If a man has a lover and he is married, she is called a 'mistress' right?

Question

but if a woman has a lover and she is married, what is he called?

HA HA, Susie, Yes, I'm just asking because I was wondering. I've been a victim of a cheating spouse before (ex husband case and point) and I would never do that to my hubs.

Answer 1

Both are called "adulterers"...

Answer 2

its a mans world, anything that they do as far as cheating or being unfaithful has a name for it that doesn't make it sound bad. As soon as a woman cheats they don't even give the man a name she is just a cheater or a whore. Its sad to say but its true.
To answer your question, he does not have a title, the woman is just a cheater or a whore

Answer 3

No.. A mistress is one who is kept.. that is financed by the man.. If a married woman has a lover, he is called TROUBLE!!

Answer 4

A woman is a mistress, a man is a lover.

They (man or woman) are also known as: Liar, Scumbag, Cheater, Loser, Home-wrecker....

Answer 5

Actually, "mistress" is too nice, makes it sound acceptable.
The proper term for male or female is "whore". The same term applies to the cheating spouse.

Answer 6

Lucky

Answer 7

Guess he would be a lover. But I would say that they are both cheaters and liars and adulterers. Certainly hope that you are not one of those and just asking out of curiousity.

Answer 8

she is called a mistress but im not sure about the man. i know that on greys anatomy meredith and mark both call themselves the ''dirty mistresses'' so maybe they are called the same.

Answer 9

a man

Answer 10

They are both called cheaters, and are dishonest with life.

Answer 11

Cicisbeo
Gigolo

or in my book,
A very stupid man.
