“The shock for many second wives begins when they get in and realise that contrary to what they expected or were told, the first wife is not a problem and she is even a positive force to be reckoned with in the marriage.
Inferiority complex triggers insecurity and now they feel it’s a competition.
Go into polygyny if you desire but don’t go in thinking you are the special one to save the husband from a bad first wife. Husband is fine and knows what he’s doing.”
