Solution

In "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Buchanan views his relationship with Myrtle Wilson primarily as an affair. He does not see her as an equal, nor does he consider her worthy of marriage. This is evident in the way he treats her throughout the novel. He is physically abusive towards her and does not respect her as a person. He also does not consider his relationship with Myrtle to be more important than his relationship with his wife, Daisy. Despite his affair, he becomes upset when he finds out that Daisy has been unfaithful to him. This shows that he values his marriage more than his relationship with Myrtle. Therefore, the most accurate answer is "Tom sees his relationship with Myrtle as just another affair."
