Woman lives with husband and lover

A  Zimbabwean woman in love with two men came up with an unusual solution by getting both to move in with her, Daily Mirror reported. Maria Vogel, 33, originally from Bulawayo, now shares the family home in Barking, London, with her children Laura, 16, and Amy, 12 and the two men in her life Paul Butzki and Peter Gruman. Maria, was 15 when she met Paul in school and she fell pregnant with Laura two years later.

The couple got married before they had their second daughter, Amy, but the relationship hit a rocky patch in 2006. Maria told the Daily Mirror: “Paul was out of work for six months, and it put a strain on our relationship. The stress led to less sex and we grew apart. Although we carried on with life – cooking, cleaning, looking after the children, we’d lost our intimacy. The relationship was more brother and sister than a couple.”
