"The main issue is this: When they met, they were in work mode. They were doing a collaboration and that's where the attraction stemmed from. She was in the studio and he was producing her. She was also coming off some bad relationships where she didn't really feel appreciated as an artist. She felt she and Chad connected on that level," said an insider.
"And now that the album didn't do as well as they had hoped, they're finding that they're not seeing eye to eye on a lot of things," the insider added.
The duo's issues extend beyond their profession, however, and it seems as though trust and timing are two things that Avril and Chad have problems with. There's jealousy on both sides. She flirts, he flirts. She's very insecure to begin with. I think for now they're going to try to work it out," said the insider.
