[Ads-l] affaired

[Barretts Mail]

In the 11:00 am to noon hour Pacific Time, CBC had a program today discussing recovering from an affair. I can’t find the program; if it helps, it was preceded by a story on a music band formed by black women talking about black women’s issues followed. I suspect it was the “180.”

The interviewee talks about his wife having an affair with his brother, and at one point he says “the affaired partner.” I assume he means his wife, though it’s possible he meant or included his brother.

Neither Wiktionary nor the online Oxford Dictionaries have this term.

It is not common on Google:

was finally glad to read the statistics from (ahh, can’t remember the female docs name) regarding the 4,100 male executives and only 3% of them having affairs married their affaired partner / mistress (and the work / details of Dr. Pittman’s work revealing / detailing the 5 factors that caused those couples that marry, when it started in an affair – WHY their relationship ultimately ends) BUT your book seemed a bit ‘more promising for them’ ….. (meaning well more than a 3% chance that they will marry)

Similarly, regardless of how unfulfilling the marital relationship, the affaires partner is responsible of being disloyal in the marriage.
