When did cheating become an affair

What a way to coat up the act

I don’t follow. I’ve always thought of cheating as cheating and affair as extensive cheating.

@Spoiledbrat I see an affair as a nicer way or sugar coated word for cheating
I think of it as someone had a relationship with someone outside their marriage but it’s also cheating. I also think cheating by itself suggests something shallow happened outside of the marriage. And I’m not sure if that’s a good thing because it could mean someone doesn’t care about the person they cheated with and that all they wanted was something physical which I consider to be shallow. On the other hand there may have been no feelings involved. @SW-User

@Spoiledbrat yeah, i think 'an affair' is more long term...
