Mary Crumpton isn't your average 44-year-old ex-teacher/wife living a normal life. What a lot of people don't know is that Crumpton doesn't just have a husband. She also has a fiancé, and two boyfriends - and yes, they all get along quite well.

Mary says that she got married in her twenties and tried to settle down for life, but it just didn't last. "When the marriage didn't work out, I met someone else and started [another] monogamous relationship with him", she said. It wasn't until she was 29-years-old when she met somebody who changed her mind on the idea of her monogamous lifestyle.

"I married one of the people I first dated polyamorously. My husband, Tim, who is 43, and I got together in 2004 and were married in 2013", she explains. Relationships can be quite strange, and different from the 'norm', just like adult baby relationships.

Both men live with Crumpton, though John still has his own flat, and she stays with him once or twice a week. As with her other two partners - 63-year-old Michael and 73-year-old James - Crumpton interact with them just as any other monogamous partner would treat their significant other.

With polygamy still a legal culture in over 150 countries in the world, it is estimated that around three billion people around the world today still believe in the ideal.

Meet Mary Crumpton - the 44-year-old ex-teacher with a husband, fiancé and two boyfriends.

Mary explains, "Sometimes there might be a fear that a new partner is 'better' in some way than a current one, but good communication and offering reassurances allows that to be dealt with."

"One of the lovely things about a life with more than one partner is that there is no pressure on one person to supply all my needs.

Mary and her husband, Tim, were married in 2013 at Manchester Museum under the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"I have a partner, John, 53, who I have been with since 2011, and who I am planning to 'marry' this year. We can't legally marry, but we are having a full wedding-style commitment ceremony."

The 44-year-old says that the logistics of her relationships aren't really that hard to navigate at all.
