* In the 2007 version of ''Film/{{Hairspray|2007}}'', AlphaBitch Velma tries to seduce Wilbur simply so she can cause strife between Wilbur and his wife. Wilbur is so faithful to his wife that he seems completely oblivious to her advances, but Velma's plan works anyway because she just throws herself at Wilbur as his wife comes in the door to "catch" them in the "act".

* Literature/BewareOfChicken, Jin only has eyes for Meiling even when they are only betrothed, despite interacting with a number of very beautiful women. At one point he helps Meiling strip one of of those beautiful women to treat her injuries and is more distracted by watching Meiling work than the patient. Admittedly she was beat to crap at the time but still. At another point a woman is assigned to 'meet all his needs' and it is explicitly assumed that that will include sexual favours. He turns her down immediately.

Similar to CelibateHero, as the character certainly recognizes the hints, but simply feels no urge to reciprocate due to being in a relationship. SisterTrope to SorryImGay and related to BoyfriendBluff and WeddingRingDefense. Often overlaps with OneTrueLove. Contrast ImAManICantHelpIt and AllMenArePerverts.

* In ''Film/DieHard2'', the airport clerk who helps John early on suggests they could go out later on. John shows off his wedding ring, and says [[IncrediblyLamePun "Just the fax, ma'am".]] Her timing was just a little off as this is the only film in the franchise where John and Holly are happily married.

* ''Series/{{Monk}}'': The titular Adrian Monk is a widower unfailingly devoted to his late wife. He is largely oblivious to most women who flirt with him and while there were a few instances where he realized he was attracted to other women (most of whom [[HasAType bore a resemblance to his wife]]), he never strays.

* ''Series/{{Outlander}}'': When Jamie is accused of coercing the daughter of one of their tenants into a sexual relationship which supposedly lead to the girl's current pregnancy, it never even occurs to Claire to consider that he might be guilty. She knows Jamie would never cheat on her in a million years. She's more upset that the girl she's been mentoring would attack her marriage in this way and she's also concerned that the Protestant tenants may be willing to believe the worst of Jamie simply because he's Catholic.

* ''Series/RaisingHope'': Burt and Virginia. Although Burt ''does'' flirt with his customers to get things like lemonade, he really only wants to be with Virginia. His HappyPlace is even an island where he has a harem of the hottest women in the world...and they're all Virginia, and he states that if she were to die, he wouldn't remarry or even hook up with anyone else. And while he ''does'' spend time at a local gay bar, he just likes the atmosphere, and the one person he leaves with is [[spoiler: Virginia in disguise.]] For her part, Virginia is always loyal and faithful to him as well.

* In the Music/PaulaAbdul song ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAAVdUlnshA Forever your girl]]'', the type of relationship is never decisively stated, but the singer is quite adamant about being loyal that though there is a boy rumored to be trying to seduce her away from the one she gave her heart, she says "Even if he promised me the world" she'll always be "[[TitleDrop forever your girl]]".

* {{Averted}} in Myth/CelticMythology, where [[WorldsStrongestMan Cú Chulainn]] ReallyGetsAround despite being HappilyMarried to [[SageLoveInterest Emer]]. The difference from this and most myths is that Emer seems fine with this, as long as it's ''just'' sex--the one time that it looked like her "[[AffectionateNickname little hound]]" would actually leave her for the other woman (a goddess, incidentally), Emer and her friends [[BewareTheNiceOnes attacked them with knives]].

* ''Theatre/TheMerryWivesOfWindsor'': The titular wives aren't interested in love letters because they're married- though the suitor being [[AbhorrentAdmirer Falstaff]] certainly didn't help anything. The Pages exemplify this the most, as Mr. Page completely disregards a warning of the affair because he is trusts her to not cheat, but after Mr. Ford has been taught a lesson in trust, it's shown that this also applies to the Fords' marriage.

* Like in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'', there are prostitutes hanging around the towns you can visit in ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption''. Unlike in ''Grand Theft Auto'', player character John Marston won't make use of their services. If he passes by one and she propositions him, he'll politely turn her down with something along the lines of, "Sorry, ma'am, I'm married."
