Also married a Muslim

The overwhelmingly vast majority of Muslim men in America don't pursue the idea of having more than one wife. I've heard there are some highly extreme Muslims in large Muslim communities who do take one legal wife and two to three illegal wives (mistresses). This practice is substantially more common in Mormon communities. My own grandfather was a Mormon who supported the practice as normal and even holy. In America a married man who has sex with a woman other than his ONE wife is comitting adultery, and that's grounds for a divorce. As we know, adultery in America is a hugely prevalent problem, regardless of religion. I was previously married to an agnostic man who couldn't stop sleeping around. I had to kick him to the curb. If my Muslim husband cheats on me, he'll find himself on the same curb.
Adultery is a MAN problem,not a Muslim problem.
