Im currently trying to right a novel for a writing class and i just need some help in the direction! Rough outline to the story -
Couple been together for a long time - childhood sweethearts in fact- never been with anyone else - been trying for a baby for 18 months - found out they can't have children recently - still in love but going through a really tough time - not getting along lately - not sure where to go from here.
Girl in couple starts to develop feelings for younger guy friend - not sure if its because of the strain on current relationship or if she is really falling for him - nothing happens but feels get stronger - he is going to America travelling he wants her to go with him.
Which end to the story would you rather read? - Does she realise she cant live without her boyfriend and they get engaged or do and her boyfriend split up and goes to America?
All will be more intense and dramatised etc! I just don't know which way to go! What ending to the book would you guys rather read?
