I had a chat with Sarah. I thought you might like to know.
Cheers...
Actually I am a pretty contented person. If I don't do the 4 way split, I still split the money 2 ways with Lizzie.
Either way I will not hoard the money to myself. I probably spend on charity and buying more things.
I guess in my case I am financially unperturbed by money because Lizzie always makes sure that we have enough. That's why technically Lizzie gets the most. She already got the house and I will still give her a monthly allowance. So it is still a winning proposition for her.
You know where I am getting at? From that point onward we can already get legally married. However I don't think that is necessary. I like it this way. We are married in the eyes of God.
If we are legally married, I still need to give you money. This way I give you the money upfront and we still enjoy our freedom.
As I mentioned, marriage between soulmates need not mean sex. However based on mutual consent, we can still have sex.
Let's not make a big issue with sex. It should not be the excuse for us to get married. On the contrary marriage is not an excuse for sex either. To me sex and marriage are two separate issues.
Of course I want to have sex with my wives. However it should be a mutual consent.
I guess the issue here is I don't consider marriage as a family institution. I look at marriage as a bond between consenting adults.
Personally speaking, I want to legally marry you and Els. Unfortunately by the time I am financially able, I am already in my 60s. At that time I would rather we become good friends. I don't want the headache of starting a nest with a new family. I am no longer interested to go through parenting.
Since it is a House of Three, the three of us can look at being friends to one another.
Actually you and Els can join me in my training career; a profession that can last for a lifetime. That way we are all self-sustaining.
Honestly, why make our lives complicated? I am not setting any condition. The dowry is for me to marry you both for eternity. Since we all believe in the afterlife, then we should look forward to eternity.
In the meantime, we just enjoy each other's company. The dowry is the least I can do to affirm you both as my wives.
It's only money Sarah. You don't owe me anything. The time we spent together already justifies it.
Notice, I am not obligated to pay you anything. This is out of my own goodwill since I had decided to have all of you as my wives.
I will not commit it if I am not certain I can fulfill my promise. The reason is very simple. On a daily basis it's the three of you I spend most of my time. My wives are my best friends. Therefore regardless if we are married in the traditional sense, we are already sharing the same vessel traveling on the same path.
What's wrong then if I want to consummate my marriage by giving each of my wife equitable apportionment of what I earn 10 years down the *ro[pe] (road)? That is putting the money where the mouth is. It is not just lip service.
* Good. I'm glad you see it as such.
The condition is very simple. Because we believe in God and the afterlife, all I want you to do is agree to be married for eternity. Since this is a polygamy and polyandry model, we all are allowed to have multiple partners. This is a marriage between soulmates. We are among our spouses here when we decide to get married.
I could have ended there. However as your husband I want to be fair to all my wives. Since I planned to give Lizzie some money 10 years down the road, I might as well give you and Els the same amount, whatever the amount that is equitable then.
Trust me, I am a natural giver. There are even straight guys who fell in love with me because I am a relentless giver. There were occasions where I give my whole wallet to friends who needed money. Basically what I'm saying is take as much as you need. That is me. I enjoy giving. I keep on giving until I have nothing to give and still I give. I give until it hurts.
You know my story Sarah. I infaq 50% of my wealth when I was a millionaire. Now I still want to give but this time charity begins at home. You both are my wives *[t]as (as) much as Lizzie. I might as well give to you than a complete stranger.
* You welcome.
OK Sarah? I know you need a break. I am just getting mine. Your break will come. Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.
We Muslims believe for every dollar we earn there is an apportionment for other people. Certainly I had apportioned my future earnings to you, Els, Lizzie and the kids. I am only the conduit.
Always live below your means and live in gratitude. Say your thanks even if it is trifling.
Righto... Here it your lullaby:
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE FOREVER
Goodnight baby, I love you so much.
