Re: Writing Infidelity in Fic

[(Anonymous)]

A good middle ground could be emotional infidelity, where the OTP are in love and tempted despite being married, but don't actually physically cheat. There's a world of difference between the two: one is an uncontrollable private emotional reaction, the other is a conscious choice.

After that, have their spouses find out (non-simultaneously, to make it realistic), try to deal with it, and then eventually dump the OTP because the spouses don't want to be married to people who are in love with someone else (what you said about them having rocky relationships already could realistically speed things up). And you CAN start the fic with a good portion of this having already happened in backstory rather than hashing the entire arc out scene after scene in the action of the plot -- as long as the breakups don't just suddenly become a non-issue and don't get neatly tied up and forgotten.
