Do you support the legalisation of polyagmy and polyandry

[Reforged]

In my experience marriage tends to be nothing more than a legally binding contract that takes away some of the danger and the passion from the relationship.
If you love someone is it really needed that you make it a formal legal statement? No, of course not. Its simply a tradition, one I consider to be overrated and outdated regardless of who its to or how many people it involves.
Make of that what you will.

At your age, I am not surprised at your attitude, as the practicalities of the matter are far over the horizon for you. When you get to the age where you have to think about the legal issues affected by incapacitation and death, the legal benefits afforded by marriage become more apparent.

My mother married my father and got pregnant with me to gain a husband to support her and gain a father for my brother. In that case it was used like a holding pin. Neither of them appear content with each other and our family has never been what you would call happy.
My brother is ten years married with four kids and legally bound to a woman he despises. She does nothing. In that case marriage and the prospect of having a family was used to trap my brother like a love stricken animal. Hes since been utterly broken, his body and his mind have been systematically destroyed. He takes care of them by himself while she lazes on the couch and his backs slipped 4 discs through hard labor attempting to support them. If he attempted to divorce her he would likely lose his children, this means they are both legally and financially joined irrevocably.
My ex attempted to do the same to me, she was afraid I'd gain a backbone and see her for what she is. Her fears were justified, I had a lucky escape which I likely owe to my brothers example. She would of used my low self-esteem and fear of being alone to trap me.
My point is that my experience of marriage is at best negative. It made me responsible for keeping an unhappy family together, it lost me my brother and it would of claimed the rest of my life. I know good things can come from it, I just don't think it can ever come close to competing with the bad.

Bottom-line?
If you love someone, tell them and create a will. Don't shackle yourself to them.
