‘I dated a married man after his wife gave her approval but only because I wasn’t prettier than her’


When Elizabeth arrived on her next date she knew what she was in for - he was a married man embarking on an affair - but she wasn't prepared for the spy in the corner - his wife who was there to 'vet her'

Fourteen years ago, she signed up to Illicit Encounters, a website that discreetly allows people to meet married individuals who are interested in extramarital meetups, claiming ‘marriages are happier as a result of affairs’. Having an affair is complicated - and Elizabeth has plenty of stories to share The travel consultant from the West Midlands explains: "I’ve had three long-term, exclusive relationships on Illicit Encounters, which would have continued but for circumstances beyond my control. I don’t know which scale she was using but I sat and thought for a few moments whilst the awkward silence clearly made him uneasy and then, before waiting to be graded, I explained that it simply wasn’t going to end well for any of us, excused myself and wished him well."
