History Main / SerialHomewrecker

* ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'': Mikado Sanzenin is a man who wants to kiss as many women as he can (with an established goal of one thousand and boasting that he is quite close to getting there), without giving a damn about such details as the girl's consent or marital status. This reputation becomes somewhat more literal than usual when it turns out that his signature double-team attack with Asuza Shiratori (which is to grab the girl of an opponent skating couple, wait until the guy tries to pull her away, and then twist around like a tornado until one team member eventually lets go of the other, getting the guy badly hurt and hopefully breaking the team's mutual trust) has the name of "the Couple Cleaver".

* ''WebAnimation/EtraChanSawIt'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkxWQQXzotk In this story]], when Akane called Tachibana about Yuzuriha's presence at their last matchmaking party after Hiiragi broke up with her friend Yuri, Tachibana revealed [[spoiler:Yuzuriha had a reputation in high school for stealing other girls' boyfriends, or at least guys whom other girls crushed on.]]
* ''WebAnimation/GossipCity'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9CUbj912mg Kana]] [[spoiler:was revealed to have multiple boyfriends and Asuka's husband Yujiro was her favorite. After exposing her to her own husband who divorces her and leaves her alone in the apartment, Kana receives lawsuits from all of her boyfriends' wives.]]
* ''WebAnimation/RevengeFilms'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06UMrrL5Iqw Ali's sister]] is implied to be this as she not only slept with Ali's husband, [[spoiler:but she's last shown being chased down by other women as Ali herself narrates that her sister had multiple affairs and received several lawsuits for them all.]]

* ''WebAnimation/MoniRobo'':
** ''[[https://youtu.be/3Oh9hAE05yg My older sister stole all of my boyfriends…]]'': After numerous failed attempts to steal Hanayo's current boyfriend and now-husband Rio, on top of [[spoiler:escaping her angry ex-boyfriends and their demands for compensation, Reina decided to hook up with ''married men''. Given her usual routine with guys, it didn't take much for their wives to sue her for alimony, and even her doting parents kicked her out of the house. She is reduced to desperate part-time jobs to pay the huge debts she racked up.]]
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7jtCzoMPts My childhood friend stole my fiancé, but little did she know….]]'' [sic]: Right when Rena was about to leave the sharehouse in disillusion after finding out Masayoshi had debt, three women showed up and reveal themselves as [[spoiler:the wives of Rena's past lovers]]. Turns out she didn't care if the man she prowled after was married as long as he was rich.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06UMrrL5Iqw Ali's sister]] is implied to be this as she not only slept with Ali's husband, [[spoiler:but she's last shown being chased down by other women as Ali herself narrates that her sister had multiple affairs and received several lawsuits for them all.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqeLN2upYfU Sadie]] was rumored to have been stealing boyfriends from other girls. Kristie found out that the rumors were true after her boyfriend broke up with her three days after she introduced Sadie to him.

Subtrope of HasAType. Related to HoneyTrap and ReallyGetsAround. Usually found in {{Cuckold}} situations.

Put simply, these are people who prefer their sex buddies married, in a relationship, or otherwise romantically involved. Perhaps it's the challenge involved in getting a committed partner to be unfaithful, or perhaps they have a morbid fascination with monogamy. For whatever reason, they'll bed a married woman in her husband's own home while he works late, or take a guy home with them from the club after seeing him with his girlfriend, and be completely okay with this behaviour.

In its darkest form, which doesn't exist in the male version of the trope, a female Serial Homewrecker [[{{Envy}} wishes to take away from married women]] [[GreenEyedMonster what she herself cannot have i.e. a home and family]]. In this case, she weaponizes her illicit relationship with the husband, often trying to get him to leave his family for her, just to dump him afterwards and try again on another man, the real target being other women whose life and status she envies.

* ''Virtual Girl'' has an odd example with an artificial intelligence designed as a [[KissMeImVirtual sex program]] which starts to prefer ''married'' men over the original target demographic (single men), to the point of [[StalkerWithACrush stalking the main character]] and [[AIIsACrapshoot attempting to destroy his life]]. Obviously, this defeats the entire purpose of creating such a program in the first place [[spoiler:which makes sense when it's revealed that the program was corrupted by one of the original people who worked on it.]]

* ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'': Mikado Sanzenin is a man who wants to kiss as many women as he can, without giving a damn about such details as the girl's consent or marital status. This reputation becomes somewhat more literal than usual when it turns out that his signature double-team attack with Asuza Shiratori (which is to grab the girl of an opponent skating couple, wait until the guy tries to pull her away, and then twist around like a tornado until one team member eventually lets go of the other, getting the guy badly hurt and hopefully breaking the team's mutual trust) has the name of "the Couple Cleaver".

* Martin in ''Literature/{{Spectrum}}'' prefers to date married women who are fine with their own husbands and are only looking for a casual affair. That's because he doesn't feel ready for a committed relationship and wants to make it as clear as possible he isn't planning marriage. Also, he likes a mature and experienced woman, because AgeGapRomance is gross. [[spoiler:In the end, he is in love with and engaged to Irina, unmarried, eighteen years his junior.]]

Then got another married girl pregnant- you should have gone for the head!

* SiblingMurder: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1qDIR7oS64 Toshi]] pushed his sister Kaho in front of a speeding truck, leaving her son Ken behind. He and his wife refuse to raise him, but Kaho's friend Natsuki intervened and decided that she will raise him. Years later, it turns out that [[spoiler:he murdered Kaho in cold blood just to get insurance money and pay his debts to shady people. On top of that, the truck driver was also in on it.]]
