It's sociopathic and very sad and pathetic. But there's lots of people out there like that, of both genders.

Oh, and there's also just sex addict type women desperate for touch and any affection. But the ones that plot and plan are doing it mostly because they dont like other women and want all the men for themselves

Married men are responsible for their infidelities. Women who target married men also are targeting the wives and kids. The goal is total destruction of a family, not just 'an affair'. Very sick and very destructive behavior.

In my experience, affairs just happen when two people are attracted to each other. It's unfortunate (and terribly short-sighted) when people such as the woman you describe act on their impulses in their own social circle, but I don't think she nor anyone is purposefully targeting your husband just because he's married to YOU.

This. Or even unhappily married people who do want to get divorced but are confused or just want to have an affair as their marriage is unwinding. I think some married women see single women as a threat and don’t want them around, but in reality most single women are not going to waste time on a married guy. Unhappily married women are a much bigger threat than single women.
