Did my GF Cheat?

Before I begin, yes this happened to me.

I moved in with my girlfriend of 7 years (we began dating early in high school) recently. We have been through a lot so am convinced we really like each other.

Anyways, because we moved in, she has seen how hard I have been grinding to get into IB. This past February, I was able to secure an SA position at an EB. I was honestly super shocked because I bombed some technicals and I am not diversity (i.e. white/asian male).

One night, my girlfriend and I got into a stupid argument (I made a joke about her small cup size). It became a bit heated and that's when she said "You only got the job because I slept with the D/MD". 

Evidently she cheated, but she did it out of love? Thoughts on if it's over?
