An affair is a romantic relationship between two people, typically involving one or both individuals being married or in a committed relationship with someone else. Affairs can be emotional or physical and often lead to significant consequences for all parties involved, including feelings of betrayal and loss of trust. Affairs can occur in various contexts, such as in the workplace or through social networks. They may be driven by a variety of factors, including dissatisfaction in a primary relationship, desire for excitement, or emotional connection. The impact of an affair can extend beyond the individuals involved, affecting families and friendships.
