two-timer

Lover with another

A two-timer is someone who deceives a romantic partner by secretly being involved with another person: She found out he was a two-timer when she saw him with someone else.

The verb two-time means to carry on such deception.

The term can extend to any betrayal of trust or loyalty, but the romantic sense dominates.
