[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only difference between the two to me is duration. An affair connotes ongoing, repeated, long-term cheating. And really I only make this distinction when pressed, I think most people view and use them interchangeably. [/quote] I think that's right. When someone says "he cheated on me" I don't reach a conclusion as to whether it's a one night stand or a long term thing. It *does* mean he had sex. I don't think people say "he cheated on me" to describe an emotional affair. If someone says "he had an affair," I hear that as a relationship, more than a one-night-stand. I think most times I'd conclude there was sex, and that they'd say "emotional affair" if that's what they meant. Both are infidelity. Both are adultery. I think many people could forgive a one night stand as a slip-up. A long-term affair involves long-term deceit, which might end it for many more people. [/quote] +1 to all.[/quote]
