A Brazilian man who married nine wives together to “celebrate free love” and “protest against monogamy” has said that one of them has divorced him.
Brazilian model Arthur O Urso and his first wife Luana Kazaki formalised their union with the eight other women at a Catholic church in São Paulo.
Months after the marriage, one of Arthur’s wives, Agatha, decided to divorce the group.
“A few months went by and everything seemed so perfect, until the moment when one of my wives called me to talk. In short, we came to the decision to divorce,” Arthur was quoted as saying by Mirror.
He said, “She wanted to have me all to herself. It didn’t make sense – we have to share. I was very sad about the separation and even more surprised by her excuse. She said that she was missing a monogamous relationship.”
He added, “My other wives thought her attitude was wrong and that she accepted the marriage for adventure and not for real feelings.”
He said that he felt “cheated”.
“I know I’ve lost a wife, but I’m not going to replace her at the moment,” he further said.
Arthur created a buzz online last month after he said that he had created a timetable to spend time with all his wives.
However, following a timetable didn’t work out for Arthur as he often found himself thinking about his other wives
He then decided to let the relationship with all his wives flow naturally.
“It doesn’t take long to get attention or affection when you have that many wives,” he said.
Arthur insisted that his wives do not mind how often each of the wives gets to make love to him. However, he admitted that jealousy does creep in among the women occasionally.
He said, “When I have given one of them an expensive gift and another a smaller or cheaper one, there has been jealousy among them.”
The model added, “I’m still learning about our relationship.”
Arthur is planning to have children and said that it’s “first come, first served” as to which wife will conceive his child first.
