I live in Texas, and a lot of wealthy men from Mexico would have a wife and kids in Mexico, and also a wife and kids in Texas. It was considered admirable and pretty common...usually the families tactfully pretended they didn't know anything about the others...the wives made the guy pay for some nice things though...

@guilhermeromeiro903 These guys must have some romantic chops to attract and hold many women while they have to travel so much, not just for work, but for wives stashed here and there...I used to wonder if I would like that, since I had some opportunities when young to join a "herd", but...now I'm glad I didn't. I've been married for over 35 years now, and was lucky enough to pick a guy who I've been able to laugh with, which was really important to me. I DID used to tease him about having another family, since he's a sound engineer for a big basketball team and gone for many hours on extended concerts and stuff, so maybe someday I might find out differently! I think it would be pretty hilarious, to be honest😂😂😂

@GarrishChristopherRobin777 My dad was a classic "mad man" in the 60s in San Francisco when I was growing up. He really adored my mom, and was completely terrified of her temper (she was half native American and half french creole, very, very scary when really pissed), but that didn't stop him from being susceptible to beautiful women. He was very romantic looking and Irish, so there were tons of "accidental" affairs. I grew up thinking it was normal, weird parent behavior. I think my mom was almost proud of his glamour for other people, so I get how guys like that can juggle families, they just love harems, and all the excitement of them. I'm not saying I approve or anything, just that it was normal life for me, so I didn't condemn it, not knowing anything different.

He was at least an interesting guy, I bet he always made things exciting...

Reminds me of the 19th century explorer, Sir Richard Burton. He was in India, Africa and the far east and picked up many languages with ease, translating the Indian classic, "The Kama Sutra" for English audiences, which was instantly banned for years. He had several unofficial "wives" and then came back to England to marry his English wife, a devout Roman Catholic who never stopped trying to convert him. He went along with it, but everyone knew he didn't take it seriously. After his death, she destroyed his priceless library and burned all his papers and books to "prove" he was really a simple, religious catholic. Unfortunately, for her, she was wrong...

@temporaryname5761 ANYONE who can do that, deserves it!!! I spend a LOT of time making my husband feel happy, by listening, being interested, laughing and enjoying the great things we share interest in, I cannot imagine trying to travel the world and do that with multiple people!! Wow! If I could do that, I probably would! I like a bunch of people thinking I'm wonderful, who wouldn't?

I had a friend in Los Angeles whose dad married a few times and had kids with all of them...no one found out until the funeral, when they all showed up! It was a huge knock down, drag out over the grave, according to my friend. She was the "first" family, so she felt higher up than all the other families, but it was just confusing...papa was a rolling stone, wherever he laid his hat was his home!....
