Cheating in chess

I was planning against this random guy IRL. We were sitting at the table, I'm up a knight, a bishop, two rooks and a queen. When he starts "texting his sister," the game keeps going. We are pretty even after that with him gaining ground. Then I see the whatsapp profile picture of the person he's texting on his screen briefly. It's my wife. I am outraged, but decide to restore my honor by beating him in chess. However, that plan backfires and I'm increasing falling back to where hes got advantage and I lose. I call him out on fucking my wife and tell him to put his phone on the table. To humor me and open it up so I can see that he was texting my wife. Instantly, he is like no I'm not. And my girlfriend and his fiance, who were watching, were telling me I'm being ridiculous and that monogamy is an obsolete concept anyway. I agreed that the social unit of the core family has outlived its original purpose but it's a matter of respect and character for your opponent. He refuses to show his phone. I tell them if there is nothing to hide, just show it and make me look like an idiot. He refused again. The girls said I was being crazy and I need to get a divorce.
I guess I'm more ranting than anything. How do you feel when you get cheated on? Was I being ridiculous for calling him out? I just hope this wont affect my rating in the long long term.
