Discreet dating for married people in Liverpool

Who you'll meet, and what it costs

Joining, building a profile and browsing are free; reading and replying to messages needs a paid membership, and the prices page has the options. Checkout shows the billing name before you pay. Prices have so far been shown in US dollars, so your bank converts the charge. Members in Liverpool are part of Marital Affair's UK membership, and because profiles are shared with partner sites in the same network, some people you hear from will have joined elsewhere.

Sexual health: axess

Liverpool's NHS sexual health service is axess, which also covers Knowsley, Cheshire East, Warrington and Halton. It was brought together in 2021 under a Liverpool City Council contract with Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, merging three earlier services into one. It is free and covers STI testing and treatment, contraception, PEP and PrEP, and smear tests.

From the axess website you can order an STI test, find the nearest clinic or book an appointment. One clinic is at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital on Prescot Street, L7 8XP. Our guide to sexual health with a new partner covers testing and protection.

If someone tries to scam or threaten you

• Report Fraud, at reportfraud.police.uk or on 0300 123 2040.
• Merseyside Police on 999 in an emergency, or 101 if it can wait.
• The Revenge Porn Helpline for adults facing intimate image abuse, including threats.

Stop replying, keep the messages and report the profile through our help centre. The guide to scams and blackmail explains how these approaches tend to start.

The law in England

Adultery is not a crime anywhere in the UK, and in England a divorce no longer needs a reason: no-fault divorce has been the law in England and Wales since 6 April 2022, and couples can apply jointly. The UK page sets out the rules in each nation, and our guide to separation and divorce goes further. None of this is legal advice; speak to a family solicitor before acting.

Talking to someone

Relate counsels people on their own as well as couples, mostly online, with fees set by household income. Samaritans answer on 116 123. Our getting support page has more.

Before you meet

Our safety page and the guide to meeting safely cover first meetings, and the discretion page explains what the site shows and sends: the billing name, account emails and who can see your profile.
