Also? What Jess said. I started my last response with "Bullshit," originally, but didn't want you to think that was in reference to your time being valuable, so I left it off before I submitted the post. But I was totally thinking it, the whole time.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Cash, what they all said. Don't drop your rate.
I have an odd question:
A woman who cheats on her husband is an adulteress. A man is an adulterer.
What is the "other" man or woman called?

I'm sure there's a snarky (as well as grammatically correct) answer to this, but I also wanted to call attention to one of my favorite cheating terms, the "cuckold."

Oh, unless you meant cuckold, which would be the spouse NOT doing the cheating.

Right. I love cuckold. Makes me think of Yul Brynner.
I meant the homewrecker.

Technically, I think it's okay to refer to the partner as an "adulterer" or "adulteress." An adulterer is a person who engages in the act of adultery. The act of adultery is defined as sexual intercourse between a married person and a partner other than the spouse.
If I were trying to differentiate between the cheater and his/her partner for something I was writing, what I called the unmarried participant in adulterous sex would depend on the context.
