and now has to pay for this mistake every time her partner brings it up.

The mistake wasn't even that bad, and this is mostly my wording, especially considering the circumstances.

She was in a friends with benefits situation and they went to a party, she briefly kissed someone else.

He got jealous, and then he said, I have feelings for you.

I guess that's what he said, and then they started seeing each other exclusively, I assume.
