Forget hiring a private detective or trawling through phones, a growing number of suspicious women are turning to the supernatural for answers when it comes to matters of the heart. A new study has revealed that psychics are becoming the go-to detectives for uncovering infidelity.

According to a survey by the UK’s largest extramarital dating site, IllicitEncounters.com, a whopping 83% of the 1,500 female members polled have questioned their partner’s fidelity at some point in their relationship.

Traditionally, people have turned to private investigators or relied on tech to uncover the truth. But, it seems the digital age is giving way to a more mystical approach.

In fact, more than half (52%) sought guidance from psychics to validate their concerns about their partner. And for 68% of them, those crystal-ball gazing sessions confirmed their suspicions. 

While some found the answers they were seeking, not everyone walked away feeling better. In fact, 61% of women who used psychic services reported feeling more anxious and insecure about their relationships afterward. 

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com commented, “It’s fascinating to see the rise in women turning to psychics for answers about infidelity. 

It’s a trend that highlights the deep need for certainty and validation in relationships. When people feel their relationship is at risk, they’ll often go to great lengths to find the truth, even if it means consulting the mystical world.”

Interestingly, of the 52% who turned to psychics for relationship advice, Scots are the most likely to want clarity, with 43% admitting to seeking supernatural guidance. This is compared to 31% in England, 16% in Wales, and just 10% in Northern Ireland. 

Caroline from Aberdeen, a user of the married dating site who took part in the survey, said, “I suspected my partner was being unfaithful for quite some time. I tried everything: checking his phone, analysing his behaviour, even installing a tracking app (which, by the way, I’m not proud of). Frustrated and desperate for answers, I booked a session with a local psychic.

During the reading, she revealed details about my partner’s recent activities and it all just added up. Armed with this new insight and confirmation that he was cheating on me, I actually didn’t confront him. Instead, I decided to get back at him by having my own affair. 

I never imagined I’d find out the truth through a psychic, but in the end, it gave me the closure I needed.”
