No, but he and Athena had a competition for the patron of Athens. They each had to give the city a gift. Athena's gift was judged as being better. Answer 2: Having lost the chance of being the patron of Athens, other cities were devoted to him. Among them was Poseidonia (Paestum) on the Italian coast, Gulf of Naples, was a very important Greek city. A couple of temples are even today among the best kept Greek ruins.

Did Poseidon have any relationships with any gods?
yes. Poseidon's brothers were Zeus and Hades. His sisters were Hera, Hestia, and Demeter. well known children of Poseidon include the hero Theseus and the merman Triton. Poseidon also had a "romantic" relationship with Medusa, but i believe this was before she was turned into a monster, and also the reason why she was turned into a monster. I should add that by romantic i mean she was raped by him, which for a male greek god was normal. Like most of the male greek gods, Poseidon had many lovers and had many children with these lovers. His wife was Amphitrite, and she was a nymph. He also once hooked up with his sister Demeter. Most of the greek gods were related, and inbred.

Did poseidon have any affairs?
Poseidon, or either any other gods, were liked, or to not be liked. For example, Poseidon and all the other gods and goddesses can get angered easily, and create disasters, and destroy homes, crops, etc. This is what Poseidon did; he created disasters by using his trident, well, maybe to him they weren't disasters. For example, earthquakes, storms, tsunamis, anything that involves water, because he is the Greek god of the sea. Another thing that may hint he wasn't liked is that the people of the city, which would become Athens, chose the goddess Athena as their patron goddess, and not Poseidon. This of course angered Poseidon, and due to his immense anger, he flooded Athens with his powers. Another example is that when a city ruler in Troy didn't reward him for building city walls around their home, he sent a vicious, sea monster to their city in anger. It actually is the peoples' opinions, whether they didn't like him for destroying everything, or liking him because he is the god of the sea, and he basically owns the ocean, in Greek mythology. So, it really matters on opinions, because we can't go back in time and see people who didn't like Poseidon grieving for their family members who died from his wrath, or people who did like him, praying, and bowing to the ocean, etc.
