Remember folks...the point of NTR is the betrayal of an established relationship, more specifically the bond between two or more people, something generally considered good.
If this mother is destroying an otherwise beautiful relationship without true justification, that's NTR.
Simple example: if the MC is an abusive deadbeat asshole, I don't think anyone would consider it NTR when his wife is stolen by someone who's less of a dick. The reason the male is usually a beta in these is because he's a normal guy--neither saint nor chad, but someone decent enough and relatable enough that we understand he doesn't deserve what's coming. That's the point, and also the reason why the 'thief' always fit at least a few tropes: he doesn't deserve what he's getting.
That's why when written badly NTR is super shitty, because it's a game kicking a decent person in the teeth and telling you to feel bad. It's not even like netori where you're at least getting SOME sense of accomplishment.
