Or convinced then to get out of it?

No I never have. The only reason to convince someone to leave a marriage is if it involves abuse, drinking or drugs. Otherwise you are a home wrecker.

Yes, and I very much regret it. I was very young then, and didn't know any better. It serves as a lesson to me that marriages need to be respected. The only reasons that you should convince someone to leave a marriage is if they or their children are in a life threatening situation. Cheating, maybe, but even that is an iffy one, because marriages can still be fixed after a spouse cheats and be a faithful, working marriage all the years after that.

I don't think another person is the reason a marriage falls apart. The decisions that the individual people make in that relationship, and their feelings or reasons for doing so, is what tears that bond apart.
I have helped a friend see that abuse (physical & mental) was not acceptable for her and her daughter, and helped them "get out" of that surrounding. So, I guess that is convincing someone, although completely for their own good, not any benefit for me personally.

No but I was accused of doing so by someone who knows better! This person thinks I had to be the cause because why else would he not want to go back .....hmmm, because she cheated on him like 7 times, left him to go live with her boyfriend in another state several times, had her boyfriend living with her while her husband slept in the extra room, wasn't sure who the father of her kid was and told him for 18 months it wasn't his, broke everything he ever had of any value or sentimental value, lied to him, went into crazy rages......shall I continue? I think not. The love was gone the first year according to him and I was not the cause dear, she was.....but, live and learn and then move on right?

I tried to get my friend to cancel her wedding, but she didn't listen. They still ended up getting a divorce. She should have just listened to me in the first place.
Have I ever been a homewrecker though??? I've never broken up a marriage. But I have been the "other woman"

No. I personally have never gotten knowingly involved with someone who was married or was even in a regular dating relationship. One woman misled me to believe that she was unattached while she was engaged to a man in another city. She didn't tell me for a year and that started a painful period until she broke it off with the other guy. We married 44 years ago (after 3 years of dating) and are glad that we stayed together..

No, and I've actually vowed never to be anyone's "other man." I've been on the other end of that and it stings a little. I don't intend to ever "sting" anyone.
It's also very unfair. Most likely you have two people really trying to make a go of it, and at a rough spot in the relationship, in sweeps "Mr. or Ms. Wonderful," and knocks their blocks down. Wonderful wasn't trying to make ends meet with their new person, or raise children with them, or trying to work through a rough spot. She/he just swept in and was wonderful, and that's the unfair advantage of "the other person." They are perfect, because that's all you get to see. You see that of your spouse, but you've also seen them at their worst - unfair.
