Okay, from what I understood of this scene, she slept with someone

The actress couldn't be on set for the next year so they wrote her out.

lel, okay. That's interesting to know, and this is a good a way as any to write someone out, but I thought it was still a little ill-considered. Actually, I don't remember much beyond this scene aside from how the twerp was moping so much, and few other scenes that certainly didn't need a year to film.

I don't think you were meant to sympathise with her. I think it was inserted into the film as a natural progression of growing up. Perhaps the way they broke up could have been different but it served to enhance the final sequence of the film. I don't agree with her actions but I agreed with her point of view about him. She shouldn't have gone about it the way she did but she's a flawed person in a film that tried hard to show everyones flaws in a realistic way.

Okay, but is that how women usually act when they're got cheating, to blame someone else for judging them? If not, the scene is unrealistic; if so, they are not to be trusted.

one woman != all women
one woman ~= some women

some people do whatever mental gymnastics they need to in order to justify their actions so they don't see themselves as the evil-doer.

So, you didn't get the impression that perhaps a little more information wouldn't have made her position more understandable, because I got fairly quickly that she cheated on him, and I thought there would be more to it, but it wasn't there.

It's how a lot of people act when they fuck up anything.

Okay, but it didn't seem satisfying on a narrative level, which is how I would describe everything in this movie.
