I'm writing a story where a girl thinks her fiancé is cheating on her because he is sneaking out of the house, she smells woman perfume on him, and finds an earings that isn't hers. Finding panties in his car when driving to her wedding was the last straw. She plans to confront him but can't due to the festivities and hesitant to upset family and friends. Yet, since she is upset she ends up getting drunk and exposing the truth on stage.
The problem I have is making her sympathetic. I'm afraid I will portray her as a bridezilla because I was thinking in one situation she would complain about her makeup and hair because she felt insecure. I included a backstory where she has been cheated on by many men and it took a while for the guy to gain her trust. Any tips? I know it's important to let the readers understand the characters intensions. Although, It's also important to show and not tell how she is feeling.
Also any suggestions for good build up and events happening between the beginning to the climax would be welcome.
Thanks you!
