than one of his characters.
What’s next, twin brothers marrying twin sisters, as union of four
Note to those from Hope, Arkansas and Carville, Louisiana: I don’t mean that twin brothers are marrying their twin sisters, we have to maintain some depth to the gene pool here… It is necessary for the fambly tree to have branches, and not to resemble a telephone pole.
Else
= 
Leave the golden retreivers out of it, they are the closest thing to a “smart blonde”, doncha know…
SK & frank—We MUST discuss Heinlein farther. I was reading him in the ‘50s—John Campbell & Amazing SciFi.
(OINK reluctantly turns back to the topic of sex) They say if you can remember the ‘60s you weren’t really there, but I never bought into the “group grope” mentality & I preferred the word “Adultery” rather than the bullshit term “Open Marriage”. As my wife says, we are (and were) “very straitlaced about sex” --just like Don Corleone.

Rat: I know of a case two pairs of Identical Twins marrying—I don’t know if they were monogamous. Their kids were technically cousins, but genetically brothers & sisters. Hmmm? They all lived in the same household, so there may have been some fooling around… But it would be easy to claim confusion. Too much “undifferentiated family ego mass” for me.

OCM: That was tried—the Love-Only stuff—turns out that next morning some men actually denied that they had made marriage vows! It was especially tough on women, who tend to get pregnant and
like that. Also their kids had a rough time. That’s why wedding vows are made in public.

frank: Yes, I like it. The ‘pure libertarian’ (i.e. ain’t gonna happen soon) position is to get the Government out of the marriage biz. Govt has a legit interest in children’s welfare, even down to seat belt laws. BUT if two --or more—adults want to live together and
—go for it!

OCM: Especially none of the government biz if two guys wanna go at it. Pregnancy not an issue—no kids involved. If they adopt, fine --if they are good parents—but that’s NOT a marriage issue .

OCM: One would hope. I understand that it was formerly The Church, in Europe anyhow, that sanctioned marriage. Naturally, the Church and State were not separate—a union that was bad for both.
I would be pissed if a Gay-run-Government told me that I was not married.
My Church considers marriage a sacrament. It is merely witnessed by The Church, but the two participants are the ones that actuate it. If ‘divorced’ folk get a Civil Divorce to facilitate property settlement—no problem. The “Sacrament” part of marriage makes it holy, and forbids anyone from interfering with it.Of course, in practice, it’s frequently an unholy mess.

I couldn’t give a
about “religion”—if you mean smoke going up to “heaven”.
I much prefer the Fire that comes down from Heaven.

No, OCM
“Whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely… “
If it meets those standards, it’s just gotta work.

Does this mean our engagement is OFF ?!
