I might be off the mark here, so correct me if I am wrong.
While Islam allows for multiple companions, if I understand correctly, there are now rules that have been put in place in certain countries that are supposed to govern that aspect of Islam.
Also, some countries seem to have restricted the practice.
The real question you need to ask yourself is whether you want to be second fiddle in a marriage or in an everyday relationship.
This guy is in love With me but couldn't propose to me because I'm not an appropriate Muslim (I don't pray and don't dress "appropriately") I also am a hysterical woman since I have anxiety and depression. I also don't have a job. So he went for someone more appropriate who has a job and also a little prettier than me with higher education level.
However, these two (him and his wife) have been trying to stay in touch with me and frequently message me for some reason. The other day, when I stabbed my leg, it got to the ear of his wife and she stopped by to force me to go to the hospital (I don't even know how she knew, maybe my sister told her).
Idk I thought it was weird that she is so concerned with me knowing how her husband feel towards me. But some Muslim women's are weird man. She is probably the type of Muslim woman to actively try to find a second wife for her husband.
They probably expect me to be his emotional support and confident since he feels closer to me, while she'd be the one to take care of the children etc. Something like that. Basically she'd be Lady Diana and I'd be Camilla Spencer.
Polygamy is amazing. Truly.
I just can't get over the fact that they thought I'd play into this bulshit.
You're only supposed to take more than one wife if you can treat them exactly the same, so I doubt the second fiddle thing is an issue. Unless I'm misunderstanding, it's more that this particular man is awful.
It's the fact that he knows me and still had the audacity to ask me that.
I'm 100% against polygamy. It's nit because I'm brainwashed by western philosophy, I don't care about western philosophy. But being from a Muslim country, I know the reality of polygamy.
This guy is tripping bad.
Also, the arrogance to think that I'd like to share him with another when he knows that other men are orbiting me anyway. Who does he think he is.
