Three Wives One Husband (polygamy documentary)

[Lovely_rita]

This is a four part series where we visit a Mormon community in Utah.

It was pretty fascinating stuff. Like a whole other world. Anyone else seen this?

Ooh where did you find this?

I've seen this!! Though I watched it a while ago so my memory isn't very clear on what happens

I honestly felt so bad for the wives at certain points, there's clearly a lot of struggles at times and I just really don't think it's fair on them. It's always interesting to see how it's mainly the men who benefit from these sort of relationships, especially once you get religion involved

I will say I liked that they were within the same 'house' but not really, rather than like different houses completely. Though, I imagine it's really awkward to hear them having sex

Also, there's a bit of a very sad update about them:

Just started watching this with the initial thought must be a load of religious freaks but I can actually see some of the benefits. They love of the sister wives, caring and supporting eachother with their children's and family.
