The power dynamic is usually discussed in BDSM terms, but I'm talking real life, not a game. Most Christian wives that I know see themselves as head of the house, their husband as another one of the kids, & the argument against poly is "no man can serve two masters".
Scripturally speaking, this is the EXACT opposite relationship that a New Testament husband & wife should have. "Wives, submit to your husbands." 1 Cor 7:1 & other passages refer to husband to wife as a 1:many relationship while wife to husband is a 1:1 relationship. These are the same as used to describe a master to slave (1:many) & slave to master (1:1).
Satan makes us think of ourselves as masters & free instead of slaves. Some will likely object to me bringing up the Bible at all. We naturally want to be free of all rules, all standards, & all external inhibitions to our innate desires.
The truth is you're afraid. Fear makes you seek to control every aspect of your life &, failing that, to control every aspect of your SOs life to fall within your realm of 'normal'. Odd, isn't it. We rebel against being a slave by enslaving others. We rebel against fear by buttressing our fears & making ourselves more fearful. Today, you're afraid of him having sex w another woman, then it's talking to other women, then it's looking at other women, then it's thinking about other women. Are u feeling in control & I afraid, yet? Nope.
Your imagination drives you into the nuthouse in fear that he might be unfaithful to the high degree of slavery that you've reduced him to. Where's the happy, handsome, adventurous man you fell in love w? Trapped in chains trying in "FALSE LOVE" to yield to your every whim & fear. If he truly loved you, he'd stand up & be a man to your insanity before u destroy both of you. Love does what's BEST; it doesn't just do what you ask for. The path your walking isn't best. It's suicidal.
So, new copypasta?
