Folks who accuse others of cheating come in three forms: Projection. Cheating or want to cheat themselves, accuse partner of it.
Paranoia: Insecurities, previous experiences, misogyny/misandry/misanthropy. These peeps will be controlling or abusive towards their partners. Neglectful, no love/romance, partner can't do anything right. Often done when a partner cannot easily leave the situation (marriage, living together, kids, etc).
Folks who just get it: Very empathetic people who pick up on cues and the emotional state of other people.
If it was the third, I imagine aunt would have approached it differently. Peeps with that level of empathy and intuition are going to avoid most of those problems before they become a problem, and they certainly address problems differently than that.
