Discreet dating for married people in Manchester

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 Manchester 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: The Northern

Manchester's NHS sexual health care comes from The Northern contraception, sexual health and HIV service, which offers advice, screening and treatment, including for HIV. Its clinics are listed on its website; the Hathersage Centre is one of its hubs.

If you have no symptoms and live in Manchester, The Northern's online service means you don't need to go in at all. You set up an account, request a postal kit, send your samples back in a prepaid envelope and read your results online within 14 days. With symptoms, book a clinic instead. Our guide to sexual health with a new partner covers testing windows and protection.

If someone tries to scam or threaten you

• Report Fraud, at reportfraud.police.uk or on 0300 123 2040, takes reports of romance fraud and sextortion.
• Greater Manchester Police on 999 if you are in danger, or 101 for non-urgent reports.
• The Revenge Porn Helpline for adults whose intimate images are being shared or used as a threat.

Keep the evidence, stop replying and report the profile through our help centre. Read the guide to scams and blackmail for the warning signs.

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 individuals and couples, mostly online, with fees based on household income. Samaritans are on 116 123 at any hour, and 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.
