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, perhaps they have a morbid fascination with monogamy, or perhaps the idea of seducing another person's lover and emasculating them gives them a feeling of superiority. 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. While the trope in itself is quite gender-neutral, the trope is played out differently depending on whether the character is male or female. A male Serial Homewrecker will be seen as the sexual competitor he is but rarely an actual antagonist, even if the main character is also male. Instead, he is way more likely to pass off as a regular lady killer or a Chick Magnet, just a less ethical one, since he's usually motivated by sexual gratification and the thrill of the challenge to be better in bed than their target's husbands, especially if said husband is richer than him. In any case, his casual flings and flirts are usually not depicted as direct threats to a marriage, just regular gallivanting since he never wants the married women he has sex with to leave their husbands and kids for him, he just wants the good sex with a woman willing to experiment in bed what she won't do with her husband. Typically, a male Serial Homewrecker is a Hunk or Tall, Dark, and Handsome to explain his success with women and, when it's brought up, very well endowed downstairs. A female Serial Homewrecker is much more often an antagonist, especially if the protagonist is another woman. Quite unlike her male counterpart, her motivations for looking especially for married men are much darker and are conflated with Daddy Issues in the most Anvilicious takes on the trope. Even though she is sometimes just a lustful hedonist, she's more often than not a Foil to a more virtuous heroine and is always on the "whore" end of the Madonna-Whore Complex and will very often be called just that by other women, while men will usually lust after her. In its darkest form, which doesn't exist in the male version of the trope, a female Serial Homewrecker wishes to take away from married women 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. Like her male counterpart, this character is often Ms. Fanservice, often in a Femme Fatale kind of way. You will hardly find a female homewrecker as a protagonist, but a male one can be at times. Much more frequently, this trope is relegated to side characters who exist as a hurdle to the main character's arc, tempting them to be unfaithful as a moral challenge. Compare and contrast archetypes such as The Vamp and The Casanova. Female versions of the trope are very common antagonists in the Lifetime Movie of the Week, and usually pay a very high price for this behaviour. Subtrope of Has a Type. Related to Honey Trap and Really Gets Around. Usually found in Cuckold situations. Compare/Contrast Attempted Homewrecker, which this character might also be if they are rejected by someone they want to be with. Examples |

Marina Diamandis' song "Homewrecker" is from the perspective of a woman who jets between relationships, breaking up her lovers' marriages in the process, before moving on to the next one and leaving her lover brokenhearted. Deconstructed, as she's a Broken Bird who doesn't think she'll ever find true love. | |

Desperate Housewives: Edie is mentioned to have slept with lots of married men. However, late in Season 1 when Mike chooses Susan over her, she seems to actively prefer married men and men that specifically had been married to the housewives: in Season 2, she had an affair with Susan's ex Karl (now married to someone else), and she "steals" Gaby's husband Carlos, although the two are separated, in Season 3 which continues in Season 4; she even kisses Orson in Season 4. Lynette describes this as Edie's problem at the end of Season 4. | |

Ranma ½: 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 just shy of 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". | |

Michonne is accused of being this by Heath in The Walking Dead; he believes it's because she feels the need to prove she's "better" than other women. There's a more likely explanation, though: her romantic history strongly suggests that she's only attracted to black men, and there are few enough of them around that she'll go after any that seem receptive, whether they're currently attached or not. | |

Andor: When Cassian visits his friend and ex-lover Bix the morning after getting shaken down by (and unintentionally murdering) some corpo rent-a-cops, she asks him if he got the bruise on his face from getting punched by "another husband". A bit later, it's revealed that Cassian has a reputation for being a bit of a womanizer, implying that at least some of his hookups have been with married women, leading to Bix's current boyfriend assuming Cassian's making moves on his girl. | |

Exploited in an episode of Rules of Engagement, where Russell overhears an attractive woman saying to a friend that she prefers married men, as then there's no commitment. He then pretends to be a married man whose relationship with his wife is on the rocks, which succeeds in getting her in a hotel room with him. She suggests they try some bondage, and he eagerly agrees, getting Chained to a Bed... at which point she promptly ransacks his stuff, robbing him blind and cheerfully leaving him there. Turns out, she's pulled this stunt on multiple men and goes after the married ones specifically since they can't report it without explaining to the cops (and their wives) what, exactly, they were doing in a hotel room with her. | |

This is fodder for a joke in Red Ears. A lothario is shown having sex with multiple different married women in a Sex Montage, then shows him handing his male buddy at a diner a note from an angry husband who is threatening to kill him. His friend suggests simply calling off that affair, but is rebuffed: the guy who sent the note didn't sign it. | |

Mad Men: Joan enjoys her sexuality and as she works at an advertising agency, she's mostly surrounded by married men who all want her. She has an affair with Paul Kinsey but ends it because he bragged about her, a one-night stand with Harry Crane, and has a lengthy affair (covering a period of years) with professional partner Roger Sterling. Although Joan and Roger's relationship is loving, she implies later that she viewed sex as her purpose, as she feels intense guilt for Lane's suicide because she feels she could have stopped it if she slept with him. However, Joan actually goes out of her way to tell her partners that she doesn't intend for them to leave their wives. Don starts off as a subversion (he genuinely believes he can run away with Rachel in Season 1 and loses interest in Midge when he realizes she's in love with someone else). However, after his marriage to Megan between Season 4 and 5, he seems to prefer married women, such as his downstairs neighbor, because he won't be asked to leave Megan. |

James Bond in Casino Royale's Bond is completely this. Bond's conversation with Vesper Lynd regarding his interest in women. Specifically, he initially rebukes Vesper, and when asked why she's not his type, he responds that she's "single." Subverted, in that he eventually does sleep with her. Double subverted when it's discovered she had a boyfriend all along. Another example from the is Solange Dimitrios, the wife of Bond's first mark in the film, who even gives us this exchange, hinting that it's because either It's Not You, It's My Enemies or Married to the Job is at play. |

Revenge Films: "My sister slept with my husband…" Ali's older sister is implied to be this as she not only slept with Ali's husband, but she's last shown being chased down by other women (implied to be her lovers' wives) while Ali herself narrates that her sister had multiple affairs and received several lawsuits for them all. "This girl told me she was pregnant with my husband's child, but I'm not married...": Sadie was rumored to have been stealing boyfriends from other girls. Kristi found out that the rumors were true after her boyfriend broke up with her three days after she introduced Sadie to him. "I rushed home because my house was on fire... My wife lied that she was at home...": Anna was revealed to not only have affairs with wealthy men after being forced to pay compensation to her ex-husband Max, but she also had secret romps with married men. Unsurprisingly, she ends up being chased down by her lovers' wives for settlement money. Sister-in-law “This is my boyfriend� He was my stalker... My husband's plan...": Britney's sister-in-law Jill bragged about how she stole other girls' boyfriends, which caused her brother Jack to be chewed out by his female classmates and warn the OP about not interacting with her. However, Jack took advantage of his sister's homewrecking tendencies as she hooked up with Britney's stalker Roger to get both of them off their backs. "My wife took the kids and left while I was at work. Did I do something?": The temp worker who asked Noah Williams out was notorious for targeting married men; six months after he rejected her, she asked another married male employee out, which he obliged. However, the lovebirds get caught and this resulted in the employee getting demoted, divorced, and sued for alimony. While the temp worker was also ordered to pay alimony, she got fired because she was a contract employee. "Husband cheated on me and got another girl pregnant, but tried to give me the child,": OP's ex-husband is a rare male example; he turned out to be a serial cheater to the point of seducing married women, even when constantly hounded for compensation because of his cheating antics on top of the childcare costs for the disabled child his latest mistress left with him and his mother before vanishing. "My wife was cheating on me with 25 different men": When OP's wife begs him for forgiveness after finding out he discovered her affairs as well as her sex videos and emails that proved it, the OP revealed some of the men she slept with were married and/or engaged; he even brought up how their wives and fiancées will sue her for what she did. |

In Teen Idol by Meg Cabot, main character Jenny is secretly the agony aunt, Ask Annie, for her high school newspaper, and entries from this column are interspersed throughout the book. One of these is from a girl using the name Wannabe Yours... Till I Am, who is seeking advice because she only seems to be attracted to guys who are already dating her friends. Ask Annie's advice is, um, less than helpful: she advises the girl to "keep your mitts off your friends' guys," without giving any idea of how to do that. | |

Criminal Minds: Played with, in that they're already members of a swinger community and it's more "Homewrecker by proxy," but one unsub's fantasy scenario is having his wife sleep with another married man until he steps in and takes over, thereby proving his manliness is superior to the other's. |

Martin in 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 Age-Gap Romance is gross. In the end, he is in love with and engaged to Irina, who is unmarried and eighteen years his junior. | |

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: A small Running Gag in the first season is that two male characters mention leaving their wives for a prostitute. The Stinger in "Josh and I Work on a Case!" reveals that it was the same (unseen) prostitute breaking up marriages this whole time. Series creator Rachel Bloom offers the interpretation that the prostitute herself wasn't the problem, but the men were just using her as an excuse to leave their wives. | |

Ted from The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals is sleeping with the married Charlotte and implies this is a pattern for him. However, it's also shown that he has sincere romantic feelings for her, making it hard to tell whether he genuinely is this trope, or if he's just claiming to be so he can cover up his emotions since she still wants to stay with her husband. | |
