2.what does pull the plug mean?

Answer

an affair, in this context, refers to a sexual relationship. using the word 'affiar' implies that at least one of the parties is already involved with someone - they are cheating on their partner.
to pull the plug on something means to end it. he is telling her to end the affair.

Answer

for pull the plug i think he literally means to pull the plug. in other words if someone is in a comma and hes on life support if you "pull the plug" it would mean to end his life. not end the relationship.

What suggest that it means end his life on life support is the sentence "i'm sick? your cheating on a vegetable". vegetable meaning someone who cant move and talk.

Answer

having an affair means that one part of a couple is having a romantic relationship with an other person! to pull the plug : to end the relationship

Answer

"Affair" means someone is having a romantic relationship with someone while they are married.  "Pull the plug" means to end a relationship.
