I don't know where you got this idea from, but it can't be from listening to this short story.
- FrustratedMonky 1y agoMaybe he is miss-understanding the word 'affair'. Today a lot of people use 'affair' as meaning cheating. But it used to just mean any activity, and a 'love affair' is just an event, or two people in love, with no cheating implied. Just the act of loving. Now I wonder if 'affair' started getting used in reference to cheating because of loveless marriages, so any 'love' affair must imply cheating?
- re 1y agoThe word "affair" does not appear in the transcript of the episode; my only guess is that the commenter googled the name of the story looking for a summary and saw "love affair" in some of the results.
