First
Undecided.
not really
it kinda bothered me at first, but i've just come to accept it, even though i do not believe in polygamous relationships in real life.
where's the "I really don't care." option?
and no
Nope.
I believe in polygamy and think it should be legalized in the Cultural West.
i'm waiting for the day when he tells all three "that dress makes all three of you look fat"
*NM*
*NM*
Nope.
If there's a world where women can throw fireballs around, men will go crazy from doing magic, and a Trolloc will talk to a sheepherder why can't a man have three women that he loves love him?
Nope.
I just think he's stupid, but I don't have much against polygamy.
Yes
Yes, but only because I don't think they have a relationship that seems healthy or balanced. I have no problem with polygamy, but it seems to me that Aviendha and Elayne only love Rand because the story required them to love Rand.
I'm more weirded out by Elayne's instant "I love you, let's have babies"
Honestly none of the relationships are that well developed. Avidenha's is probably the best, and Min's is ok...
but Elayne's is literally:
"I saw you once when you fell in my garden. I love you now."
"I made out with you for less than a week in the Stone. We will be married one day."
*one year later*
"Quick, make love to me! Oh... you have to leave the next morning? OK... Oh look, I'm pregnant."
That is literally all the contact they have had.

I'm resigned to it being part of the story...
...but the actual practice is a terrible idea.
