What’s your definition of “destroy”?Of course, they can make your life miserable but if you and your first wife are solid, they cannot destroy you.

To “utterly destroy your household” they would have to destroy your relationship with your first wife.What’s your definition of “destroy”?
Could be, but all analogies fail at some point. I don’t read that much into it. Besides, many will fail to make the Bride.

I have spent time in jail unjustly because of the machinations of a woman.I could tell you my story, Steve, but I doubt you would believe me. My wife said that if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes she wouldn’t have believed it. Let’s just say your life can be destroyed even if you and your first wife stand together. There are a good number of men in our prison system, as we speak, who are there for a crime they didn’t commit. How do you think they got there? Wrong place, wrong time? Nope, those are the rare cases, most of them are there because of false allegations. I came within a gnat’s rear end of becoming one of them.

should that apple be thrown into the mix--regardless of how sweet, juicy, or red it looks.
@steve have you ever heard of “family court”, CPS, restraining orders, “parenting plans”, the various and sundry “women helping women” organizations?
Ummm....can I get this apple’s phone number?!?! I’ll fix THAT!!!
In all seriousness, I couldn’t agree more. I’m blessed with two amazing, wonderful women, @Sonshine and @Sparkles. This journey has been crazy, difficult, and challenging enough as it is, and that’s with non-sociopathic women that love God and are learning to seek Him first and foremost. I’ll pass a thousand times on the sweet, juicy, red sociopath, no matter how sweet the juice appears to be. Whether it’s drama, problems, strife, contention, or utter destruction...no thanks. I’m sure some, all of that, or any combination thereof is a possibility with the wrong person being added to a family. After adding a second...all we’ve been through together (and it’s only been a year into this journey), the growth we’ve all experienced individually, as husband and wife(s), as “sister wives”, and together as a family, it makes me even more cautious adding someone that could possibly throw a wrench into what is becoming a well running machine (thanks to God). He’s done an amazing work in and through us, not going to let some sweet apple come along and spoil the whole cart, because I definitely see it as being a possibility with the right “wrong” person.
As for “fixing”, that’s absolutely true of me. As much as I have a heart for women, maybe even the sociopaths, my home and family isn’t the place to “fix” one of them. As @rejoicinghandmaid said, I’ve got an cart full of apples that have been entrusted to me by One MUCH greater and to whom they truly belong. Not taking a chancing in letting them spoil by introducing a bad apple to the bunch. Just my personal stance on that.
Anyhow, what started as a funny comment somehow turned into me typing too much...not sure if it fits into the theme of this thread, but...whatever.
Adios!
Visitation time, conjugal visits, lone wife working like crazy just to pay for food for your children (if CPS didn’t take them away) and the ever growing attorney bills.. sounds like utter destruction to me, despite the first wife sticking by his innocent side.Let’s just say your life can be destroyed even if you and your first wife stand together.

I totally agree also, and thanks @FollowingHim for your wisdom in seeing the need and taking the lead!All in favor for moving the rabbit trail to a new thread to keep the OP on what it should be about, say “I”. @

Sounds like a step in the right direction. I dare say they won't take it far enough! Guess we should be thankful for even baby steps in the right direction.Full investigation on the abuses of Child Protective programs nationwide, eliminating incentives for separating families
