Man has triple bypass and is arrested and fined for having three wives

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/8908170/
He pleaded guilty to two charges of bigamy on July 19 at the Wimbledon Magistrates' court, and was given a suspended sentence of four months in prison and ordered to pay 70 pounds ($126) in costs, police said.

He is keeping up with 3 wives and gets jailed and fined? Bah, give the man a fucking medal and a parade

I read this a couple of days ago and all I could think was "who in their right mind would get married three times?" Once was more than enough for me. :D

Meh. Whi didn't he just keep 2 as concubines? Paramour?

It's because he called them 'wife' that's the problem.

If my wife agreed to take on a second woman into the relationship I wouldn't marry the second. The first would remain my 'wife', because that is her right as my first. While the next, and the next, and the next would remain my paramour, or a 'salt wife' to use a term out of a Song of Ice and Fire. :)

Go polygamy.

It could have been worse, he could have been arrested for having four wives. AND buggering a dog.

Bah. Polygamy and Polyandry should be legal anyways. As long as everyone is taken care of and agrees to it, why the heck not?

It really wasn't necessary to put him in jail. Having three wives is its own punishment.

Well the instanteous case is not polygamy, it is serial bigamy. He married a woman, seperated from her, "forgot" to get divorced, married another woman, seperated from her and once again "forgot" to get divorced before marrying the third woman. Really he just has a bad memory, he forgets to get divorced before marrying again. It is more like he has a wife and 2 ex-wives than 3 wives, not that legally he has 3 wives since the last 2 weren't legal marriages. Serial bigamy is a whole different kettle of fish than polygamy and a whole different set of problems.

1. Love
2. Sex
3. Companionship
4. Sex...

Need I go on? :)

Seriously though, being married is more of a blessing than everyone makes out. You hear horror stories constantly, but you don't hear about getting home from a hard day and having her smile sweetly, rub your feet, run you a bath, and then make sweet love to you. :)

The little things are why I love my girl/soon to be wife. We have our own psychotic, screaming fights, but those are only a tiny fraction of our life together. The rest of it is suuuuweeeet.

Anyone noticed that the wives themselves were not aware that the others were married to the same man before they met up at the hospital? Seem's to me that they weren't real happy about this guy going around marrying other people behind their backs.

Hmmm, I wonder how you people would react if the gender roles were reversed? Would be interesting to see the attitudes displayed.

"Media reports say that, upon realizing that something was amiss, the wives held a meeting in the parking lot, and learned that they were all married to the same man."

Man, wish I could have witnessed that meeting. :)

Lady 1: "Oh he marries you too huh?"
Lady 2: "Yeah, and her 5 years later"
Lady 1: "Ok, Lady 3 will stand watch in the hall, while I take the pillow and smother him"
Lady 2: "I will hold him down so he can't press the call button
