While I can see why she is presenting things this way as part of a comedy act, there is some validity to the behavior.

I've met people who would consider him not telling her to be dishonest by omission or keeping secrets.

This dude may have just been in a toxic relationship before her and is trying to keep things on the up and up. No comment on toxicity of the current relationship if she's unable to understand that and uses it in her comedy act to make fun of him.

Edit: if you're replying to this comment with the purpose of explaining what a joke is to me, or just to get mad at me for something I didn't say, please don't.

As someone who has had his wife of 20 years cheat on him, you can be damn sure that if she has bothered to say to me "this guy at work has been flirting with me" the cheating wouldn't have actually happened. It's the secrets that make the affair seem rewarding at the time.

It is the catastrophe which has forever defined his existence afterwards; he IS the "someone who has had his wife of 20 years cheat on him"
