1. Do your hookups far from home

2. Keep a low profile

Keep the personal details of your —  home address, spouse’s place of employment — under wraps before and following the affair, lest your affair partner blow your cover.

3. Hide all Evidence

Lipstick on your collar or stray boxers in the backseat won’t fly if you want to stay married. Seven percent of those polled said they made an effort to hide any evidence of their indiscretions.

4. Use a Condom

Using protection to avoid bringing home an STD or getting pregnant is key to keeping your affairs on the down-low.

5. Get a special phone for cheating

Cheaters usually scoop up a second phone or an app like Blackbook so they could chat with their affair partners without being caught.
