There’s no discussion beforehand, no mutual decision, no actual desire for or attraction to another loving presence. The only driving force here is babies Doesn’t want kids? Better get a new one Had one miscarriage? New wife time At that point it’s not even polygamy, he’s just hoarding women

Someday, son, you will want to marry a woman. You want a woman who is beautiful. A woman who is smart. A woman who is wealthy. And most importantly, you must make sure that these women never meet. 🙄
Lady walks into the cell of a mentally ill woman who tried to murder her once before and shot her ex in the knee, just to taunt her about the very thing that set her off in the first place. Not going to say "she deserved that" or whatever, but when she said "I'm helping me" she ain't exactly lying. Makes it pretty funny to me.
Worse when they use it as some sort of twist or for ExTrA DrAmA...like...no? If it's something that is REALLY important set it up in the story beforehand (and DO. IT. WELL0 instead of making these things seem like they're NOT actual things that people live with daily???
I kid you not . . . the line "Whenever I meet a girl, my ovaries basically become like a boxing glove and I'm ready to beat her ass" had water coming out of my nose. I cannot breathe. Oh my god. I love this.
Man, I wish the plot twist was actually that Seth did have three wives but only Thursday knew about the polygamy. And he just manipulated everyone into thinking she's crazy. Because then all three women could dump him and get their own happily ever after
@Black Knight Fool A: I'm not a lesbian B: I didn't say they all end up together. Women can have a happy ending in fiction without being in a relationship
@Black Knight Fool how does criticizing a book make someone a "lesbian incel"? Because none of the issues brought up were about the fact that the narrator is attracted to men
but that turned out to be poison And than that reveal was revealed to have not been a real reveal but a fake reveal to hide the real reveal that the main character is the worst kind of unreliable narration.
I think it's supposed to be like a Mormonism thing?? There's the joke that Mormons make up like 95% of Utah's population and the stereotype that Mormon men have 10 wives, so I think it was trying to allude to that in some way. IDK though.
When I pick up a book called "the wives" it doesn't deserve rights unless it ends with the wives together and leaving their crusty husband to make pottery. It's the only valid ending
Three women with cottage core just vibing and living together. Growing plants in their greenhouse, kneading dough, painting and just living aesthetic 😭😭 a whole dream
@@jellyfishb3ans Women living together in a cottage with a greenhouse making pottery and kneading dough? Lesbianism is ALWAYS implied *aggressive finger guns*
I remember hearing about a man in a polygamist cult with 5 wives, and once his daughters started getting into their teens he started to realize how deeply abusive their church actually was. So he obviously wanted to get his family out of there, but that meant having to convince all of his wives to leave basically everyone they’d ever known, and he had to be incredibly careful because if anyone in the church figured them out they’d basically kidnap his entire family and he’d potentially never see them again. Like writing a thriller about polygamy is not hard in the slightest, that shit’s super intense in real life.
I think that story (or a very similar story) was in an episode of Escaping Polygamy; it was some off the wall stuff. That show is so good but so sad at the same time; a lot of these situations are so tragic.
i'm a minute into the video and i can already tell you the book would be 300% better if it ended with all three wives ditching him and becoming a polyamorous trio
EXACTLY!! And also without all of the mental illness and sexism mumbo-jumbo. This book can go directly into the trashcan, along with Seth after he got yeeted by the Whole Man Disposal Services
The whole idea is literally stolen from Girl on the Train. Woman with abusive, gaslighting husband gets obsessed with other women who he is connected to. One of them a perfect mum and housewife, the other career-driven and of course main girl also had a miscarriage/fertility issues. Only difference is that Girl on the Train was actually good lol.
Yeah, for real. It just decides to go in for the crazy woman thing when we were just hoping for some convoluted Mormon wives story. Sorry for that other guy, by the way.
The beginning of the book had a strong premise. What if thursday somehow found out the identity of one of the other wives (without her husband knowing) and finding out the other wife was brutally murdered. The police suspect the wive's missing husband. A mystery/thriller story about Thursday finding the identity of the other wives in order to warn/save them and slowly uncover her husband's real nature/job. It could be interesting to see her question her relationship, herself, and her sanity. What if the murdered woman isn't another wife at all? What if she's imagining things? (Spoiler: she's not) She has a dilemma of "Do I tell my husband? What if he's innocent and my paranoia ruins our relationship? What if it's true? Am I prepared to love a murderer? What if he hurts me too? Is he really capable of that?" The book already has themes of emotional abuse and gaslighting. They'd work well in a book like this too. Instead of woman hating eachother for no reason it could be about woman coming together to overcome their abuser.
Ok, but like, I highkey hate the message of this book. My cousin has had several miscarriges that were absolutely devastating and the whole “woman goes crazy after miscarriage” thing is disgusting. Thankfully, my cousin is fine now, but I’m still mad at the book. This should have gone on Wattpad, not through an actual publisher.
Funniest thing about this was when Seth mentioned he was a polygamist because he was "from Utah", probably referring to the Mormon practice of polygamy... which has officially been illegal ever since Utah was a state. Bigamy (having two wives) was just recently decriminalized from a 3rd degree felony (jail time) to just a fine. The author had literally no idea what they were talking about, just heard that Utah was Mormon, that Mormons were polygamous, and did no further research.
@@gracegiammarresi665 Actually, as a psychologist, that sounded relatively accurate. I've certainly seen much worse. Off the top of my head (and minimizing details to avoid HIPAA violations), I saw this client who wanted help to get his son out of drugs because his nephew was a bad influence, and had been in jail and now he (the client) was being targeted by the FBI. In reality, he didn't have any children, and was an only-son living with his parents, whom he'd hit sometimes. He truly believed his delusions. Obviously, that case was more fitted to med. magmt. than therapy, but it was still very interesting to assess. Yes, mental health patients are much more likely to be the victims of abuse than the perpetrators, but that doesn't mean they are not capable of violence. In fact, violent outbursts are a common symptom of schizophrenia when there's damage in the amygdala. So, this convoluted plot, actually sounds believable to me. Most patients are not like this, but some are. This is a book about one person, not about several mental health patients with varying degrees of functionality. Books are often about one strangely peculiar individual (or group), not about the average Joe.
And also I love how the flowers weren’t actually necessary, because the moment he steps into the house, she’s already on him. The dinner decorations weren’t even useful in any way.
Don’t polygamists try to have their partners live in the same place, or at least close to each other? Imagine how exhausting it must be to travel to different states EVERY WEEK. At least space it out to different months. How does he work? Does he ever get jetlag?
Portland and Seattle are north-south from each other, so jet lag wouldn't really be a possibility, but like. Three hours is still way too much. I've driven that far for a day trip but I can't imagine doing it every week.
I was hoping against hope that all the "wives" would get together and kill Seth, realize the worth of other women, then date each other, but I see they went the hallucination route instead. Okie dokie then.
That sounds like an interesting story. It could work to inform people about polygamy. First starting out with a bad, harmful version which people might first think of, but then showing a healthy, beneficial triad relationship. It could deal with female empowerment and discuss topics of abuse and healing
Agreed!!!!! The whole Regina blaming Thursday for her marriage ending thing, and Hannah being more concerned about Thursday than her husband cheating, just pissed me off. Yes both parties are to blame when someone cheats, but it’s Seth who betrayed them, why isn’t Regina trying to ruin Seth’s life instead of Thursday’s? And then to antagonize her after finding out she is crazy and had delusions about what was going on, what was she thinking? None of these women have any brains!
In school we learn about conflicts like man vs. man, man vs. self, and man vs. society But what schools aren’t teaching us is my favourite conflict: Cindy vs. the YA agenda
The author: "This book is about polygamy" The book: Actually it is not. Like did I understand that right? It wasn't polygamy, it was serial cheating in monogamous relationships????? Like that is not polygamy???
Me at the beginning: Oh so this is a story about a woman who is in a polygamous relationship that is not healthy for her. She is going to meet up with the other wives and together they will gather the strength to end things with their abuse husband. It will be about empowerment and show that her way of thinking (her only purpose being to serve her husband) was flawed, and came from emotional abuse and dependence issues and stuff. Me at the end: I have no idea what even happened in this story
lol, this is a pretty good summary. I think the story could have taken many interesting directions, but instead of getting to the bottom of her feelings inside this odd relationship, we are told that she's just completely insane. That's like writing a complex novel and then at the end the lead character wakes up from a dream.
This story is a perfect example of why I always hold out to say that it is the ending that makes a work. Interesting characters and a plot that seems like it can go somewhere isn't really hard when you compare it to the same thing except everything plays out masterfully and the end is satisfying. There's moving pieces here that could work and where our imagination takes us is proof the concept alone could be tooled with. But the author seems so set on the cheapest immediate payout with the only further focus allowed being to deny the reader any fair chance of actually predicting the "reality".
Can I just say, this author lowkey-no, highkey stole from that one Netflix movie called 'where is Monday?' it makes perfect sense. Only, I have to admit, the movie actually made sense. And it was less about libido and more about dystopia.
Yeah that movie was fucking wild The one of the only things I really remember from it was when one of the sisters took someone's disembodied fucking eyeball and used that to open a retina scan door.... *Shudder*
I know! like it totally perpetuates the 'crazy bitch' stereotype and I feel like this book would be back up for someone trying to gaslight someone else- like that sounds weird but it's almost like a 'crazy women think they are right but really they are delusional' kinda thing where the moral of the story is the men telling you that you are crazy and you can't trust your own judgement were right all along
Yes. Go look up the LDS young women's and relief society curriculum and talks. Internalized misogyny is a very good term for it. I think I can say that as someone who finally realized there was a better life outside of that at 28.
They are. Thursday is following the perfect Molly Mormon code. Then people in society start labeling it as really messed up, which it is. Then the rest who can hide the cult crazy a little better gaslight her and pin the sin on the donkey.
i mean "i grew up in utah" is shorthand for "i'm a mormon" so if i was going to try and justify polygamy in my shitty wattpad book i'd just go for the low-hanging fruit and be like "yeah they're mormons, they're from utah"
If he was written more charismatic and charming and manipulative in an interesting way (to read), the story would make so much more sense. Like a cult leader, you know?
Kool Benanz omg seriously?? 😂😂 I thought the husband just called them by the days of the week so he could keep track of them. Is that the names of the other 2 also? How did he manage to find THREE willing women to go along with this who HAPPENED to have named of the days of the week? 😂😂
@@superkamiguru4615 she's the only one actually named after a day (so then we can have the "game" he played with her as a plot point i guess). the other wives are Regina and Hannah
Ah yes, the pinnacle of polyamory, not knowing anything about your partner's partners and not being able to talk about it and letting your insecurities grow due to this! Nothing can go wrong!
@@quirkyblackenby Even most Polygamy the wives usually know about each other, meet, and talk. Polygamy is most commonly men who have multiple wives and religions where this is acceptable if not expected. While traditionally this has a lot of issues (it's religious history is full of women being treated like property) it's still very misrepresented here. Polyamory is usually more about mutual respective relationships and tends to be more balanced.
@@TheDawnofVanlife Polyamory isnt well balanced either it's the same shit without the legal obligations and far worser because they are 10 people that involved that the first 4 people don't even know about. One is poly relationship with commitment and the other one isn't.
OK theory: the author began writing it (like first few chaps) with the intent of the evil gaslighting husband angle and someone read it and predicted it and the author was like UGH having a predictable plot is the worst thing ever :/ so she just wrote a bunch of twists... and thats why there's no foreshadowing or anything and this totally inconsequential/confusing meeting in the beginning! Also was she ever a nurse? did she go to work??
@BuddyTino Thank you, and yes this totally true. There are plenty of shitty fanfics that are just for fun, but I've found plenty well written stories with intriguing plots and character development on fanfiction sites. They don't get enough credit, can't believe stuff like this is even published...
Small brain: Seth is a polygamist with many wives and Thursday is one of them Big brain: Thursday is Seth's only wife after his divorce with Regina and the polygamist thing is just her own delusions which come as a result of her miscarriage??? Galaxy brain: Seth was cheating with Thursday on both of his other wives *and* Thursday is delusional and imagining literally everything because of her miscarriage Truly a roller coaster from start to finish
As someone who's polyamorous and is in a very happy polycule, this hurts my soul. Like, my girlfriend has four other partners and there is no competition between us whatsoever. I'm friends with all of them and there's no "bouncing around" or whatever. I'm also trans and neurodivergent, so this entire book is just one big 'fuck you' to me, huh?
mood. I can do poly or mono relationships and like it's so misrepresented here. I get that it's polygamy but I still feel like even in that situation the women would like know each other and live together. like wtf
Besides the fact that none of this plot makes any kind of sense, I also don't understand the supposed wife schedule. Like they're Thursday, Monday and Tuesday because that's the days he's with them, but that's only three days. What the hell is he doing the other four? Working? Is he kicking it on the weekend with his bros? Also why would you bother to drive all the way to see Thursday and only stay for like the night? Seems inefficient.
Or like each could get five day week and he uses the weekends to travel I'm literally wasting brain cells figuring out a logical way for him to fuck three different wives but whatever
It kinda follows that nursery rhyme: Thursday's child has far to go (travels to the others), Monday's child fair of face (she was hot), tuesday's child full of grace (whatever that means)... I guess?? I kept waiting for Wednesday's child, full of woe.
Seth to Hannah: "Hey, that house you've been living in doesn't actually belong to me, and I wasn't planning on telling you until literally the day you had to move out, maintaining the lie until the last possible moment and giving you no time to prepare so that you would have no other options except to depend on me." Hannah: "Hmm, sounds sketchy, but, you're from Utah so I can forgive you."

@@Certifiedhellfire 😊 me too
I've read better stories from Wattpad
I wrote and posted a fanfic in one afternoon while recovering from wisdom teeth surgery, and it was much better than this book.
Him explaining his 'poligamy' because he's from Utah is just like when Lele Pons responds to everything with "I'm latina!"
"I'm Latina!"
"Lele, you just killed 500 people."
when cindy said “in utah you gotta get the puta” i actually cried laughing
I think it's supposed to be like a Mormonism thing?? There's the joke that Mormons make up like 95% of Utah's population and the stereotype that Mormon men have 10 wives, so I think it was trying to allude to that in some way. IDK though.
When I pick up a book called "the wives" it doesn't deserve rights unless it ends with the wives together and leaving their crusty husband to make pottery. It's the only valid ending
YES!!! I SUPPORT THIS
Three women with cottage core just vibing and living together. Growing plants in their greenhouse, kneading dough, painting and just living aesthetic 😭😭 a whole dream
Or if it’s lesbians XD
@@jellyfishb3ans Women living together in a cottage with a greenhouse making pottery and kneading dough? Lesbianism is ALWAYS implied *aggressive finger guns*
I remember hearing about a man in a polygamist cult with 5 wives, and once his daughters started getting into their teens he started to realize how deeply abusive their church actually was. So he obviously wanted to get his family out of there, but that meant having to convince all of his wives to leave basically everyone they’d ever known, and he had to be incredibly careful because if anyone in the church figured them out they’d basically kidnap his entire family and he’d potentially never see them again. Like writing a thriller about polygamy is not hard in the slightest, that shit’s super intense in real life.
That sounds more suspenseful and interesting than anything in this book...
Although calling it a book makes it sound way too legitimate
Watch the series Escaping Polygamy and you'll see it as it is in real life.
Damn..
That could have been an incredible thriller.
the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) is a great research topic if you like being sad
I think that story (or a very similar story) was in an episode of Escaping Polygamy; it was some off the wall stuff. That show is so good but so sad at the same time; a lot of these situations are so tragic.
i'm a minute into the video and i can already tell you the book would be 300% better if it ended with all three wives ditching him and becoming a polyamorous trio
AGREED!!!!!
EXACTLY!! And also without all of the mental illness and sexism mumbo-jumbo. This book can go directly into the trashcan, along with Seth after he got yeeted by the Whole Man Disposal Services
I swore it was gonna end with the girls ending up to together--
I'm dead 😂
WHAT I WAS THINKING
The whole idea is literally stolen from Girl on the Train. Woman with abusive, gaslighting husband gets obsessed with other women who he is connected to. One of them a perfect mum and housewife, the other career-driven and of course main girl also had a miscarriage/fertility issues. Only difference is that Girl on the Train was actually good lol.
Why does this book feel like it gaslights its own readers?
Yeah, for real. It just decides to go in for the crazy woman thing when we were just hoping for some convoluted Mormon wives story. Sorry for that other guy, by the way.
Super true

Random Promises
THAT WOULD BE AMAZING
Especially John Green That would be chaotic
The beginning of the book had a strong premise. What if thursday somehow found out the identity of one of the other wives (without her husband knowing) and finding out the other wife was brutally murdered. The police suspect the wive's missing husband.
A mystery/thriller story about Thursday
finding the identity of the other wives in order to warn/save them and slowly uncover her husband's real nature/job.
It could be interesting to see her question her relationship, herself, and her sanity. What if the murdered woman isn't another wife at all? What if she's imagining things? (Spoiler: she's not)
She has a dilemma of "Do I tell my husband? What if he's innocent and my paranoia ruins our relationship? What if it's true? Am I prepared to love a murderer? What if he hurts me too? Is he really capable of that?"
The book already has themes of emotional abuse and gaslighting. They'd work well in a book like this too. Instead of woman hating eachother for no reason it could be about woman coming together to overcome their abuser.
This is far better than 'she went crazy' twist.
Instead, why not you write it? Albeit different? For it seems very good and original.❤

I was actually thinking this would’ve been the plot since I briefly forgot that we have been warned that the plot makes no sense 😂

Ok, but like, I highkey hate the message of this book. My cousin has had several miscarriges that were absolutely devastating and the whole “woman goes crazy after miscarriage” thing is disgusting. Thankfully, my cousin is fine now, but I’m still mad at the book. This should have gone on Wattpad, not through an actual publisher.
i agree, it was so gross
To be fair, she seemed crazy before the miscarriage
In wattpad it might end up reported and deleted 😂

Funniest thing about this was when Seth mentioned he was a polygamist because he was "from Utah", probably referring to the Mormon practice of polygamy... which has officially been illegal ever since Utah was a state. Bigamy (having two wives) was just recently decriminalized from a 3rd degree felony (jail time) to just a fine. The author had literally no idea what they were talking about, just heard that Utah was Mormon, that Mormons were polygamous, and did no further research.
I refuse to believe this isn’t satire. There is no way someone wrote this without wanting it to be satire.
We love it when characters/people with mental health issues are labeled as crazy and dangerous! It's very cute and so woke! 💃
so cute and quirky!!
OH NO I CANNOT ------
I can’t this author clearly has no knowledge regarding mental illnesses
especially when those mental health issues are triggered by their piece of shit boyfriend ???? jfc
@@gracegiammarresi665 Actually, as a psychologist, that sounded relatively accurate. I've certainly seen much worse. Off the top of my head (and minimizing details to avoid HIPAA violations), I saw this client who wanted help to get his son out of drugs because his nephew was a bad influence, and had been in jail and now he (the client) was being targeted by the FBI. In reality, he didn't have any children, and was an only-son living with his parents, whom he'd hit sometimes. He truly believed his delusions. Obviously, that case was more fitted to med. magmt. than therapy, but it was still very interesting to assess.
Yes, mental health patients are much more likely to be the victims of abuse than the perpetrators, but that doesn't mean they are not capable of violence. In fact, violent outbursts are a common symptom of schizophrenia when there's damage in the amygdala.
So, this convoluted plot, actually sounds believable to me. Most patients are not like this, but some are. This is a book about one person, not about several mental health patients with varying degrees of functionality. Books are often about one strangely peculiar individual (or group), not about the average Joe.
And also I love how the flowers weren’t actually necessary, because the moment he steps into the house, she’s already on him. The dinner decorations weren’t even useful in any way.
its about SETTING THE SCENE
people keep asking Hannah for a tour of her house because she never got rid of the 'for sale' sign when they bought the place
reading this book is the equivalent to being gaslit by 6 different people with all different stories
THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE STATEMENT ABOUT THE BOOK
I WAS THINKING EXACTLY THIS
Better alternate plot twist: Thursday and Hannah realize they're both gay and leave Seth to start a new life together
thats what i said!
@Black Knight Fool who hurt you

And maybe Regina can join in too!
the three wives should have all just gotten into a polyamorous relationship without him and ran off into the sunset together-
*Facts* 💅💅

But before that they team up and kill Seth
No.
They should have not.
Running away from the abusive shit? Good.
Polygamy anyway? Bad. And sad. Hard to tell what more.
@@slevinchannel7589 I mean, the comment said polyamorous, polygamy.
Don’t polygamists try to have their partners live in the same place, or at least close to each other? Imagine how exhausting it must be to travel to different states EVERY WEEK. At least space it out to different months. How does he work? Does he ever get jetlag?
Portland and Seattle are north-south from each other, so jet lag wouldn't really be a possibility, but like. Three hours is still way too much. I've driven that far for a day trip but I can't imagine doing it every week.
@@incognitoburrito6020 3 hours is also REALLY generous, in reality it takes like 6 hours because traffic.
@@incognitoburrito6020
Not even every week, but every few days, since he visits each wife on different days.
Also imagine having to pay for all the gas for each trip😂
and expensive 😭😭
I was hoping against hope that all the "wives" would get together and kill Seth, realize the worth of other women, then date each other, but I see they went the hallucination route instead. Okie dokie then.
Emilie Chi Same- we all have too much gay optimism
Literally started plotting something like this when I got to the part about the bruises on Hannah’s wrist
That sounds like an interesting story. It could work to inform people about polygamy. First starting out with a bad, harmful version which people might first think of, but then showing a healthy, beneficial triad relationship. It could deal with female empowerment and discuss topics of abuse and healing
That's so *seen it all*
Agreed!!!!! The whole Regina blaming Thursday for her marriage ending thing, and Hannah being more concerned about Thursday than her husband cheating, just pissed me off. Yes both parties are to blame when someone cheats, but it’s Seth who betrayed them, why isn’t Regina trying to ruin Seth’s life instead of Thursday’s? And then to antagonize her after finding out she is crazy and had delusions about what was going on, what was she thinking? None of these women have any brains!
I refuse to believe Cindy didn't just buy the flowers for that joke

Like did I understand that right? It wasn't polygamy, it was serial cheating in monogamous relationships????? Like that is not polygamy???
This is THE worst way to do an unreliable narrator.
This was like if Wattpad and a Lifetime made a collab and I hate it.
Real question: IF lifetime were involved, would it have any chance of beating Cyber Seduction in the ranks?

but was he a furry?

i’m deeply concerned about the author. does anyone knows if she is okay? she desperately needs a therapist and some classes about feminism.
The irony of a woman with no interests calling Regina a bore
LMAO IKR
Right the disgrace on Regina George
Me at the beginning: Oh so this is a story about a woman who is in a polygamous relationship that is not healthy for her. She is going to meet up with the other wives and together they will gather the strength to end things with their abuse husband. It will be about empowerment and show that her way of thinking (her only purpose being to serve her husband) was flawed, and came from emotional abuse and dependence issues and stuff.
Me at the end: I have no idea what even happened in this story
lol, this is a pretty good summary. I think the story could have taken many interesting directions, but instead of getting to the bottom of her feelings inside this odd relationship, we are told that she's just completely insane. That's like writing a complex novel and then at the end the lead character wakes up from a dream.
This story is a perfect example of why I always hold out to say that it is the ending that makes a work.
Interesting characters and a plot that seems like it can go somewhere isn't really hard when you compare it to the same thing except everything plays out masterfully and the end is satisfying.
There's moving pieces here that could work and where our imagination takes us is proof the concept alone could be tooled with. But the author seems so set on the cheapest immediate payout with the only further focus allowed being to deny the reader any fair chance of actually predicting the "reality".
@@TecTitan It's just lazy when the last page reveals to the readers that she's insane and nothing we've been reading had actually taken place.

Yes. Go look up the LDS young women's and relief society curriculum and talks. Internalized misogyny is a very good term for it. I think I can say that as someone who finally realized there was a better life outside of that at 28.
Honest, the whole thing felt like everyone was gaslighting Thursday the entire book.
I wanna feel sorry for Thursday but her personality is just a Seth obsessed woman so nvm
They are. Thursday is following the perfect Molly Mormon code. Then people in society start labeling it as really messed up, which it is. Then the rest who can hide the cult crazy a little better gaslight her and pin the sin on the donkey.

Ah yes, the pinnacle of polyamory, not knowing anything about your partner's partners and not being able to talk about it and letting your insecurities grow due to this! Nothing can go wrong!
I think that people are confusing polyamory and polygamy.
Polygamy isn’t polyamory. They’re completely different
@@quirkyblackenby Even most Polygamy the wives usually know about each other, meet, and talk. Polygamy is most commonly men who have multiple wives and religions where this is acceptable if not expected. While traditionally this has a lot of issues (it's religious history is full of women being treated like property) it's still very misrepresented here.
Polyamory is usually more about mutual respective relationships and tends to be more balanced.
There are some perks to this sort of an arrangement though.
@@TheDawnofVanlife Polyamory isnt well balanced either it's the same shit without the legal obligations and far worser because they are 10 people that involved that the first 4 people don't even know about.
One is poly relationship with commitment and the other one isn't.
OK theory: the author began writing it (like first few chaps) with the intent of the evil gaslighting husband angle and someone read it and predicted it and the author was like UGH having a predictable plot is the worst thing ever :/ so she just wrote a bunch of twists... and thats why there's no foreshadowing or anything and this totally inconsequential/confusing meeting in the beginning! Also was she ever a nurse? did she go to work??

Besides the fact that none of this plot makes any kind of sense, I also don't understand the supposed wife schedule. Like they're Thursday, Monday and Tuesday because that's the days he's with them, but that's only three days. What the hell is he doing the other four? Working? Is he kicking it on the weekend with his bros? Also why would you bother to drive all the way to see Thursday and only stay for like the night? Seems inefficient.
If they were monday, Thursday and Saturday or something it would make more sense. One would get 3 days and the other two would get 2 days each.
Or like each could get five day week and he uses the weekends to travel
I'm literally wasting brain cells figuring out a logical way for him to fuck three different wives but whatever
It kinda follows that nursery rhyme: Thursday's child has far to go (travels to the others), Monday's child fair of face (she was hot), tuesday's child full of grace (whatever that means)... I guess?? I kept waiting for Wednesday's child, full of woe.
It would have been easier to have everyone live together
