two-timers
Romantically disloyal partners
Two-timers are people who deceive a romantic partner by carrying on a secret relationship with someone else.
The term emphasizes betrayal—not just cheating, but maintaining the pretense of fidelity: She found out he was a two-timer when she saw the texts.
By extension, a two-timer can be anyone who breaks faith or double-crosses: Don't trust that two-timer with your business secrets.
