My Husband Wants a Second Wife but Says the Choice Is Mine. How Should I Respond?

My husband raised the subject respectfully and said he would do nothing without my agreement. I do not know how I feel. I am not angry, but I am afraid I will regret refusing and equally afraid I will regret agreeing. What have others experienced?

I went through the same situation. I took two months before answering. In the end, I said no, and my husband respected my decision. Take your time and do not rush.

A man who raises the subject respectfully is better than one who marries in secret. But you need to understand yourself: can you live with this in practice, not only accept the idea in theory?

Have a dedicated conversation and ask him one direct question: why? His answer will tell you a great deal about his intention and his character.
