In the beginning, a one-night stand is just that. A hook-up. But what happens when that "one-night stand" becomes a regular event? Can still fit definition of hook-up at this point. Slowly, emotions get tangled up. You now have a situation. Particularly if the other person you are in the situation with is living with his sort-of/common-law/fake wife and has two children from previous relationships.
