please read the following for further clarity
After Falling in love, two married people discuss their unhappy marriages
They come to a conclusion that both their spouses belong with each other (and have a college history to support that)
They conspire to bring their other halves together
& then to be with each other (it’s like their sin: an intention to walk out clean after infidelity)
They soon realize that their spouses are tragically, hopelessly loyal for them
I don’t understand how you can encounter hopeless loyalty, How is that shown on screen?

“When he discovers his wife and best friend had an affair in college, a distraught?husband plots to reciprocate by having?an affair with his best friends wife to get even.”
“In order to get out of their unhappy marriages, two lovers attempt to make their spouses fall in love with each other”
How Richiev?s version plus giving their spouses some description.
?In order to get out of their unhappy marriages, two lovers attempt to make their unwaveringly loyal spouses fall in love with each other?
Here?s yer conflict and obstacle.
Re:

I think Richiev’s version is good enough.? “Unwavering” is what is? discovered as a consequence of trying to match them up with others.
How do you know that someone is “unwavering” about anything?? You know only because you challenge them, tempt them, test their commitment.? You can’t say someone is unwavering until their position or relationship is put to the test.? And that test doesn’t occur until Act 2.? But a logline is about the knowledge the protagonists act upon in the 1st Act, not what they come to realize by Act 3.
If they knew that their spouses were “unwavering” in Act 1, they would have never tried their scheme.? They try their scheme because they don’t know, because they have (flimsy or fanciful) grounds to believe they can pull it off.
fwiw
