* EntitledBastard:

to:

* EntitledBastard: DramaticallyMissingThePoint: When the antagonist realizes they've been abusing someone who can seriously hurt them back, they will beg for clemency... and insist that "I would never have done what I did if I'd known who you were!" or some variation, and get very surprised when their victim refuses to accept the "apology", since they instead believe you shouldn't abuse ''anyone''.

* AcademiaElitism: These type of antagonists are often used as a foil to a less educated protagonist. Common variants of the trope include:
** [[ObnoxiousInLaws Evil in-laws]] who don't approve of the protagonist's marriage because of the protagonist's lower level of education.
** Incompetent and/or lazy workers who brag about their education and mock the protagonist for their poorer education.
** [[ParentalFavoritism Parents who favor the protagonist's sibling]] because of their superior education. Depending on the story, the sibling could be an arrogant jerk, or disgusted by their parents' mistreatment of their sibling.

Added DiffLines:

* InLoveWithLooks:
** If a male antagonist is a cheater, his reason for cheating is almost always because his wife is old, plain or ugly, while his affair partner is younger and/or more beautiful. While some husbands might use natural beauty as an excuse, others will [[BlamingTheCuckold claim that their cheating is their wives' fault]] for not taking care of their looks, not wearing makeup, or gaining weight.
** {{Gold digger}}s who are married or engaged to wealthy but unattractive people will sometimes try to have their cake and eat it too by having more attractive lovers on the side, which often results in them getting divorced and sued. The gold digger's lover will either leave them or end up stuck living a miserable life of poverty alongside them.

Added DiffLines:

* FairWeatherEx: Stories in which the protagonist is cheated on and/or abandoned will almost always end with the betrayer trying to get back together with the protagonist for a selfish reason.
** If the protagonist [[RichesToRags was once poor but became wealthy]], the [[GoldDigger antagonist]] will ask to get back together in hopes of getting money.
** If the antagonist broke up with the protagonist to be with someone "better", they will try to get back with the protagonist the minute their new relationship goes sour.
** If the protagonist was [[BestFriendsInLaw liked by their in-laws]], expect the antagonist to want to get back together with them to repair their relationship with their family.

* CreatorsCultureCarryover: While the stories are stated to be set in the USA, the series is based on a Chinese series called 'Happy Texts' and many plots hinge on concepts that are unfamiliar to American culture, such as: companies merging via marriage of the children of the respective CEO of each company, husbands expecting to inherit the business that belongs to their ''wife's'' family, men assuming that they own a house or apartment when the deed is actually in their partner's name, pregnant mothers staying with their parents instead at home with their husbands, people expecting their friends to constantly foot the bill for restaurants as a way of showing how they value their relationship, [[PoseOfSupplication apologizing or begging for forgiveness on hands and knees,]] ''excessive'' karma for unfilial children even if they're still in their teens, people being officially disowned by their families, or the numerous rapid and easily obtained divorces (even with no-fault divorce it can take several months for the ruling to go through in the USA, and the person who ''doesn't'' instigate has to be physically served with the papers first, rather than the papers being left for them to discover).

* ShallowCannotComprehendTrueLove:
** In stories involving a LoveTriangle between an [[UglyHeroGoodLookingVillain ugly protagonist and a good-looking antagonist]], if the protagonist's lover chooses the protagonist over the antagonist, the latter will become confused that someone would choose to be with an ugly person when more attractive options are available. The protagonist or the lover then typically explains that [[TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside not everyone chooses people based on their looks]].
** If the protagonist's lover is wealthy, then the GoldDigger antagonist will accuse the protagonist of being after the money when in actuality the protagonist [[NotWithThemForTheMoney is genuinely in love with their partner]].

Better trope


** In stories that feature an [[UglyHeroGoodLookingVillain an ugly protagonist and a good-looking antagonist]], the antagonist will often attempt to steal the protagonist's lover via their looks and sex appeal, with their attraction being based on a [[{{Sadist}} desire to hurt the protagonist]], the lover's looks and/or [[GoldDigger money]], or [[OffendedByAnInferiorsSuccess offense that an ugly person could get married before them]] rather than actual feelings for the lover. In stories where the antagonist succeeds in stealing away the lover, they are quick to abandon or cheat on their new partner when something better comes along, especially if the protagonist has found a new, better lover for them to steal. If the antagonist fails, they will often express [[EvilCannotComprehendGood confusion and disbelief that a person would rather stay faithful to an ugly person rather than cheat with a more attractive person]]. Meanwhile, the protagonist is always indifferent to their lover's status, money, and looks, and chooses them based on their personalities, only leaving them due to serious reasons such as infidelity, abuse, laziness, etc rather than fickle desire.

Added DiffLines:

* CheaterGetsCheatedOn:
** Cheating antagonists almost always become shocked and enraged when they discover that their affair partner is sleeping with people behind their back, not understanding that someone who is willing to have an affair probably wouldn't be faithful to them either. Some common variations include:
*** Men who use their money to attract women discovering the hard way that a [[GoldDigger woman who chooses men based on their financial status]] would probably leave them the minute a wealthier man came along.
*** Beautiful/young women not understanding that a man who would leave his current wife/girlfriend for a prettier/younger woman would do the same thing to them when they get old or when an even prettier woman comes along or that their beauty/youth isn't enough to keep an unfaithful man from cheating.
*** [[TheMistress Mistresses]] discovering that the man they're cheating with has other mistresses besides them or is willing to cheat on them as well.
*** Cheaters who claim their affair partner is their "true love" finding out that their cheating partner only saw them as a fling.
*** Cheating husbands finding out that their pregnant mistresses are carrying another man's baby.
*** Homewreckers who steal other people's lovers getting their stolen lover taken from them.
** (From the Air Texts channel)[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgpGqVip8FQ "My friend invited to her wedding with my ex but no one's laughing when they meet my husband"]]: Emma, who seduced Ryder away from her friend Mika, is not happy to learn on her wedding day that Ryder was also in a relationship with one of his co-workers, acting hypocritical about it.

* DisownedSibling: Stories where the antagonist is the protagonist's toxic sibling will inevitably have the protagonist cut ties with their sibling. Some stories have toxic siblings cutting ties out of pride or because they feel being associated with the protagonist will make them look bad. While the protagonists are willing to cut their siblings out of their lives for good, the antagonists have no problem [[CrossingTheBurntBridge going back to their sibling when it's convenient]].
