I understand Yash's dissatisfaction with his life and marriage. When he met Zoya he fell in love with her innocence and sweetness. But they ran way and got married. While they are adults and should not require the permission of their parents to get married that's not how society works. Also, since getting married it's not like Zoya cut off contact with her family or he is. Dealing with an in-law who does not like you and who is constantly judging you for your failures can be stressful.
Zoya's innocence and naivety would have have become grating and frustrating after a point. She was an adult, who was so used to being the spoilt and pampered princess, that she could not and did not take up any responsibility in the marriage. Just like Aditya, she was happy for Yash to be making all the big decisions. It's almost like she believed life was a fairytale filled with romance and lazing about all day. What did she even do to pass the time without Yash? I can totally see how her attitude towards life and him may have bred resentment.
Again, none of this justifies cheating. He should have come clean and divorced her and definitely not taken money from his father-in-law to buy a house for his mother. But, his position is not unsympathetic.
