Let's imagine two people. Both married. They happen upon one another and begin a secret (bot not so secret as they were caught kissing on camera) affair. They both divorce their spouses and begin a relationship together.
Now let's look at the definition of home wrecker:
Ok there is no technical definition for "home wrecker" in the dictionary. But we can imagine it's pretty close to the aforementioned scenario. Am I right or am I right?
In Leann Rimes and Eddie Cibrian's case, there were two homes. And then both were wrecked. Yet Rimes insists that that label cannot be used in this situation. That there were problems in her marriage before Eddie came along and put the nail in the marital coffin.
She says, "The hardest thing to hear is someone call either of us a home wrecker because we didn't walk into a perfectly happy marriage and ruin it."This just leads me to ask one question: What defines a home wrecker?
If both parties are at fault, is it a home-wrecking situation? We usually link this word to one person coming into someone's life and causing a rift in their existing relationship. But it does take two to tango, doesn't it? Leann Rimes has my head spinning!
Can you define a home wrecker? Do Leann and Eddie fall under that category?

they wrecked their own lives. everyone should be held responsible for their own actions and labeling it doesn't help because we don't know the full story. to be honest, i just don't care because i'm busy dealing with my life.
Well, first off, it does take two to tango.
I think it's wrong to prance into somebody's home and just lay it all out.
Home wrecker is a term used when you can actually shame someone. She is above being shamed, so it doesn't work quite the same. She is successful as is he. It's not like the crackwhore decided to just show up out of some sort'of wayward anything.
I think that spouses let it happen as well by not saying something while it was going on.
You have to build a strong relationship if you're ever going to survive, especially successful individuals because everyone wants success -- or most people will attack that one before an ordinary relationship because they want something more. If even to cause drama for their next interview.
Anyone else interested in Octo Mom's New Home, rather than the current issue at hand?
takes two. this situation is slightly different because both eddie and leanne were in relationships.
in the typical situation, i'm more inclined to blame the person in the relationship than the titular "home wrecker." the single person has less responsibility than the one supposedly in a committed relationship.
ugh, get over it everyone. Like that is really front page news worthy....marriages break up all the time.
I'm pretty much on her side. I don't think it's necessarily right to try getting with someone when they're already in a relationship, but I do think the term "home wrecker" is false. The other person is not wrecking the marriage, it's whatever happened previous that caused the person in the relationship to not feel comitted.
He's kinda hot. Oh right, well the course of true love never did run smooth. If they weren't happy with their current situation, then they have the right to seek happiness elsewhere, life's too short.
i'd consider a homewrecker someone who seduces a person in a committed and functional serious relationship, causing that relationship to end, and not forming a new one. kind of just like a passing storm that ruins everything. if the two people end up together in the end, then it sort of implies that the first relationship was not meant to be, am i wrong?
@MissPixieGlitter@xanga - Thank you! I agree. I feel that in cheating type of situations, if one person is single, then the person who cheated should be more at fault. Yes, it is wrong to be with someone if you know they are already in a committed relationship, but what if the "taken" person pursued the "single" person?
I'm probably going to get shit on for this, but if a person is single they hardly did anything wrong. It was the other person who decided to be unfaithful.Baaaaah......this is complicated, if you ask me.
They both were in the wrong because they both were married and whatnot, but if there were problems in their relationships, then I guess you can't exactly say that one person seduced the other into a relationship with them. It sounds like the relationship happened naturally. (shrug)
Wether the marriage was a happy one or not doesn't matter. If she get's involved with a married man and has to do it behind the wife's back then she is a homewrecker.
i dont think so because it seems mutual like both wrecked their own things... and i mean homewrecker insinuates that the wrecker didnt have a solid thing going. which both did. and we'll just leave at that.
that is like having a fender bender with a car and not owning up to any responsibility because she thinks the car is a p.o.s anyway, so she thinks she holds no liability if in this case, she said that she didn't walk into a perfectly happy marriage and ruin it. she is a homewrecker whether the home was happy or not and he is also liable, because they're having relations with people other than their own spouse. she is trying to find loopholes into not being called a whore and he is no exception to being a whore either if they sleep around while they're married.
I don't think a home wrecker EVER walks into a "perfectly happy marriage" and ruins it. There's always an issue- because there's always infidelity!
I don't like the term home wrecker anyway. It takes two to tango. More like home wreckerS.
@xeasternxglow@xanga - Although I think it's wrong if the single person KNOWS the other is in a relationship. Like, they should know better than to encourage that behavior.
I feel really bad for people who get into a relationship and then realize the person is already with someone else as well. Yikes!
@xeasternxglow@xanga - i feel like both people are wrong in this situation. at least if the single one was aware of the taken one's relationship status. yes, the one in the relationship is more wrong, because they're hurting two people and ruining a relationship, but the single one is also taking part in ruining a relationship.
I don't believe that anyone can break up a relationship or a marriage other than the two people involved in it in the first place. It's so easy to blame the 'other woman' or the 'other man' when you're cheated on, but that person didn't break it up. Your cheating SO did.
@Sirius_Fan_Girl@xanga - That's true too. What if the single person doesn't know the other person is in a relationship? Is that homewrecking if they didn't even know there was something to wreck..

@dingdong75750 - Fuck off
They both knew that the other one was married, and they certainly knew they had their own significant other at home, but she was cheating with someones husband and he was cheating with someone's wife. That says homewrecker to me.
I really like her excuse of "it wasn't a perfect marriage". She's basically saying that if your "marriage is having problems, it's OK".
Infidelity is NOT illegal in America but it's almost as if it should be.
I think a "homewreaker" involves kids. But we don't know their stories, although not the smartest moves, who are we to judge their lives?
frankly, there is no point to that word at all because it could be used to describe any couple that gets divorced for any reason. It always takes two and people that are happily married in the first place arent going to go anywhere else. Lets just get over it, stay out of people's lives and not label people.
