Allegations of infidelity against the Cleveland Cavaliers power forward, 27, surfaced two days before theKeeping Up with the Kardashiansreality star, 34, gave birth on April 12. Now, three months later, the couple has been in her hometown of Calabasas, California,seemingly moving onfrom the scandal.
However, a source tells PEOPLE that the mother of one thinks her boyfriend of nearly two years does not comprehend the “consequences of his decisions” that rocked their relationship.
“As a guy, he’s naturally not as understanding as he can be in this particular situation. It’s so much easier for him to, not completely, but brush things under the rug. She can’t do that,” the source says.

While Kardashian recentlyclapped backat reports that she and Thompson have been incouple’s therapy, herfamily has been outspokenabout the cheating scandal.
“It’s been a tough learning lesson for him. The whole family had to deal with the public’s perception of him and his relationship with Khloé changing dramatically,” the source says. “He also doesn’t fully ‘get’ that she’s been through this before [with ex-husband Lamar Odom], except that this time there’s a child involved.”
The source adds, “When he got with Khloé, he tried to adapt to the best of his ability, but he struggled with being part of such a high-profile family and crossed lines he shouldn’t have. He wasn’t expecting such major backlash from the public and it’s been a lot for him to handle.”
