Preferred term

secret relationships  

Definition

  • A secret relationship is a type of romance in which the partners involved make deliberate attempts to hide some aspect of their relationship from one or more other persons. Most partners who keep their relationships secret do so because they anticipate some type of negative response if others were to discover it.
