I can't imagine the person I'm in love with and married to having sex with another person. Majority of the children probably get neglected from there father cause he has a dozen other kids to raise plus balance a full time job. What if the women in the polygamy wanted more than one husband? I bet that wouldn't fly to well with him. Most of the women I've seen in polygamy families are unattractive. (No offense).

Wrong, or at least to some extent.
To us and our society it's wrong because of what we learned in the bible/other religions books/rules. There's nothing that would stop us from polygamy other than moral doubts. However, in some 3rd world countries that have strong religious influences there are legal ways to avoid the prohibitions and punishments that were set to polygamy.
Why did I say wrong? Because it's not really nasty, unnatural or anything. Many tribes in Africa must start this way and the explanation is rather simple: one african guy and one african girl might have 10 kids in 10 years, maybe less. One african guy with 10 african girls after 10 years= a lot of babies. It's useful, it's healthy and it's good.
I think in most cases, in western socities that allow it, it's ok: as long as everything and everyone involved in it feels alright.
I think that other socities that have different but "right" reasons to do so are free to do so.
Also, I don't get opinions of it beign unnatural, wrong and whatnot. Eventhough they're different, I think the same moral dilema (or whatever you want to call it) should appear in recent exagerated promiscuity and _______. To me it's just having double standards: it's wrong if you have more than one wife but it's ok if you have sex with tons of different women. To some (maybe most) getting laid as much as possible is a goal in life...
