Need a breakup idea

[smithE101]

I'm writing a series that involves a romantic journey of a young couple.

So far it's been a year that they've been together (in the story) and it's been all roses so far. So i wanted to have them have a fight or breakup with the view of having them reunite with makeup sex and all that good stuff.

Need a good reason to have them breakup or fight.

The best thing i've been able to come up with is for the guy to be waiting for the girl to get ready so he uses her laptop to check his mail. She has left her inbox open and he notices that she and her exboyfriend (who was mentioned earlier in the series and who the girl had a rough breakup with) have been exchanging emails. They emails are innocent enough, i.e. no infidelity.
The guy confronts the girl, angry that she would still be talking to this ex who supposedly broke her heart and was a jerk during the ending of their relationship. She inturn is angry that the guy would invade her privacy and read her emails...fight ensues.

Is this a good enough reason for a fight? I think the guy comes out with more blame here, presumably the girl should be able to email anyone she wants as long as its platonic. And it is a betrayal of trust by him reading her emails.

Any suggestions? or new ideas for a breakup?

It's sadly, depressingly, a good enough reason for people to break-up.

My trouble would be the transition from "bed of roses" to "we're done" in such a short frame (Im assuming as you havent built up the jealousy idea yet as youre not sure youre going with it)

Id consider how lovey dovie romanticy this thing is going to be. If its truly a love of a lifetime story, my realty meter would prefer outside forces break them up (conflict) then they overcome that rather than internal relationship strife. If thats a little too grand/romance novel for you, totally understandable. But you have to delve deep into the psychology of them both during the fight and the resolving to get the best payoff.

The idea of it is great but sometimes its not worth all the detailed work for the payoff. You could do something else less taxing yet get 85% of the return.

Examples: Jobs in different parts of the county, family issues (they hate her/him), something in somebodys past cant be swept under carpet anymore, etc.

Your jealousy idea works, totally believable. My only worry is, as you've stated it, bed of roses for a year then WHAM, a little email here and its time for splitsville. Seems out of character for the relationship (and YES I see relationships as characters

that brings up my other issue i guess...i was thinking about whether to have the break up span like a month, or have them get back together right away (couple of days or the same night even)

I think what might work best is getting back together right away, since as you say it is a "little email" which might not be justifiable for a huge break up. So it won't really be splittsville but rather a tiff or at the very least their first serious fight.

You're right in that i haven't built up a jealousy idea yet, and i'm still contemplating this story line.

Also, funny you should bring up "bed of roses" although i did mention roses first, but i just got done writing a one yr anniversary scene that involved an actual bed of roses.

thanks for the insight

You're welcome.

As far as the breakup period, what's a couple of days in the grand scheme? I mean, there's no tension.

The real tough part in suggesting paths is we don't know how you wrote it. It can be an epic end of the world if they don't get together in the end or a bit of "well, that's life" Depends on what you want out of it.

As far as the make up sex, Im assuming you want crazy so you have to lay it on the line. A small tiff and me and the miss aint gonna go bonkers on each other. Real stakes with them realizing they dodged a true relationship bullet.

Thats what gives people motivation to make each other sore for days. ;-)

How about:

- bf stumbles across pictures (of the two of them having sex or possibly her having sex with her ex) that the gf has posted online. This spurs an arguement that leads to a breakup. Then after a few weeks without her he looks at the pictures again, gets horny, and calls her to get back together

- bf is telling all his buddies all the details about the sex they are having. She feels that he is making her out to be a slut, etc..........arguement........then after splitting up she realizes that it excites her for everyone to know shes likes swallowing cum and taking it up the ass, etc...........calls him

A new revelation is always fun, like girl finds out BF took her best friend's virginity three years earlier and doesn't know how to handle it.

A spin on that could be that the BF was sleeping with her best friend then and is the baby daddy. Or he met her sister first and had slept with her.

Here are some I have:

I think you can still use the email exchange idea but first show how Kimmy reestablished contact with her ex. It slowly becomes more by the ex slowly turning on the heat and Kimmy was reminded of the sexual attraction she had for him. Kimmy either gets kissed or makes out with him but was about to break it off despite the temptation to continue because she loves Matty but that didn't matter because Matty walks in on them before she could do so.

If Kimmy does sleep with her ex, perhaps it was a slip-up. One of those "It just happened." But Matty doesn't know about it. She could either invite the ex to her place or goes over to his and explain that they couldn't do that again but they end up doing it again. *The deal-breaker could be that she gets pregnant with her exes' baby.

Or her ex sends an old sex tape of them to Matty and made it look recent. Matty confronts her about it and called her a liar and a whore. When it was discovered that it has been tampered with, Matty tries to apologize but Kimmy didn't relent because he didn't trust her.


Or on Matty's end, there's a girl whose been eying him for a while in class and he talks with her but that's it. Kimmy sees immediately what she wants and what kind of person she is but because she has been a "good friend" to Matty, he defends her and tells Kimmy that she's over reacting and is acting insecure and jealous. Kimmy is hurt that he doesn't believe her and doesn't like that he's telling another girl, aside from Summer, their business although he hit the mark about her being a little jealous because she was endowed in the chest department and was the girl guys look at first. The girl uses the information she got Matty about the relationship to move closer.
Matty begins to suspect that Kimmy was right about her when the friend moves on him but he didn't tell her because he responded physically - either a kiss, a make-out, something subtle like her touching his hand which smoothly transferred to her stroking his aroused member through his pants but after he stops them, she apologizes for getting carried away and seemed contrite over it so he decides not to tell her. But then they were alone again some time after that incident, the girl moves on him again and they fuck each other that night. Whether Kimmy walks in on them or not is up to you, but the girl isn't remorseful or guilty about Matty cheating on Kimmy with her and made it known or she played the remorseful role to a tee. If Kimmy doesn't walk in, the girl "accidentally" let slip of everything that happened between them while talking to Matty, making sure that Kimmy heard everything. If she does and after Matty comes back from chasing after her, the girl is still there. It's clear that she was more than pleased by the discovery and wanted to continue and said as much. Matty knew then and there that Kimmy was right about her the whole time.

*If you want to use Kimmy's ex, perhaps it remains platonic although we can tell the ex wants more than that. With Adam and Summer unavailable at that moment, Kimmy turns to him.
