Many people encounter the use of the term "discreet relationship" when looking online or in newspaper personal ads. While the true meaning may be hard to decipher, discreet relationships may mean many different things. The word "discreet" is defined by onlinedictionary.com as "marked by prudence or modesty and wise self-restraint; heedful of potential consequences; unobtrusively perceptive and sympathetic." A discreet relationship is a casual but usually ongoing relationship that must be hidden to protect one's family or friends from finding out about it, or to preserve social standing and appearance. Discreet relationships are often an indicator of a need to hide the relationship, either due to the party already being in a committed relationship or due to a need to hide details, such as the nature of the relationship. Communication within a discreet relationship can be difficult, as the married party or party hiding details of the relationship may wish to avoid discovery by constant communication via phone, emails or in person. While some discreet relationships last for years, many cannot due to insufficient communication or jealousy. Many relationships of this nature are intended to be short-term by the person initiating them. Many websites and personal ad publications are devoted to creating discreet relationships for those who wish to embark on one. Discreet AdventuresDefinition

Where you're real horny n stuff but you don't want anybody to find out you're getting some tail on the side.
That's when you sign in at the Family Inn as Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Discreet relationships don't always involve sex. They can involve espionage, commercial or political relationships that one or more of the parties wants to keep secret.
Or it could involve someone working in a controversial/embarrasing area about which they don't want others to know.
A classic example would be someone who pretended to be and told their parents/friends/relatives as well as the general public that they were, for example, a crack-whore, pimp, wino or vilolent criminal when in reality they were on the Answerbag Staff.
Where you don't tell family and friends your seeing each other so your prospect don't get cold feet from all the attention and bail on the relationship.My mother is absolutley the worst for this I don't tell her or my friends a darn thing that they don't spread it like wildfire.Personal experiance.
It's any relationship that's hidden from anyone. To put it bluntly. And honestly, some of the people on here could stand to be a bit mature from time to time -.- I'm pretty sure it won't kill ya. Tho there's also some really good answers also.
Sometimes adults have descreet relations because off thier children
