Meet the People Who Cheated on their Partner… On Christmas Day

Love has no boundaries, but whether you’d call the following adulterers hopelessly romantic or greedy and lustful depends on your point of view.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, spoke to three of their members who managed to cheat on their partners, even on Christmas Day.

The three members (whose stories appear below) have been cheating on their respective partners prior to Christmas Day, but they each planned and executed an affair in arguably the most shocking of circumstances.

The site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, expands:

“For there to be a clear breakdown in one’s relationship is bad enough. No one likes to be deceived, and we all want to patch things up when our relationship starts taking on some water.

“However, you’d think that there would be some exceptions… that the adulterers in question would have some moral lines that they simply could not cross; it’s the one day of the year you’d think would be a clear no go.

“Christmas is usually the loneliest time of the year for an adulterer, with their secret tryst spending an extended period of time with their significant other, but for these three people, Christmas Day was instead the perfect opportunity for a salacious get together that simply couldn’t be missed.

“It’s a damning indictment on the state of relationships today.”
Case Studies

Michael – 44 – London

“I’ve been seeing someone that I met on the site for the best part of 4 months. She was the one who initially suggested meeting up around Christmas. Fortunately, she lives nearby (though this has normally caused us more problems than it has provided solutions).

“I dismissed the idea of meeting her on Christmas for the obvious reasons, primarily because of the logistical difficulties. However, she suggested we meet early in the morning.

“This works for me, as I’m normally up early to go for a run, so my absence in the early hours (should my wife have woken up) could have been excused.

“Anyway, we met at a nearby day-use hotel that she’d booked in advance, did the deed, and on we went. Anyone who would have seen us leave the hotel that morning would have thought we were a loving couple who were celebrating Christmas in their own inimitable way, not two adulterers who’d just copulated.”

Elle – 31 – Nottingham

“My colleague and I (we work for the police) have been having an affair since May. We’ve had sex at work a few times in the past, but we normally like to be as far away from people we know as possible.

“However, he suggested that we both work the Christmas Day shift – things are generally little bit quieter – as it would be the last opportunity we would have to ‘see’ each other for a little while.

“To cut a long story short, we slept with each other a few times throughout the day where we could.

“There was something thrilling about it, but I have to be honest and say that it felt more wrong than cheating on my husband on Christmas.

“I’ve never kidded myself and thought that I wasn’t doing something bad by going behind my husband’s back like this – I suppose I’m just greedy – but I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t feel some regret after this; that’s one of the main reasons I’ve writtern [to you], to get it off my chest.”

Katie – 28 – Hertfordshire

“Every year I spend Christmas morning and lunch with my immediate family, before driving to my boyfriend’s house in Ashford to spend the evening with him. Obviously, that drive in-between is my window of opportunity. The man I met on IE is widowed, so his Christmas plans were relatively empty, so, I stopped off at his place on the way to Kent.

“Both men offer something (physically and emotionally) that other doesn’t, so I get the best of both worlds in that respect, though it’s normally tough to juggle both. In any case, the opportunity arose, and I couldn’t think of a good reason not to take it.”

Revealed: The Most Popular Lie Cheating Wives Will Tell Their Husband this Christmas…

• 36% of married women are using ‘Christmas shopping’ as an excuse for a festive fling this Christmas
• Christmas shopping is the perfect cover, affording the adulterer all the time and freedom they need for a salacious rendezvous
• The tried and true excuses of ‘going to the gym,’ ‘meeting with girlfriends’ or even ‘working overtime’ weren’t as popular as expected, receiving just 9%, 6% and 5% of the vote respectively.
• The results come as a result of a survey of over 500 women on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

A seemingly innocent round of Christmas shopping could be hiding something much more sinister. That’s according to new research from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, who surveyed over 500 women on their site.

36% of respondents said that they’d used Christmas shopping as an excuse to slip out and meet their extramarital lover.

The tried and true excuses of ‘going to the gym,’ ‘meeting with girlfriends’ or even ‘working overtime’ weren’t as popular as expected, receiving just 9%, 6% and 5% of the vote respectively.

Christian Grant, spokesperson for the site, explains why married women are shopping for something a little different this Christmas:

“No matter who you are or where you’re from, Christmas shopping is the perfect cover for an undercover rendezvous.

“A combination of holiday days, children off of school and some generally poor weather makes the classic excuses a little less believable – not so Christmas shopping.

“To do an extensive round of ‘shopping’, you’ll need plenty of time of course.

“You also might want to travel a little further beyond your local parade of shops. And, if you don’t get everything you wanted the first time around, you can go again another day and do it all over again.

“As long as you don’t return home completely empty handed from your ‘shop’, you’re likely to get away with it every single time.

“The only thing worth keeping in mind is any inexplicable transactions that may appear on your bank statement – visits to hotels or payments for a meal for two people are best avoided if possible; cash is your friend.”

Revealed: Nearly 1 In 5 Cheat at the Office Christmas Party​

• 18% of married people have cheated at the office Christmas party, a new survey has revealed
• 45% admitted to kissing a colleague, while 77% flirted with one
• 6% went all the way, having sex with their colleague, while 4% did it with their boss
• 18% put their job on the line, telling their boss what they really thought of them
• The results come from an annual survey of over 1,000 people on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

Horrible karaoke, second hand embarrassment, and an illicit relationship with a colleague – the office Christmas party has it all.

An annual survey of over 1,000 people on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, found that 18% of those surveyed cheated with a colleague at the office Christmas party.

To be specific, 45% admitted to kissing a colleague, 66% seductively danced with one, while a whopping 77% flirted with one. 6% even admitted to going all the way and had sex with a colleague, while 4% had sex with their boss.

The site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains:

“The combination of good drinks and good vibes creates a scenario that’s ripe for cheating; whether that manifests itself as something as innocent as a bit of flirting or a full-blown affair is another story.

“Maybe you’ve always found your colleague attractive, and a little bit of alcohol is all that was needed for you to cross the line.

“Unfortunately, sleeping with a colleague can be more damaging in the long run than cheating with a stranger on a night out, or even with someone you meet online.

“Once the hangover disappears, the reality of your actions will sink in, and you’ll have to return to work in the coming days and weeks and confront your colleague one way or another – you’ll never be able to look them in the eye the same way again, that’s for sure.”

And the ramifications could be even worse for some, as 18% admitted to telling their boss exactly what they thought of them at the office Christmas party, with a further 14% admitting to having a shared a secret that they shouldn’t have.

“This almost always ends badly,” said Grant.

“At best, your boss will dismiss – or forget – your drunken ramblings. At worst, you’ll be in for a stern talking to the next day; you have absolutely nothing to gain.

“While the Christmas party is intended to be fun, it’s important to maintain a semblance of professionalism if you can.”

Naughty, Not Nice – The Five Christmas Gifts That Indicate You Might Be Dating An Adulterer

Has your partner been naughty or nice this year? You won’t need Santa’s help for this one, just take a peek at their Christmas list. The advice comes from the UK’s leading dating website for married people, IllicitEncounters.com, who surveyed over 1500 of its members to find out the gifts that top their Christmas lists.

IllicitEncounters’ survey found that men were most keen on the following gifts this Christmas:

5. Underwear – 10%

“With the amount of adverts featuring hot, well-built blokes, it’s easy to understand why a man might consider a pair of CK briefs as a must-buy this Christmas,” explains IllicitEncounters’ spokesperson, Christian Grant.

“Although women will undoubtedly be more impressed, or not as the case may be, by what’s underneath, it hasn’t stopped the 10% of our respondents who are hoping to unwrap some designer briefs on the 25th”.

 

4. Fitbit– 17%

“After years of lazing around the house caressing his gut, your man has decided to slim down, but there’s a good chance that he isn’t doing it for you,” claims Grant.

“This epiphany isn’t a coincidence – there’s a good chance that an extramarital relationship is what’s driving him”.

 

3. Fragrance – 20%

“Has your man upgraded from a £5 Adidas cologne to the latest from Christian Dior? It might be worth keeping an eye on,” says Grant.

 

2. New Phone – 22%

Male or female, young or old, mobile phones always prove to be among the most popular gifts at Christmas year in, year out. But doesn’t your partner already have a phone? Why would he need another? Grant explains: “So many men purchase a ‘burn phone’ to use solely to contact their extramarital partner. Ask yourself: is his current phone working perfectly? Did he only purchase it recently? And now he wants a new one? Alarm bells should be ringing, ladies.”

 

1. Designer Clothes – 23%

“Whether it’s designer brands or a brand new suit, every girl is crazy about a sharp dressed man, so don’t be surprised to see your partner asking for an entirely new wardrobe this Christmas,” claims Grant.

IllicitEncounters also surveyed its female members and found similar results. “Male or female, affair-seekers all have the same thing in common: they want to look good, feel good and keep their illicit relationship as discreet as possible,” says Grant, “…so it’s not surprising to see that a new phone, perfume and some irresistible lingerie ranked high among our female members’ Christmas lists”.

The full results are available below:

Gift	Percentage of Men
Underwear	10%
Fitbit	17%
Fragrance	20%
New Phone	22%
Designer Clothes	23%
Other	8%

 

Gift	Percentage of Women
High Heels	8%
Jewellery	19%
New Phone	20%
Perfume	20%
Lingerie	27%
Other	6%

Uh-oh…Over HALF of Workers Admit to Hooking Up at the Christmas Party!

2015 is ending with a bang – in some cases, literally so. IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, can reveal that over half of workers have hooked up in some form or another with a co-worker at the work Christmas party.

Of the 2000 workers that responded to the survey, 55% admitted to having engaged in some sort of illicit activity with a co-worker. Of that 55%, 30% said that they’d drunkenly kissed a co-worker, 15% went home with a co-worker, while the remaining 10% admitted to going the distance and sleeping with a co-worker.

IllicitEncounters’ spokesperson, Christian Grant, explained: “Woops. A Christmas Party is the perfect breeding ground for office shenanigans. You work with these people day in, day out, so, naturally, a bond is established – you like them, even on a basic level. Add in a mix of alcohol and good music, and you’ve got a relaxed atmosphere, ripe for inebriated workers to subvert their inhibitions, let loose, and attempt to take their relationship with their co-worker to something more than it should be.”

Although not every worker found themselves pairing up with a colleague, they found other ways to ensure that they woke up the following morning with feelings of regret. 10% admitted to stripping off in some capacity, with a further 13% confessing a secret that they wish they hadn’t. One thing’s for certain, plenty were left a little worse for wear, with 20% admitting to pulling a sickie the following morning to nurse a hangover.

To make matters worse, the survey found that nearly 30% of workers used the opportunity to confront their boss and give them a piece of their mind, or even try to charm their way to a promotion or pay rise.

“There are going to be quite a few awkward conversations in a number of offices over the next month,” says Grant. “Under certain circumstances, all semblance of reality and order is lost, and workers often think that a jovial atmosphere allows them to take a few digs at their boss, and say things that they normally wouldn’t even dream of saying. The result? They take it too far, forgetting that there are consequences to their actions.”

“If there’s something that needs to be said to your boss, save it for a professional occasion – they will most definitely dismiss your drunken ramblings.”
