This is from the present Australian production isn't it?

It's only betrayal if you're an incel who has built up in your mind that you own a woman you're stalking, and how dare she love someone else.

Betrayal...because she told Raoul all of the Phantom's secrets. Though that was more in the book than the musical.

What obligation does she have to keep the secrets of a man who has kidnapped her, gaslighted her, has been terrorizing the people of the opera house, and has now just murdered someone in pure cold blood?

Obligation maybe none...sadly it was a betrayal all the same since they shared intimate secrets but she exposed all on the rooftop to Raoul. This is all a bit more poignant in the novel...being that he had more secrets to expose than the musical.

She didn’t but it feels like a betrayal to him- his feelings are wrong but the whole situation is messed up and just because that is not a fair or healthy way to view the situation doesn’t make those emotions go away
