SCOTS are more likely to have an affair in September, according to a new survey. And couples north of the border are also becoming “fed-up” with their partner after summer holidays, according to a dating site for married people. Scots are more likely to have an affair in September according to the study New figures released by IllicitEncounters.com have revealed a 24% spike in cheating in September. Jessica Leoni, sex and relationship expert with the firm, said: “September is always the busiest month of the year for affairs in Scotland. “Long summer holidays are a turning point for so many couples – they realise the sex is still boring even when they are basking in paradise. “If your partner starts behaving oddly after returning to the office in September, they could well be up to no good.” The research found over three-quarters of cheaters admitted the move away from home working and a return to the office will provide a ‘cover’ for illicit activities. The survey, of 2,000 people, also revealed more that half of couples have ‘reassessed’ their relationship during the pandemic with the main reason for extramarital affairs at this time of year being ‘boring sex’.  The schools going back will spark a bigger increase than normal, with two-thirds of cheats saying that having the kids off their hands will make them more likely to stray.  [article-rail-section title=”Most read in Fabulous” posts_category=”30″ posts_number=”6″ query_type=”popular” /] Covid hasn’t put a halt on cheating, with a 37% rise in new registrations to the adult site over the last six months.
