May I attempt an answer to your question "is a kiss an affair?" One way to define infidelity is within the couple relationship whose psychological/emotional/spiritual contract is betrayed by that kiss. If you considered the kiss an affair and your partner did not, then you have a second order problem (over and above infidelity). That is the ability to communicate and form a flexible but binding agreement with each other that protects the relationship from temptation and trespass. Always check with your partner or future partner at the outset of the relationship what they and you mean by infidelity before you discover a breach of faith retrospectively.-- Ziji 00:41, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Anyone have any ideas what to do, if anything should be done, about merging these two articles since they overlap quite a bit. Albert109 17:39, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Even though they overlap, there is no reason for a full merge. Affairs and adultry are two different things, although at first though they seem to be the same. Also, both articles are long enough to warrant having seperate wiki listings.
Instead, I submit that we remove the {merge} template.
This article seems to be trying to cover two quite distinct meanings of the word "affair" and consequently has ended up as a confusing muddle. How about a split into Extramarital affair (which is already a redirect to this article) and Business affair? Or, alternatively, leave this article at Affair to cover the business and personal meaning of the word, and split off Extramarital affair with a disambig link and a "see also"?

I have been working away at the Affair section and have added an Emotional Affair section to cover chaste infidelity. The Adultery article has the correct legal context and content and stands alone well. Affair is broader and if anything the genus of which adultery is but a species. From clinical experience as a psychologist, people rarely refer to adultery in Australia but frequently to affair to mean the same and related experiences. Indeed the opening question of this talk indicates the common usage. I agree with the above and add disambig links where necessary. I will continue to add content to Affair.-- Ziji 21:19, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
The article still seems a muddle to me, having been away from it for nearly two years, it hasn't improved much. I think all those related articles I listed above remain intact and as I said there, “The area is spread out all over wikipedia and not always interlinked. One way to link it may be as part of the series on Love, to which some are already linked“ is a job waiting to be done. -- Ziji ( talk email) 07:10, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
There is judgmental language throughout the entry, and especially under the Extramarital Affair heading. In that section, the descriptive material refocuses the topic from "affair" to "marriage" and "adultery." There are prejudicial and unsupported discretionary terms used, such as "infidelity," "illicit," "duplicitous," and "jilted." Rather than considering why an extraneous affair might occur during the tenure of a marriage or how it might be resolved, the section discusses cultural taboos and criminal and civil consequences of an affair. It's very much like discussing car crashes and traffic laws when the topic is the internal combustion engine. Parts of this entry are very moralizing and detrimental to an in-depth discussion of the topic, or, as in this section, any discussion at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zanski ( talk • contribs) 23:53, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
I've added the cleanup tag - mainly my gripe is with the Office romance section, which is poorly written and not encyclopaedic enough - "they can be intoxicating like a drug" and "Good people in good jobs will throw caution to the wind." etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.108.145.11 ( talk) 15:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC).
I have just removed an erroneous statement from the article Regarding George W Bush and Paris Hilton. For god's sake whoever added this garbage should show some respect for President Bush.
