Illicit romantic relationships
A love affair is a romantic or sexual relationship, especially one outside marriage or one that is passionate but temporary.
The term often implies intensity and secrecy: Their love affair lasted three years before his wife discovered it.
By extension, a love affair can describe any intense enthusiasm: America's love affair with the automobile.
