There was a guy who worked on an oil rig complex for the same company as me in the Persian Gulf who led a similar 'double' life. He was a pom and he convinced the wife 'back in Blighty' he worked three months on the rig and one month off, where he actually worked one month on one month off. In his 'other' month off, he had found himself a second wife in Thailand and convinced her of the same. So, basically he was doing month on the rig, month in the UK, month on the rig, month in Thailand. He kept this going for ten years with the help of his back to back, who knew the schedule and if wife #1 called whilst he was with wife #2 he'd say something along the lines of "Oh he's out on the rig somewhere, I'll get him to call you". All this went outstandingly well - the story was well known to all 5,000 company employees, until the day his back to back retired and he didn't get the opportunity to have a full handover with the 'new guy'. It's winter in the UK and your man is away in Thailand when UK wife rings up desperate because the water pipes have frozen and cracked and then thawed and now she's got water everywhere. New guy responds.... "He's in Thailand with his wife!" 😱🤦‍♂ then 💔💔

There was a tv show about this Mrs Wilson.The actress Ruth Wilson played her grandmother who was one of Alexander Wilson's wives.

This kind of behavior has always been interesting to me, trying to understand where such a pathological need arises from. My mom was the youngest of 3, and her dad was a former paratrooper and truck driver who was on the road an average of 3 weeks at time. My mom was an adult when she found out she actually had a little brother. She reached out and they got to know each other and, through conversations with him, she learned that some of the time her dad was supposed to be on the road, he was actually with his other family. It was a shock, but my mom took it well. She was just glad that her little brother got to have his dad around some, too, even if it was less than ideal for all involved. My grandfather was a man's man with a charisma and air about him that drew people to him. Everyone either loved him, respected him, or both.

[@lightforce4604]

It is not a secret that men are known to be naturally polygamous! Strict monogamy for men is a rather modern practice.

@@lightforce4604 Biologically men are motivated to spread their seed as much as possible for greater genetic diversity. But I feel like that's somewhat removed from maintaining secret lives with additional families. The two things are related, sure, but 1 is an underlying drive rooted in the primal "reptilian" brain, while the other is very much consciously driven. There definitely seems to be a correlation between "adrenaline junkie" types and having secret lives, for obvious reasons. Of course, that's not to say that some amount of it isn't just men who get caught up in the consequences of those primal desires and opt to do the right thing while attempting to not upset the status quo. Regardless, I'm always intrigued by people who think or behave in a manner completely foreign or counterintuitive to me.

[@lightforce4604]

@ Its not that complicated dude! He had to hide it because the social norms have changed! In the past adrenaline junkie or not many men constantly practiced polygamy. And they didn't keep it a secret because it was acceptable then. You still see this practice amongst African American and Latino men! The wives simply pretend to be in denial of one and another. I'm of the opinion that if the man has the ability to take care of the families then he should be allowed to do so.

He went along with it, but everyone knew he didn't take it seriously.

@Safwaan would they? You can only find someone online if you are looking, and if you dont know the alias used, its very hard to look.

[@averagejoe9040]

@Safwaan happens all the time and people just dont know about it. You use fake names, and avoid making any national headlines with those fake names. Granted, having legal marriages with fake identities would be a little tricky. But assuming you could get credible fake documentation, there's no reason you couldnt. In the US it would actually be pretty easy since states almost never communicate stuff like marriage certificates with each other. In fact, if you managed to get as far as having multiple marriages when you died, they probably never would find out. 3 out of the 4 families would put out missing persons reports and probably never find out what happened to you.

@Safwaan Some people withdraw from social media and if he convinced all his wives that he was a spy and that they shouldn't upload any of his pictures online, he could remain undetected.

[@000petar000]

@Safwaan Not really, there are many gullible women out there. Being a spy is also a very easy thing to lie about, since you are supposed to not be able to reveal much information, as long as you travel around and can send a picture back or two every month and weekly messaging, you could also tell her that sending more pictures or daily communication isn't possible or would compromise you and so on. Also it becomes different once you make children, you would have higher chance of keeping your woman or wife at that point even if you have a long distance relationship just because they wouldn't want their children to not have a father and they will feel more attached to you, same goes with marriage.

@Safwaan No one is saying that it isn't a shitty move, this guy in the video was also a really bad person, he left his first wife completely for so many years before he died. Probably because he didn't have money for all of them and the wives he spent time with, he was away for half a year or a year while visiting the next one in a cycle. If you have wife/family and you are missing for a long time like that, whether he sent money or not doesn't matter, when they needed him, he wasn't there.

4 wives? That means 4 mothers-in-law. Now imagine if he got drunk. Instead of seeing 4 mothers-in-law he'd see 8!!!!! A fate worse than death for sure.
