I can guess...
I think he's from some sort of a reach complicated family and if he got too involved w her he might have had to hurt her later ( for all kinds of various reasons like he has to have an arranged marriage or whatever and so on) so the genius that he is he came up w a plan to make her leave on her own and start hating him hence he faked cheat.
It's just a guess tho.
