Reconciling After Divorce

I admit, I usually make my Sims' lives pretty boring. They're always kind of perfect. So I decided to spice things up and add a little drama. For no reason at all, I had the husband cheat on the wife with their neighbor. He got her pregnant, and wife walked in on them woohooing. They got a divorce and husband now lives w/ neighbor.

I thought it would be interesting to see if they could reconcile because I saw there were new interactions between the two, like "remember common interests" and "find a common ground" and stuff. But my Sims were having NONE OF IT. Mannnnn do they hate each other. There's no going back.

Has anyone else experienced this? I wonder if everything is just too fresh right now and that's why every interaction turns out to be a negative one. Over time will all the angry redness disappear from their relationship bars and they could start from scratch?

I always create drama then end up regretting it afterwards. My sim couple were perfect for each other until I meddled and made the guy have an affair with a neighbor and get her pregnant. rip

Yeah, I've had very little to no luck reconciling unless I waited a long amount of time and kept them apart without talking. Even then, they tend not to enjoy each others' presence, so I just have them move on. It helps if you don't use romantic interactions at all until their relationship has mended by friendly talk.
