Not true
There are men in polygyny that don’t have wives in the same state, much less the same house.
Leaving the house doesn’t equal leaving the marriage.

How did you get idea I was talking about leaving housing? Only topic was leaving marriage.
Let’s go back to your original statement.
It isn’t true.
Men sometimes live in polygyny even if one of the wives don’t consider it good.
No, if she stays it only means she considers staying better than leaving. Then real question is how much more worse situation has to become before leaving.
You keep stating your opinions as facts.
May you never have the actual experience.
They are facts, pure and simple.
Person can either stay or leave relationship. There is no third option.
All relationships, including love, business, parent/child can be broken because they become bad enough.
I do know case of daughter cutting of her mother.
I agree, but that’s not what you said.
I’m done feeding this beast.
Staying consistent is only good if you are consistent in light of the truth. In His prayer Jesus prayed saying, "Your word is truth." You have repeatedly argued your logic and common sense are better than the truth. Chage would therefore be most advantageous.
Scripture is clear that Christian marriage is a permanent for life relationship.
If one is just going to do what one wants to do then it really does not matter what scriptures say then, right?
Since, for some, logic and common sense trumps Scripture (which you shouldn't even be reading, if you believe some poster's!), it really doesn't matter what Scripture says. And if you don't read your Bible you won't know what Scripture says anyway. So who cares...

I never commented on morality of behaviour there. Only what behaviour will be.
Practically 100% of times I'm able to justify my positions with Scripture.
You are behaving as monogamy-only person. No matter what type of proof I use, you still pretend you are 100% right.
And Lord is also God of common sense and logic. He build them.
And certainly He is able to understand implication of applying common sense and logic to Scripture. He certainly did count some people using those tools to better understand faith. I'm certain some misteries can only be understood using logic.
By the way, are you claiming that Bible can't understood with logic and common sense in any way? So only insane (ie. uncommon sense) and morons (lacking logic) have any chance of understanding something?
Did you understand this universe is built on basis of math logic? So what is your beef with building tool of our Lord?
You are also missing greatest usage of logic with Scripture. If something is illogical, then this is sign of lack of understanding, but also of writer's BS in text.
Basic logic tell us that if Lord doesn't change (by His Own words) and if He was OK with polygyny in Old Testament, then it can't be that New Testament establishes monogamy-only. It's forbidden by logic. So here is basic proof of either translators tampering with Scripture and/or some teachers not getting theology right.
Scripture must be internally consistent with zero fails. Anytime there is inconsistency in Scripture there only three possible options:
1) Bl...y fun....ng tanslators "improving" Scripture again
2) Some BS theology is blinding you by teaching you wrong
3) Not understanding enough Scripture to be able to "shine light" on current passage.
@MemeFan frequently approaches these issues from the standpoint of practical application and what the average person is likely to do and why.
Many of us are much more focused on the theological and occasionally metaphysical reasonings behind what we believe.
The former approach is more likely to sway the greater number of people.
