What do you call the man who is the lover of a cheating woman?

Answer woman cheat must?

A cheating S.O.B.!!! Both parties are cheaters and lame as human beings. If one is so unhappy in a relationship (even if you aren't married) then mature people would simply split-up. Cheaters usually like to have their cake and eat it to. I would also use the term "man" lightly in this case because he hasn't earned it if he cheats! Same goes for a woman.

How do you address an envelope to a gay couple with a child?

Typically, you should ask them what they want, but that's not always practical. So as a married gay man with children, I suggest you would address it in one of the following ways:

If same last name:


John & Richard Smith & family


John & Richard Smith

Bobby and Susan


The Smith Family


If different last names


John Smith & Richard Jones

Bobby and Susan


Mr. John Smith & Mr. Richard Jones

Bobby and Susan


John Smith & Richard Jones & Family


Notes:

  • Never use "Mr & Mr" unless you know the couple is okay with that.
  • Never use "John Smith & Richard." If you don't know the last name of one of the spouses, then find out what it is. If you absolutely can't find out what it is, it might be best to address it only to one spouse & family. I have also seen just first names used, and this usually doesn't cause a problem.
  • Never use "Messrs." unless you are over 90 years old and you want to convey the message that you think of the couple as confirmed bachelor brothers.
