Yes, it is very interesting to read how much most developing countries have in common. Polygamous men, close families and friends, etc. I grew up in a very similar environment and lived in it for 21 years until I came to the US and got spoiled. My father lived with several women and had 5 children total with a few of them (well, the ones I know of
). Women who live with such men know what is going on and in a lot of cases are actually friends with their other girlfriends. And, yes, my family and friends did not want to see me dating a foreigner (American man who became my husband). Most women where I used to live do it for money. There are a lot of con artists in my former country unfortunately. I guess that is why this subject is bothering me quite a bit.
Thanks!
