Yeah, cheating's always been an across the board thing in my experience as well.

Sadly, it's also my experience that I've seen a lot of canon female love interests turned into shrill, controlling bitches as a means of writing them off (and like cheating, that's something I've seen in both slash AND het fics) :/. I very much appreciate it when stories do the kind of trope you mention as a means of breaking up a canon pairing. It spares the story a lot of potentially unnecessary drama and character bashing, which makes reading it more enjoyable for me.

nayrt

I mean...in this case it sounds like OP isn't bashing the female character at all. It sounds like wanting Hughes to actually be a good father and husband is way better than the "he secretly doesn't love his wife, and wishes he never had a family" type crap I've seen before. His wife and daughter are a huge part of his life and it's a little hard to naturally segue things because of that, even if Hughes and Roy do have an incredibly close bond that lends itself well to slashing.

Oh, yeah, no, I didn't mean to imply my thoughts about hating the canon love interest were related to the secret, sorry. I was just speaking in a general sense :p. Should've clarified.

I'm not familiar with this particular series at all, but I can very much sympathize with the secret-maker's struggle all the same, 'cause I've got a similar issue going on with a couple non-canon pairings I like, too. It is indeed rather tough.
