Where did you get this idea? It's shown in the Bhagavata
Purana (the primary history of Krishna's pastimes) that Krishna
did indeed have 16,108 wives, with separate households for each
of them. Narada Muni is said to have visited them in Dvaraka and
saw that Krishna was simultaneously with each of his wives, and
gawked in amazement when he saw this sight. Furthermore, Krishna
had children with each of his wives, so they weren't just
wives in name only (as some modern teachers have suggested).
