When mum-of-two Maria Butzki left her husband Paul for another man, she didn’t realise how much she’d miss him.
At the same time, she couldn’t imagine living without her new lover Peter Gruman.
So when the two
men struck up an extraordinary friendship, she came up with the perfect
solution... and moved Peter into the family home in Barking, East
London.
Now Maria, 33, Paul, 37, their two children, Laura, 16, and Amy, 12, and Peter, 36, live as one big happy family...
“People might think it’s weird but I love both men and couldn’t choose between them,” says Maria, a housing liaison officer.
Incredibly, the
men agree. Paul, a railway assessor, says: “Peter is a great guy. When
Maria first had the affair with him I was just heartbroken. But as I got
to know him, I realised we have so much in common. We both adore
fishing, and he’s like a surrogate dad to the kids.”
Peter, a
construction site manager, adds: “We all get on so well. It doesn’t feel
as if I’m sharing Maria. There’s no jealousy ...it feels as if we
area team.”
It was last year that they all moved in together after three years of Maria to-ing and fro-ing between her husband and lover.
Peter sleeps on the sofa while Paul has a room upstairs. Maria shares a bedroom with her eldest daughter.
