Discreet dating for married people in Newcastle

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 Newcastle 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 New Croft Centre

Newcastle's sexual health service is at the New Croft Centre on Market Street East, NE1 6ND. Since 1 October 2023 it has been provided by Solutions 4 Health on behalf of Newcastle City Council. It works by phone appointment: call 0191 229 2999 between 8.30am and 4pm, Monday to Friday, and don't turn up without an appointment, because the council says you won't be seen. The walk-in young people's clinics are the exception.

You can also ask for a DIY STI kit by phone or online and collect it at an appointment, and postal HIV self-test kits are available to Newcastle residents aged 16 and over. Our guide to sexual health with a new partner explains what to test for and when.

If someone tries to scam or threaten you

• Report Fraud, at reportfraud.police.uk or on 0300 123 2040.
• Northumbria Police on 999 in an emergency, or 101 otherwise.
• The Revenge Porn Helpline if someone shares or threatens to share intimate images of you.

Stop replying and keep the evidence, then report the profile through our help centre. The guide to scams and blackmail covers 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 works with individuals and couples, mostly online, with fees set by household income. Samaritans are on 116 123, any time. More on our getting support page.

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.
