Character Development Qs

I'm writing a character who thinks her partner is cheating. I'm trying to come up with the list of reasons one would think their partner is cheating.

The usual suspects outside of straight up seeing them out with another person or messages or full-on evidence, kind of eludes me.

Some people I know say their partners acted completely differently (colder, crueler, etc.). Some say they were extra nice. I understand it might be different across the board, but I just want some real-world ideas behind this.

I apologize if this upsets anyone, but how did you/your friend/family, etc. KNOW? What tipped you/them off?

About to move on to Book 2, and I'm going to really struggle not picturing this now. Thanks, Tumblr.

You're so welcome - it was a great meme.

I agree, if we follow the canon ending and even Cursed Child, the relationship is solid. 10/10 for friendship and love.

But I can't help but also look at it now in a different lens. Perhaps in a more idealistic, they've survived the war, they're in love, etc., this all works. Yes, I totally agree they would have planned and spoken about it - Brightest Witch of Her Age isn't just having children without thought.

And when looking at the original canon, I can completely understand why no one would ship Hermione/Draco. Talk about toxic issues! Like, I'm 100% certain none of bullies most of us faced went to the same level that Draco Malfoy did, and I think we'd all rather be caught streaking in a city center in the middle of winter than in a romantic situation with our childhood bullies.

However, the allure of the pairing makes sense. He was a reluctant pawn in a war, doing the absolute most for his family's sake. As the original series states, he was also "just a boy." It would be reasonable to expect that there was a course of reformation for the child soldiers caught up in the middle of the war; on both sides. Which does open us up to the redemption arc that's so popular in the fanfiction timelines.

The reason I think people can see why Ron/Hermione don't work comes down to their core personalities. Would he try and idealise her? Would their be resentment down the line for her career aspirations and the time it takes to succeed? As I said, I do 100% think that they loved each other and that, at the time of writing/publication, their pairing made perfect sense. I'd have been distraught if she'd ended up with Harry or some other random side character. But if the book were published today, do I think Ron would have been the appropriate match? Probably not. Maybe for her first serious relationship as they navigate post-war WW and early adulthood, but not for their late 20s/early 30s. Also, can I just add - this is why I came back to Tumblr - healthy and respectful debate/chat about characters we all know/love. So thank you! <3

i just know hermione will put y'all in a jar for this
