Cheating wives take revenge...

We surveyed 8,200 male and female members of our cheating community to discover what their reaction would be if they discovered their partner was having an affair.

More than a quarter of men and women surveyed said they would have a desire to level the playing field if they discovered their partner was cheating, with an amazing division on who the recipient of the revenge would be. Almost 80% of women would try to get back at their partner, while nearly 90% of men would direct their anger towards their partner’s lover.

CEO and Founder of Victoria Milan, Sigurd Vedal, said that while the danger of being caught can be fun, there are simple ways to fireproof your affair.

“When entering into an affair, it’s important to take precautions and protect yourself. It’s becoming easier to do this, with online dating sites that take out half of the common means of exposure – for example, only divulging personal information to someone who you have learned to trust, and doing so at your own pace. This sense of protection and secrecy often makes the liaison even more tantalising and exciting,” Mr Vedal said.

And the means of revenge? Almost a quarter of women will destroy something their partner cares about – expect smashed windscreens and damage to your paintwork, gentlemen. 23% said they would level the playing field by having an affair of their own, and 19% said they would find the mistress and make trouble for her.

Men on the other hand are set on causing trouble for their partner’s lover, with 64% making it their mission to seek and destroy the object of their lady’s affections. 22% said they would leave their cheating partner immediately and 9% said they would embark on an adulterous adventure of their own to get revenge.
