Hmm, I'm not entirely sure that she cheated, of course I'm almost as old as the shempster ;)
Given the fact that they did NOT discuss the situation beforehand, and given the fact that Zoe says her previous partners have had no issue with it, then I see no reason to disbelieve her when she says she didn't realize that it was going to be a problem.
As a matter of fact you can take out "I slept with a girl and he got mad" and substitute it with any other behaviour that one partner might find offensive that hasnt been talked about.
For instance, she could have sat and gambled for hours and lost some money and that could cause the same situation if they hadn't discussed it. She could have had more to drink than she should have, done drugs, stayed out too late, a plethora of possibilities here.
Now WHY they never talked about it may be an underlying issue. Obviously Zoe knew she was bi, did she not mention it to him at all, or did they simply not discuss what he would feel if she acted on those urges either with or without him there?
In either case it should be one of those misunderstandings that can be overcome, and hopefully he doesn't feel that Zoe deliberately mislead him or betrayed him, but that's probably that third side of every story.
