well He was a king, he had wealth and power, he could provide a good home, stability, 3 meals a day, clothing, warm beds, a safe place to live and give them a lifestyle that was comfortable. Plus maybe being a king left him socially isolated feeling insecure and that most people only liked him for his power, wealth and influence and the only way to fill the social void was to have multiple wives.

I can only speak from my own perspective, but a woman's period is highly individual.
I used to date a guy who actually said I was nicer during that time. I've always felt very blessed in that I don't think mine have ever been quite as bad as some women experience, but there are some times when the stomach pains are so severe, they wake me up at night.
However... It leaves me feeling weak and vulnerable, which in turn, heightens my awareness -- and often, empathy -- of those who are feeling weak and vulnerable as well.
Is it pleasant? No. But it's something God uses to remind me of how reliant I need to be on Him (especially when I'm praying for Him to either get rid of the pain or just help with gritting my teeth and getting through it.)
However -- once again, this varies greatly from woman to woman.
And we ladies appreciate a guy who is willing to listen to -- and empathize with our pain.
Kudos to you for taking the time to listen to your friend!

Well I assume it's personal and not something women usually speak publically about. But that does make sense. really? that is quite interesting. Oh ok, interesting. I see, ok.
good to hear, Thanks, It was the guys she was sleeping with I didn't want to hear about while she was trying to get me to spend money to travel to see her every month. I am wondering if maybe my single status at this stage is a sign from God I should be working on my Bah Humbugs for Christmas lol.

And the fact of the matter is- considering there are still women doing this today- that is all some women want. Those mormon-wives... according to them, they appreciate the longer intermissions between interactions with their husband. I'm not saying I think modern polygamy is the right idea in any way shape or form; but that's just the way it is.
I rather try than not try whether it's bad the rest of my life. This girl iv had lied me in with a scam all of it was lies of year on the phone. When I met her it was sucking parents is slander over and over after me for no reason to no good reason at all. Left the first almost left her for good. She lured me with all lies of being sorry after two year later after that. Travel 1700 mile back to try to make a life with her I came back and was 1000 time worst. From the start list her virginity Slander me found 6 year later was to be with her freind have threesome with boy friend put me jail 5 years of pure hell I was scare of prison but be there would have been alot easier life . yet I know prison would be easier I could deal some one trying to kick my ass but constant fear and rage of being kind and not deserve this and be stuck 5 on probation multi multi times of wicked from not just her and her parents but the law the new friends I though were friends but thought they were to much to put here. No sex no life live in woods help but the people that put there in the first. If I didn't see jesus when I was 3 I probably see me on the new of good person turns bad and id Chanel. But my point is I believe we miss the whole big picture of what there LORD showing us is my love for my baby cakes and how much I want to be love by her. Is all the bad that our father feel towards us going to the extreme and no one caring for all they do for some. My whole feel nothing but terror before and after meeting her. I'm trying to fix my major problem of people are trying to fool me over even when there not which some do even or of my over defenceness. Not because I'm paranoid but it reality its real happen me. But I she to ask my self was it worth it? And yes ( many time I thought no) but yes because I would have never know to relate or have a better understand of true love that the father has for us. A new thing is Look at every problem and connect to dots and you will see we treat the lord just like the people we complain and rage about that treat us bad. In some shape or form
This sort of thing has happened to a lot of people. It's definitely not right; but it happens. Y'know what? Jesus loved a bunch of people that basically treated him like trash. Even died for them. It's a hard lesson. I'm not even really sure I'm there yet. Probably not. But just like some people will never believe in Jesus- they're not going to believe in you or me either. Let's save our affections for the Christian ladies that deserve it.
I think polygamist women are mentally conditioned into it though. Often times, there is jealousy (understandably so) and strife amongst them. They learn to suffer in silence and are told to "stay sweet" any time they struggle with the complexities that polygamy brings. I'm amazed there are still even be polygamists in 2024 honestly.
