[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from a country where mistresses/“second wives” are common, at least among the wealthy, and even somewhat socially accepted. Recently I attended a domestic conference where one of the higher profile speakers brought a guest who appeared to be his mistress (she was certainly not his wife). They engendered quite a bit of gossip at the conference, whereas in my country of origin most people would just shrug. As the saying goes, “not my circus, not my monkeys,” but I thought it was interesting - and bold of the couple who are both American - to say the least, and was curious what DCUM (particularly those born and raised in the US) might make of this.[/quote]b

I’m a white American, but I married into a culture like the one you describe and have entirely adopted that attitude. Some of my American friends are appalled (or pretend to be) but others have confessed they also don’t place a high priority on physical monogamy but keep quiet about it to avoid judgement. No one would ever do something outrageous like bring a girlfriend to a wedding though - part of the deal is that you don’t publicly embarrass the family in such ways.[/quote]

By entirely adopted, your spouse has second wife or mistress?[/quote]
