Question

I have a doubt.

I know there are a lot of people who hate Harems, obviously since it's fantastic, and I think so too. I know that there are few situations where your partner is willing to allow an extra person in their relationship, I am talking about both men and women, and generally it only happens in social situations where one of the two people has a lot of power (social, moral and political) over another person.

Here comes the question.

Do you think that the situation of having a Harem can happen in real life? And I mean where there are real feelings.

I sincerely believe that it cannot happen, and it is for two reasons. First, a perfectly rational person would not allow their partner to maintain that type of relationship, because it would be showing that from the beginning their feelings were not real or that there was only an attachment or affection but not love. Second, I think that humans and animals in general, are very resentful, and even vengeful. So the mere fact of finding out that your partner's feelings are different from yours could generate feelings like resentment or perhaps having thoughts of revenge, even if it is unconsciously.

All this due to our nature.

On the other hand, I know that there are certain situations where a person can manipulate, persuade or coerce another person, thus achieving this type of relationship. There may also be the situation where there is some kind of sudden factor, such as a dependency on a person due to some trauma.

And there may also be the case where one of the people in the couple realizes that the other is cheating on them, and due to an emotional attachment or perhaps fear of loneliness, they allow a kind of indirect Harem to occur.

And on the other hand, there is the case of fiction, where it shows people who are extremely in love with each other and who somehow end up giving in to the desires of one of them, thus forming a harem.

One of the cases that also exists is the one linked to economic need or perhaps material interests. Where all parties live together accepting a sort of binding agreement to those needs. This is more common than you think.

One of the cases that I hate the most, and that is happening lately, is the normalization of this type of feelings and roles in the relationship, just because of a different gender identity. It's just garbage.

In the case of this novel, there will be a harem, but it will not work as it is commonly seen, since for obvious reasons the characters involved in this type of relationship do not have enough time or the necessary comfort to even think about it much.

The characters and their attachments will be for different reasons. Such as: Emotional dependence due to being exposed to trauma, fear of being alone, due to material or survival needs.

The funniest thing of all is that although the novel will have a harem, and you can see in the first chapters that the character is close to some female characters, the real romance will not happen until later. We will see situations of romance, very slight indeed, but technically they only happen in dreams, which are a "Vision of the Future" (O.O it can't be what he said. Yes, I said it).

[A/:N I have more chapters but nobody new comments anything hahaha]
