Why is it that in my Caribbean community there seems to be a lot of men in relationships with more than one woman? Is it something that we’re born with or are we just greedy? Think about it.
From the beginning of time, men have had relationships with multiple women, e.g. Samson, King Solomon, the Great Noah albeit in Noah’s case his wife gave him a concubine. Nonetheless, all of these great men were men of God.
Speaking for myself, I was one of those men – a juggler of many relationships. One woman wouldn’t do. In my twenties the motto was if the attraction was mutual then we had to get it on.
I don’t know if it’s because I grew up in a single-parent home (my mom raised me) or if I was just innately a womanizer.
My younger brothers on the other hand, who grew up in a two-parent home, were the opposite. My father and their mother raised them. They favored monogamous relationships, which made me laugh. I’d ask if they were crazy.
Could their upbringing be the primary reason why they favored monogamy? What do you think is the reason many men tend to have multiple relationships? – MP
