The thing is, we have mainly only seen flashbacks from Aditya's point of view and because it is his pov, these fbs are going to be heavily biased. He remembers the memories that are good and in which he is clearly in love. We don't know much about Pooja yet. In fact we don't even know the equation of their relationship before marriage or how the marriage happened. ALL we get is Adi's heavily biased POV. That being said, it is entirely possible that Pooja felt neglected and lonely in the marriage. If your husband is a pilot who's constantly working and doesn't have all that much time to be home most days, it gets hard and lonely. This part of the marriage hasn't been shown. We see when Adi is home, when him and Pooja are together. This is why the diary is so important, because Pooja has a life outside her marriage with Adi and we haven't been shown that yet. If she felt lonely or neglected and why she may have felt that way are yet to come. Because it's definitely obvious that by no means was this marriage perfect.
THAT being said, cheating is the utmost hard betrayal of trust and loyalty. It is wrong. Two people enter into a relationship with the intention of being each other's person, and the expectation that there is just the two of you and no one else. Relationships are hard work. You cannot simply love a person and think ah yes that's it now we can just be together, or be arranged into a marriage and not have an open line of communication. Loving someone is easy, trust me it's the easiest thing to do in the world. But actively committing to them and choosing to love someone everyday is very hard. When you choose to be with someone it's not a decision that happens once and fades away, you continue to choose them everyday. You choose them over the arguments, the fights and that days you don't talk. You cannot get what you want out of a relationship if you're not communicating. If you can't talk to your partner than who will you talk to? If you're unhappy or unsatisfied, there's no one in the entire world who will fix that for you but your partner. This is regardless of if you're a man or a woman. I have seen coldhearted and manipulative women and I've seen insensitive prick men. Men are socially conditioned to behave and react to the world a certain way, this is indefinitely true. Just as women are socially conditioned to be a certain way. We are all products of our society. Because we live in a patriarchal world, it is those values that we grow up with and those same ones we try to break free from when we realize just how ridiculous they are.
Pooja and Aditya's relationship failing, Adi not seeing Pooja's emotions, Pooja not communicating her own feelings, Pooja trying to seek her own validation elsewhere, these are all hallmarks in a marriage where someone has given up. And Pooja, if she cheated, did. It is much easier to cheat than it is to sit down and make a relationship work. When you cheat on someone, you basically tell them they're not worth investing in anymore and neither is your relationship with them. Aditya seemed to think marriage was perfect and full of love up until the end, and most people who have been cheated on believe the same. The cheating comes as a complete surprise and the cheating is always, always the fault of the cheater and not the cheated on.
