Who better to let us in on the secrets of infidelity, than someone who has been the other woman? Twenty-nine-year-old Clare, who has since broken it off with her boyfriend who turned out to be married, wants to help women spot a cheat before it’s too late.

“I never thought that I would become a mistress – I hate the idea of taking another woman’s husband. I was effectively conned into becoming the lover of a married man,” she says. “I believe men cheat because they reach a stage where they wonder if that is all there is and want to test their manhood.”

She confesses feeling guilty for being tricked into a relationship with a married father of two, who had told her his marriage was over.

“I have made a promise to myself, I will never be a mistress again, as my relationship with a married man ended very badly and left me both depressed and ill, with my self-confidence shattered,” she said. “I’m just glad I can help other women spot the warning signs.”
