Affair Fog
What Is Affair Fog?
Affair fog is not a diagnosis. It is a useful name for the distortion that can happen when secrecy, novelty, and validation combine.
Inside it, ordinary responsibilities look dull or unfair. The other person appears unusually vivid because they are not carrying the full weight of daily life.
The fog begins to lift when the fantasy has to survive logistics, accountability, and the ordinary demands of being known.
