If you are having an affair, is there a way of describing what you are doing to your partner using the word affair?? e.g. "I am having an affair against my husband"...I'm after one that actually makes sense though!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.i wanted to explain to a mate that my uncles partner cheated on him, but what came out of my mouth was..."x had an affair." I then needed to qualify that x was the partner of my uncle, so i just said "x had an affair against my uncle" and everyone laughed. that caused us to ask the question: If you are having an affair, is there a way of describing what you are doing to your partner using the word affair??
thanks black noir, a definite possibility. i could have said..."x is having an affair...of which my uncle is oblivious". Don't you tink that there should be a preposition that comes with the word affair. i think we should invent one and get it recognition. how about "to have an affair on"..."she had an affair on my uncle". hmmm, i think i prefer my original suggestion though, "to have an affair against"...
