Ok, so for March, I'm writing a practice script, mostly to see if I have the stamina for this, creatively speaking. In my practice run, my Femlead is lunching with her BF at a cafe when he tells her it's over, he's been seeing another, and that her old tricks just aren;t doing it for him anymore.

But this isn't the case. He's not been seeing anyone, he really loves her, and he's terrified of ehat the relationship has done to him and what he's now done to her by saying all that rubbish.

My question is, what would motivate him to do this? He's not really fleshed out, or I would be able to aswer it myself...

I think you might be struggling there.

Men are stupid, but we're not necessarily that stupid.

However, if you want to press on...

repeated blows to the head, over-indulgence in alcholic beverages, especially when combined with that old cliche "a dare", recreational drug use, the fear of discovery of an embarrassing secret if things go much further, a previously-undiagnosed mental illness, the mention of marriage/commitment/a desire to bear children, a lack of red meat in the diet, an absence of beer in the fridge, women who spend more than five minutes getting ready to go out or stand in front of the tv during sports broadcasts...

have all been known to cause men to do things that they later have to buy a lot of flowers and chocolate to undo.

Hope that helps :)
