A mistress

A mistress is a relatively long-term female lover and companion who is not married to her partner, especially when her partner is married. Generally, the relationship is stable and at least semi-permanent, but the couple does not live together openly and the relationship is usually, but not always, secret. A mistress is a woman who is in a relatively long-term sexual and romantic relationship with a man who is married to a different woman.
