We bought our current house back in 2012. Back then, Mr Husband was very diligent in mopping the house, wiping the fans and cleaning the porch. Due to our growing family and added responsibilities, those tasks were not executed frequently anymore but he has shifted his focus into doing the laundry and taking out the trash.

Recently, Mr Husband bought another house roughly 10km away. It was located in a gated residence, definitely bigger than our current abode. He said it could be like a ‘homestay’ or somewhat like our ‘country home’. Which was fine because our life was certainly not built around that house. The kid’s schools and our workplace were quite a distance from it. This explains why I wasn’t that keen to perceive that house as a possible main home. Furthermore, I was bothered by the thought of how I was going to clean the house. To me, it’s alright to clean on your own if you have a single-storey home but once it upgrades into a double or triple-storey house – you need to have helpers for each level. Even if the lady of the house is a housewife!

Why am I talking about a house under the topic of polygamy?

It was because recently a guy who owns a Tesla went viral for his intentions to practice polygamy. Well, he’s already married with his second wife. Perhaps to him, it was something he could afford to do. Perhaps he has not read this Facebook article, the non-religious part of polygamy, of how hard it can be to handle two wives. There have to be two of everything so that each wife could have the same experience. Each wife gets a London trip experience, and each wife gets the same handbag, the same kitchen pantry etc. Tak penat?

Not to mention the jealousy that comes with it. I mean when my husband bought this new house – I got jealous of the house because he spends almost every weekend there. I had to find my own joy by surfing Youtube videos, visiting my sister and strolling at the mall or something to buffer the jealousy. And it’s just a house! In polygamy, that also means two houses to sort out, clean and maintain. Two sets of in-laws with different qualities and needs.

Tesla man is fortunate that his first wife consented to the marriage. If it was up to me, I’d demand for a divorce first. I later learned that after the union, he is promoting a product that is supposed to enhance male performance in séxual relations.😑 Apeda
