widower and the wife

[Reshbod]

Have an idea about a young wife meeting an elderly widower and sparks fly. Neither are looking for a relationship. The widower feels he would be cheating and the wife is in a good relationship and doesn't want to become an adultress.

Thinking the only way to do this story is to have both characters perspectives rather than focus on one.

Do people usually prefer to have one main person as opposed to splitting the story between two?

I am not much of a writer but, I wrote a story a few years ago about a husband whose wife had cheated on him. The story is about a letter he receives form soon to be ex wife begging him to take her back. I wrote most of the story but I had another author write the letter portion. I received several comments but only one twigged to the fact it was written by two different authors. I had included the other authors contribution as an introduction.

I have read or tried to when there were 2 different view points within the story. I do not know if there were two different authors or not.

The thing that bothered me was in most of them the author did not make a clear and various obvious distinction about which point of view was being presented. I think I just gave up on most of them.
