Talking to, flirting with, even trying to date a girl who is "taken" is not necessarily "trying to break a couple apart."
The way I see it: if a you're with someone who you only sort of like, you might be looking for a new relationship. If you're in a declining relationship, again, you might be looking. If someone comes along who you fit a lot better with, and you end up with them instead of your existing partner, where's the harm?
Many people stay in relationships merely because they're convenient, or because they're afraid of being alone. Does this make dumping someone at the first sight of something better OK? No, but staying in an unhealthy relationship is worse in the long run.
Furthermore, as JinnKai said, if someone can be "convinced" to leave a relationship to pursue one with you, chances are it isn't a very strong relationship anyway. Would I want to date someone who was "convinced" to break up with her boyfriend to date me? No, but I don't give a shit if someone else wants to fuck that slut.
Really, what it comes down to for me is that I see a lot more unhealthy relationships than I do healthy ones. I don't care how those unhealthy relationships end. End of story.
