She didn't cheat, but by god she should have. He projects onto her his insecurities and as an unreliable narrator, the end of the book is absolutely biased and told in such a manner to convince the reader of the characters ideas. In the end, no, she didn't cheat, but he got so annoying and maniacal that I feel if she had, it would've been justified.
