I know, it isn’t exactly what you wanted to hear is it? Well, suck it up ‘coz here comes the real shocker.

According to our friends at ashleymadison.com, the go-to site for married dating, discreet encounters and extramarital affairs, South Africa saw a 620% increase in new signups between January 1st and January 5th. And there you were, cursing out your other half because you thought they were looking at porn.

In fact, after the same site polled 2000 South Africans, they discovered that finding a new affair partner came in as the third most popular new year’s resolution.

“January is typically known for being the ‘divorce month’ but I think it should be given the more appropriate title of ‘Infidelity Month’,” says Noel Biderman, CEO and Founder of AshleyMadison.com “Over the holidays couples are forced to spend extended periods of time together without the escape of work, which – if emotional and sexual expectations are not met – can lead to high levels of tension within a marriage.”

But what does this mean for your relationship? It means it is time to pull out the big guns. And, thanks to Groupon and their crazy specials, you don’t have to break the bank to do so. Just whisk your better half away for either one or two night’s accommodation at Spier Wine Estate, complete with Breakfast and a Wine Tasting. So, that’s the wining and dining part, now for the…well, need I say more?!

And that’s under R1,500 for two people – accommodation, brekkie and wine tasting included.

You can thank us later. Or now. We will accept both. So go on, take the deal.
