A married couple have now become a 'throuple' after the nursery worker wife fell in love with her colleague. Megan Ripley and her husband Sean were happily married for six years when she met Louise Jackson.
The nursery nurse, 30, struck up a friendship with Louise, 22, at work in July last year. Mum-of-one Megan decided to introduce Louise to Sean, 33, and they also hit it off. Two then became a three.
Louise now gets called 'mum' by the couple's three-year-old son William and might have her own child with Sean in the future. She shares a king size bed with the married pair, who go out on dates as a threesome.

Megan, from Market Weighton in York, said: "I had never heard of a throuple before. I didn’t even know it was possible to be in love with two people at once. But when I met Louise it all changed, we instantly had a spark.
"However I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want to ruin our friendship as we had become best friends. Eventually I introduced her to Sean following a night out and they got on like a house of fire too."
Megan said she could not fight her feelings for Louise anymore so told Sean. To her surprise, he confessed that he had feelings for Louise too.
"We never thought we would introduce someone into our relationship. But it just made sense with Louise so we were elated when she said she feels the same", Megan added.
She said: "Our relationship has moved fast but we are also taking it slow. Louise stays at ours for one week and at her parents the other.
"Eventually, she will move in though and perhaps have a child with Sean. At the start, I was against this idea but now I would be honoured if she wanted to extend our family with my husband."
The trio tend to share a super king bed and go on dates as a threesome. Megan said: "We go on one to one dates or all together, it depends how we feel and try keep it fair to eradicate jealousy. We do get jealous sometimes but we are only human.
"But to try and prevent jealousy, we always make sure we tell each other if things are turning sexual. For example, if I am at work and they are at home, they will text me to let me know things are going that way. So then at least I know they are thinking about me.
"It doesn’t kill the moment, it makes it more special. We also have to be open to hearing about the jealousy and speaking about it."
Megan praised her family and friends for being supportive of the relationship. She added: "We have only received positive comments. People are happy as we are happy.
"It’s great because Louise shares interests that I don’t have with Sean and vice versa. Sometimes, we may get the odd stare when we are in public and all holding hands but most of the time it is fine."
