Good morning from Texas! My family set-up is: my father, my mother (his wife), his “main” girlfriend and 2 “secondary” girlfriends which get changed usually every 2-3 years. Yes, we all live together in the same house - though it’s a big house - so it doesn’t feel crowded. It’s not a religious thing at all, we’re atheists.

    You say there’s a hierarchy. By that you probably also mean a ranking order among the women in terms of interactions that don’t involve your father?

    I assume that your mother being the “chosen one” seems fulfilled in this arrangement? What about the main and secondary girlfriends?

      I’m sorry but I don’t really understand the first question. Could you please clarify? Thanks. Yeah, she seems and looks fulfilled and is very happy. The main and secondary women also seem pleased. In my opinion it’s because dad is a no nonsense straight to the point kind of man, so they know what their “place” is from the start. The main one knows my dad won’t divorce or whatever and the secondary ones know they are to be replaced eventually; from the very beginning. So you either take the deal or move on.

        Thanks for the response. I took the hierarchy to mean there’s a ranking order starting with your dad and ending with the secondary girlfriends. But do the women amongst themselves in a vacuum also have/need a hierarchy or do they consider each other equals?
