Relationship Sabotage	comment	This is when somebody tries to ruin someone else's romantic relationship or marriage. There are various reasons someone might do this. One of the most common is that the saboteur is in love with one of the people in the relationship, and is willing to stoop pretty low to "correct" this situation. (In extreme cases, they may even try to Murder the Hypotenuse.) A non-romantic version of this arises from Friend Versus Lover situations, where a character is rivaled over by his/her best friend and the Love Interest. Alternatively, it could be that they just want Revenge for something, or that they want to free up one of the parties for a bit of gold digging, or that they're simply bitter that someone else is so happy and they're not. Sometimes, they may even be acting from a genuine, well-intentioned, and possibly even accurate belief that their friend has made a poor choice or should have chosen someone else. The range of techniques available to a relationship saboteur is similarly varied. Lying is popular - you just need to make one half of the relationship look bad, such as by fabricating evidence of an affair or trying to make them flunk a Fidelity Test. It could be as simple as giving deliberately lousy relationship advice. If the relationship is fairly new, being a deliberate Moment Killer might be an option, and might prompt the saboteur to follow the targets on dates. See also Break Up Demand for a different method of achieving the same goal. If a character simply makes their dislike of the pairing known, it's probably just a Shipping Torpedo. A specialized variant is Please Dump Me, where people try to surreptitiously sabotage their own relationship (because they don't want to end it properly for some reason), and the Intentional Heartbreaker, who goes into a relationship with no intention to see it through. Another specific variant of this trope is Kids Play Match Breaker, which is specifically for kids trying to sabotage any new relationships of their single parents. Contrast Shipper on Deck, where someone is trying to create a relationship rather than destroy one. Please know that there are instances where the saboteur is a Karma Houdini and gets away with the deed. See Love-Obstructing Parents when a parent displays this behavior. May be a supertrope of Seduction as One-Upmanship, when it involves the saboteur getting involved personally by seducing one half of the couple away from the other.

Relationship Sabotage / int_17e6cb15	comment	Implicitly done in Bojack Horseman when Diane seduces her ex-husband Mr. Peanutbutter after seeing how happy he was with his new girlfriend after their divorce, while she was single and miserable. Bojack also spent the entirety of the first season trying to sabotage the romance between Diane and Mr Peanutbutter so he can win Diane over, only to give up after being scolded by Todd for trying to crash her wedding. Bojack also sabotaged his own relationship with his girlfriend Wanda Pierce because of not knowing how to be romantic due to his one-night stand lifestyle. He lashed out at her over his director and friend Kelsey Jannings getting fired, as well as his friend Herb Hazsaz getting fired by another producer like her. Bojack also ruined the relationship between his sister Hollyhock and her boyfriend Miles, this time out of fear that he's using her for sex like Bojack did with other women. He acted as a judge in a booty academy show where Miles is an intern and told one of the contestants to seduce Miles to make him look like a cheater, but due to a misunderstanding, the contestant got laid with a gaffer, then Bojack got kicked out of the show for that. Then Miles told Bojack he could've just asked him not to date Hollyhock as he confessed he was just dating her to get Bojack to publish his screenplay. Bojack also sabotaged his own relationship again with his girlfriend Gina Cazador because of being paranoid that someone is trying to expose his secrets. After overdosing on pain pills, Bojack's insanity grew to the point he really choked Gina in a scene where they pretend to fight.

He was revealed to have a twisted romantic obsession with his former sensei and gets suspicious over the situation while wondering where Kaneki's loyalties lie as Touka is a ghoul among other ghouls in hiding and the organization Mutsuki is a part of hunts ghouls. He senses the romantic tension between the two as well before he slashes at Kaneki and knocks him out of his way so he can viciously attack Touka, with intent to kill. When they get away while holding hands, he tries to stalk after them, and his actions after that are purely done so he can get Touka out of the way so he can try to win over his beloved Sensei for himself.

Relationship Sabotage / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: Bart once tried to break up the relationship of Laura Powers, his Precocious Crush (with the added motivation that the person she was going out with had bullied him). In an earlier episode, when his best friend Milhouse started 'dating' the new girl at school, Bart tipped off the girl's Boyfriend-Blocking Dad so Milhouse would hang out with him again. He ended up regretting it. In another episode, Milhouse's parents (who several seasons back had a nasty Toilet Seat Divorce) are getting back together. Which seems great at first, except that Milhouse starts to feel that they're ignoring him. He complains about this to Bart, and Bart sees a Teen Drama on TV wherein a girl angrily dumps her boyfriend because she found another girl's bra in his room. Bart steals one of Marge's bras and leaves it in the Van Houtens' bedroom. But because the bra had Marge's name sewn into it, it's Homer and Marge's marriage that ends up on the rocks instead. Homer and Marge reconcile once they realise it was a big misunderstanding. In Dude, Where's My Ranch?, Lisa falls for a cute boy while at a dude ranch. Later on, she meets a girl their age who knows him and is looking forward to meeting him at the upcoming dance. Lisa, assuming it's his girlfriend, deliberately sends her down the wrong trail, which makes her get lost, but when Lisa learns that the girl is the boy's sister, she eventually feels guilty and helps find the girl. When she confesses to the boy, he's so disgusted by Lisa's actions that he never wants to see her again.

It's quite possible that her actions in "iSaved Your Life", where she completely fucked up Carly and Freddie's newly formed relationship by planting seeds of doubt in Freddie's mind was a subconscious desire to sabotage the relationship to keep Freddie away from Carly. Mrs. Benson actually tries to do this in "iCan't Stand It". In a way, she's right to be upset by Freddie and Sam's relationship. However, the last few minutes of the episode show how much she delighted in ruining the relationship. Maybe she's just a Control Freak?

Relationship Sabotage / int_3a9ed8b2	comment	Some characters in MÃ©nage Ã 3 aren't above meddling with others' romantic lives for their own purposes. Two notable instances: Sonya sets out, rather ineptly, to break Zii away from Erik. That relationship does eventually come apart, though only partly and indirectly because of Sonya's efforts. Right after that, she considers trying to separate Zii from her one true love and Lust Object DiDi, as he bemoans how after Zii and Erik broke up that Zii still has feelings for the other blondie DiDi but then cheerfully says how that's no matter as she has all the time in the world. Later, Lynn tries to separate DiDi from Zii â€” by the oddly honest method of telling DiDi that's what she wants, while casually pointing out that the relationship might have practical problems when DiDi starts pursuing her wrestling career.

Relationship Sabotage / int_3f3abe9	comment	Rick and Morty: At the beginning of season 3, Rick got himself arrested by the galactic federation as part of a plan to destroy it from the inside and to get revenge on Jerry for wanting to sell him off to the bureaucrats, which once Rick came back to Beth with the kids, he can pose himself as a hero that got rid of the federation's rules, Jerry instantly tries to prove again that Rick is a complete monster for making him lose his job (while he ignored that his family was suffering with the new government), Jerry then makes Beth choose between him and Rick, which obviously chose Rick as he made everything back to before the aliens colonized earth. For unlucky Jerry, as he was moving out of the house, no one seems to care about him leaving or even stopped him from leaving, also the wind was calling him a loser. In one episode which focused on Rick and Jerry, Jerry now lives in self-loathing regret of leaving his family in a decaying motel room, and once Rick drags him to a fake adventure, he indirectly learns that his divorce was Rick's fault, so he invites Rick to a rollercoaster which Jerry knows some assassins will be to kill him to both get revenge on Rick for causing Jerry's divorce and selling weapons to the assassins' enemies, but just as they were on the ride, Rick admitted his part on their brake up and sincerely would tell the truth to Beth, unfortunately it was too late for Jerry to abort the murder attempt without Rick knowing his part in it, and the dying hitman admitted he was part of the assassination. Just as Jerry tried to explain himself there, he was being eaten by an alien snake and as he was half swollen, he lashed at Rick for stealing his family, which he replies on how he uses his pity and cowardly ways to convince everyone to help him survive and makes him reflect on how he is also ruining everyone's life. After escaping the murder attempts, Rick and Jerry agreed to keep secret about the murder attempt and Rick's part in their divorce, and also made Jerry want to become stronger to win Beth back.

In the first movie, Chad and Taylor work together to break Troy and Gabriella up so the latter two won't want to audition for the musical. Chad and the rest of the basketball team corner Troy in the locker room and peer pressure him into saying that he doesn't really care that much about Gabriella and the big game is his priority. The players secretly film this, which Taylor and the science decathlon team then show to a heartbroken Gabriella. It temporarily works; Gabriella confronts Troy and both decide not to audition. Chad and Taylor start feeling remorse though, Chad and Taylor confess what they had done. In the end, Troy and Gabriella make up and rock the audition together with both the jocks and science geeks cheering them on in the audience. In High School Musical 2 Sharpay entices Troy with meetings with college basketball coaches and other favors to keep him from Gabriella and make him fall in love with her. It only partially works. Gabriella does feel abandoned and temporarily quits. Troy, however, does not develop feelings for Sharpay and works instead to gain back the trust of Gabriella and his friends. By the end of the film, he and Gabriella are back to being an Official Couple. In High School Musical 3: Senior Year, Sharpay tells Troy that he is holding Gabriella back from her dreams at Stanford, so Troy reluctantly encourages Gabriella to go. Like the second movie, this does not work out as Sharpay hoped, and Gabriella and Troy reunite to do their romantic duet in the school musical.

Relationship Sabotage / int_47dfc6f	comment	Total Drama: Because relationships are effectively alliances, there's usually someone with poor morals around that wants to see one or more not succeed. Heather forms an alliance with Lindsay and Beth in "The Big Sleep". One of her first orders to keep control over the two is for Lindsay to forget about her reciprocal crush on Tyler, who's a member of the other team. Lindsay obeys halfheartedly and picks up a relationship with Tyler after they're both eliminated. Heather becomes concerned about Gwen's and Trent's developing romance in "Search and Do Not Destroy" because a relationship equals an alliance and that's competition she can't afford. So she arranges for Gwen to walk in on her and Trent kissing by means of a fake letter. She lures Trent to the Dock of Shame and tearfully spits out lies that Gwen confessed to the other girls that she dislikes Trent and only uses him to get ahead in the game. Heather kisses Trent when Gwen shows up, making her believe that Trent's unfaithful and letting Trent believe he's being used while ensuring that neither would want to talk to the other any time soon. Due to her meddling, Trent is voted off that evening, but the truth also comes out and the two resume their relationship. In "Zeek and Ye Shall Find", Mal believes that he and Cameron need a third ally and Scott's a good pick. But to get Scott on their side, they need to destroy the budding romance between him and Courtney. Mal therefore cajoles Cameron into kissing Courtney and the two make it look like Courtney was the one to initiate it, aiming to get Scott on their side by making him believe that Courtney was two-timing him as much as she was Cameron. It doesn't work out entirely as planned, as Scott and Courtney work through it, but Mal does manage to get his hooks in Scott. Chris likes Heather's and Alejandro's belligerent romance. He does not like it when they get lovey-dovey and fail to provide any drama. Thus, to get entertaining footage, he changes the rules of the finale midway in "The Final Wreck-ening" to where the finalists and the helpers equally can claim the grand prize upon winning. With money on the line, Heather and Alejandro go back to being enemies. Sugar doesn't like that Dave and Sky are heading for a romance-alliance and sets out to disrupt any further progress in "This Is the Pits!". Whenever they have a moment, she's there to ruin it. By the end of the episode, she no longer has to bother because Chris makes Sky and Max switch teams. In "This Is the Pits!", Chris announces that he's breaking up Scarlett and Max because their romantic development would make for an unfair alliance. To prevent the team sizes from becoming unbalanced, he has Max switch teams with Sky. This creates some uncertainty about which relationship Chris is actually targeting. Although Scarlett and Max seem close, they are not romantically involved, which Chris may or may not know from confessional footage. Meanwhile, Sky and Dave are close to forming a relationship, which plenty of people know about. In either case, splitting up Scarlett and Max changes nothing about them, while splitting up Dave and Sky becomes the start of the downfall of their romance. In "Lies, Cries and One Big Prize", Chris rigs the helper selection so that Shawn and Sky both get assistance from their respective love interests: Jasmine and Dave. He lets their interactions play out until the final stretch of the race. That's when he shows the quartet what horrible things Shawn said about Jasmine and what devastating secret Sky's been keeping from Dave. As everything sinks in, he declares the helpers to now be hinderers and that the dangers of the final stretch are up to their choosing. Jasmine chooses to forgive Shawn, while after everything else that's happened Dave only wants revenge against Sky.

Basically, trolls have four romantic quadrants - "genuine love", "Morality Pet", "mediation between two others" and "mutually destructive hatelust" - and you're generally expected to have relations with a given person confined to only one quadrant. As a result, at one point Casanova Wannabe Eridan attempted to sabotage Feferi and Sollux's "genuine love" romance by trying to make Feferi mediate between himself and Sollux, which would push them out of their preferred quadrant.

They hatch a plan to entice Archer to cheat on Lana with his ex-fiancee Katya by bringing her to his apartment, but when they overhear Archer telling about Katya how much he truly loves Lana, they were all reduced to tears and intense regret, kicking themselves for how they could be so vindictive. But despite them trying to stop the desired affair at the last second, Lana did eventually find Katya's detachable robot vagina in Archer's sink that she had put in there to clean it before trying to seduce him, and Lana did indeed pop a blood vessel in rage at Archer's suspected infidelity.

Relationship Sabotage / int_7ac38ec4	comment	Rebuild World: While the relationship in question is a Fake Relationship, this is still the intention of the intervening party and the two are quite mutually dependent (and the less enthusiastic one Tsundere). Viola, after getting caught in a scheme against the two, gets An Offer You Can't Refuse from Akira to help build up Sheryl's gang, with the stipulation that Akira will execute Viola any time if Sheryl asks him to. And so Viola undertakes plans to split the two up to free herself from this stipulation. First, she tells Sheryl about The Mole Nasha hoping she'd keep her a secret from Akira, telling Akira about it first, but this fails when Sheryl tells him right away. Viola's second attempt is much grander: Have Akira catch Sheryl together with The Rival Katsuya while Sheryl is wrapping him around her finger in a Honey Trap. This fails after Sheryl goes Intentional Heart Breaker on Katsuya in response.

Liz fires all the NBC accountants, of which other Liz is one. Jack rehires the other Liz but transfers her to the Connecticut office in the hopes that long-distance will tank the relationship. It works, but Liz Lemon and Floyd eventually break up anyway when Liz is not willing to move to Cleveland with Floyd. In the season 4 episode "Floyd", Liz sees that Floyd is engaged to a new woman when he is featured on Today. She mounts her revenge by getting Floyd, a recovering alcoholic, drunk when they have dinner under the guise of catching up. Floyd then humiliates himself and his fiancee next time he is on Today due to his drunkenness. Liz feels remorse and eventually confesses and apologizes. Later in the season, Floyd marries his fiancee, so the sabotage does not work.

Because of this, and because he (not entirely inaccurately) sees Jane's mother and sisters as appalling Gold Diggers, Darcy prevents Bingley and Jane from meeting in London and encourages Bingley to break off his courtship of Jane. At least Darcy is motivated by genuine concern for his friend's happiness and regrets his actions when Elizabeth makes it clear that Jane really does love Bingley. On the other hand, Bingley's sisters rudely rebuff Jane when she tries to visit them in London and participate in the sabotage because they look down on the Bennets and because Caroline wants to marry Darcy and thinks that will be more likely to happen if Bingley were to marry Darcy's sister Georgiana.

This would ruin Ted's marriage and Keeley's relationship, but Rebecca is more concerned about sabotaging AFC Richmond itself, with Ted and Keeley being merely collateral damage. Fortunately, a friend of Keeley's manages to delay the story going public, and when Rebecca realises the photos can be traced back to her, she has the story buried. Ironically, Keeley breaks up with Jamie the very next episode, and Rebecca helps her to make that decision, though by that point she's bonded with Keeley and is acting out of genuine concern that Jamie isn't the right man for her.

Relationship Sabotage / int_d7aab7c1	comment	In the first anime of Sailor Moon, Makoto is jealous that her crush, Motoki, has a girlfriend. Upon finding out that his girlfriend is tempted to accept a job abroad that would separate them for a long period of time, Makoto nicely sits down and has a talk with her, trying to convince her to take the job. She ends the talk with the suggestion that Motoki and the girlfriend could very well pick up where they left off, before lampshading to herself how terrible she is at sabotaging relationships. Mamoru and Usagi are together or were in a past life and are aiming for that again in the present. They both get numerous love rivals for each of them with a lot of them either trying to get Usagi or Mamoru out of the way by Murder the Hypotenuse. Some of the other rivals for their love or attention try to get between the two with subtler less Yandere means.

When the two confront her about it, she not only admits that she tried to sabotage their love because she didn't approve of Yuri's educational background but also the loneliness of losing her son as a single mother. Yuri empathizes Azami's concern and forgives her, which causes Azami to change her mind about her.

And not just for her own ex-boyfriends - she's perfectly happy to break up any new relationships that might make Serena unhappy too. Chuck, as well, loves to mess with any relationships that would a) stop Blair being with him or b) distract Nate from their friendship. And Jenny does this occasionally. And Vanessa - oh, screw it, let's just say Gossip Girl is built around this trope and leave it at that, okay?

Relationship Sabotage / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel has the Romani gypsies. One moment of true happiness, one moment where the soul that was restored to Angel no longer plagues him...and that soul is taken from him. This trope, from a certain point of view, is why the spinoff show exists at all, as Angel may not have left town if his curse were fixed. The curse is specifically a 'moment of happiness', but in practice, it has never been triggered by anything but a happy relationship for Angel...be it Buffy, or a shamanic dream that includes Cordelia. ...Then in the comics, the Powers that Be get in on the action, and the relationship between Buffy and Angel creates a new universe...at the cost of the old and all 8 billion people in it.

Then, when Gene calls her at home after his suspicions that she is having yet another relationship are roused by her flimsy cover story regarding why she can't spend the weekend with him, Stormy answers the phone and pretends to yell at Betty to put some panties on before hanging up.

Upon knowing the truth of Hector's death, she still held the grudge but accepted that it was Ernesto who separated them and helped to save Hector and have a little revenge on Ernesto. This is unintentional not because Ernesto did or did not want to separate them but because he cared more about fame, fortune, and being a national hit than the consequences of his actions.

Relationship Sabotage / int_efa826d6	comment	In The Sleeping Beauty Killer, the Under Suspicion team investigate the possibility that someone - in particular the Raleigh family - were intentionally trying to undermine Hunter and Casey's relationship. Hunter's father James Raleigh makes it clear he never approved of Casey and all but ordered Hunter to end things with her. The team speculates that James could've had his other son Andrew or his personal assistant Mary Jane slip Casey a roofie at the Raleigh Foundation gala, so that she'd appear to be drunk and make a fool of herself, ideally prompting Hunter to break up with her. Hunter's ex, Gabrielle Lawson, also intentionally followed him around and let paparazzi take photos of her cosying up to him in the hopes it would re-spark their relationship, also enlisting the help of gossip columnist Mindy Sampson, who reported that Hunter was considering leaving Casey for Gabrielle. While James did encourage and facilitate Gabrielle's attempts to win Hunter back, neither he or anyone in his inner circle drugged Casey. It's revealed that Casey's own cousin, Angela Hart, was the one who roofied Casey at the gala, with the intention of embarrassing her and Hunter, hoping that Hunter - whom she was in love with - would see her as an uncouth drunk who wasn't worthy of him. However, when Angela brought this up with Hunter after he took Casey home, Hunter angrily dismissed this, making it clear he had no plans to leave Casey and that he could tell that Casey wasn't just drunk. Angela did not take this well.

Methods range from planting a woman's earring in Ted's bed so his girlfriend thinks he's cheating on her, to planting a Creed CD in the girlfriend's apartment so that Ted becomes disgusted with her, to dressing up in the girlfriend's Darth Vader costume, pretending to be her, and telling Ted they should see other people. Later on, Lily is called upon to break Barney and Robin up, but a sudden bout of Complexity Addiction almost does her in.

Relationship Sabotage / int_f6c05e8e	comment	Friends: Phoebe does this to Monica and Chandler a few times, whether accidental or deliberate, by playing on Chandler's fears as an Insecure Love Interest. She tells him Monica saw her old boyfriend Richard and later introduces Monica's 'soulmate' right in front of him (and AFTER they're married). Thanks to Monica and Chandler's strong relationship, nothing sticks and the only result is several heartwarming scenes of Monica promising Chandler is the love of her life and she's not interested in anyone else. It's not clear if Phoebe is just being her usual Cloud Cuckoo Lander self or a Green-Eyed Monster that they're happy and she isn't. Rachel tries to do this several times regarding the relationships of whatever man she wanted for herself — trying to keep Ross and Julie from sleeping together, convincing Bonnie to shave her head, discouraging other women from pursuing Tag by telling them he's gay, telling Charlie incorrect information about Joey, etc. In "The One With The East German Laundry Detergent", one of Joey's old girlfriends is dating someone Monica's interested in, so they conspire to break the two up, mostly through the judicious use of backhanded compliments. It actually works perfectly (though the two love interests are both gone by the next episode and never mentioned again.) In "The One with Five Steaks and an Eggplant", Chandler gets a call from a woman who thinks his number is from her ex, "Bob", with whom she wants to hook-up with. Chandler takes advantage of this by pretending he's Bob, so he can sabotage said relationship by setting up a date, but then showing up as Chandler and "comforting" the woman who will be on On the Rebound over being stood up by "Bob". Ross finds the entire thing very questionable and admonishes Chandler about it, but Chandler goes through with it anyway and succeeds in hooking up with her... only to get his comeuppance when she calls "Bob" again only to tell him how awful Chandler was in bed.
