Is Aya cheating Bayek?

[Skeletor]

Is that the reason why she finds excuses everytime?

[Faint]

nah, they lay each other every time they see each other lol, it's because of their kid that they feel strained though

[Peerington]

I dunno man but judging by the Tomb where they are both buried together I believe their relationship stayed strong till the end of their days.

Idk, that could be a form of over-compensating for the guilt of cheating. She does seem to be oddly and disproportionately swayed by the call of her other compatriots over and instead of Bayek.

She is the one growing more distant from Bayek and their responsibility to one another while the tasks Bayek takes on, although somewhat fueled by rage, seem to be done in a manner where he completes them in order to get back to her (regardless of how heavily they weigh on him or how far from his own consistitution they require him to go). And Aya always seems to be justifying, rationalizing, or outright encouraging that Bayek engages in these activities despite their negative effects, including the fact that it literally seperates them for inditerminate periods of time.

Just because they were buried together doesn't mean she wasn't cheating on him. They very well could have reconciled and if cheating did occur it may have been forgiven or a secret never shared.

Appollodoros and a few other allies of Aya (I believe) made comments implying Aya's infidelity or at least hinted at a very strong desire by the person of their romantic interest in Aya. This is troubling considering Aya's enthusiasm, blind faith and willingness to pursue "the cause" and also the very patriarchal social atmosphere of Egypt during the time Origins takes place. Also, one or more assassination targets refer to Aya as a "♥♥♥♥♥". From a more contemporary perspective, this may seem like a random insult that could be interchangable with any number of words, but during that time period the word carried much more literal connotations.

Just food for thought

Your analysis is spot on and would discourage me from ever dating a woman like Aya, but it is also my loss to never had made a connection at all with a woman everyone desired and she spent some time with Bayek and even gave him a son (biological or not)?? Even if her philandering allows other men to ♥♥♥♥ on Bayek from time to time.... but if Bayek is happy, who are we to judge?

[em_t_hed]

maybe it was an 'open' relationship

I think Bayek accepts that Aya is cheating on him but the person who she is cheating with is not your average person, but happens to be Cleopatra, at the end there is a clip where she stays her blade and warns Cleopatra about ruling.Egypt as a queen should, of course this is all speculation but that's what AC games do make you talk about the hidden aspects within the game.

Later in the game Aya says Bayek reminds her a lot of their son. So it is understandable that they be separated for a short time to miss each other but can not stay together for long because it hurts too much. Yeah they can be there to support each other but most times it just does not work out that well. Maybe they both just need time to work trough their pain and they will probably be together again, maybe even have another child.

That being said getting revenge on someone that did something terrible to you feels great but it does not change what has already be done and how you feel. That is up to you to work trough that pain.

So no, Aya is not cheating on Bayek. Just keeping her distance and that is her way of working trough her pain.
