The U.S. government began enforcing the act in 1887. Three years later, the Church of LDS ended the practice of polygamy and now excommunicates anyone who engages in it. It’s adultery, plain and simple. After our geographic separation, I spent twenty years “keeping the ends out for the tie that binds,” not realizing we had already tied the knot. (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:31)
I have never worn a ring for another, and I never will. If I get a fat settlement from all this, I hope we can immediately be together. Otherwise, I’ll go hole up in Coastal Connecticut or Lower Manhattan and restore my collection of vintage Macintosh computers, while I wait for you in this life or the next. Gotta be somewhere in the tri-state, within flowering distance. I will not take another.
