All of that makes complete emotional sense, but what I keep getting hung up on is the fact that he had to have sex with Irina for the mission to run smoothly (because she wanted to be able to cry rape and discredit the Polish dissident). Which makes labeling it "cheating" much more ambiguous, you know? I really like your analysis of what was going through his mind, and I do totally agree with it, but I also think that extra layer of it having been sortakinda for work is also there. He didn't exactly get caught up in her beauty and get carried away with himself--he beat her up and then they had sex, for work.
