It wasn't all romantic jealousy...they're both married, and she's smart enough to know that she didn't really have a right to be jealous, but she couldn't help it. She thought they, as two American strangers in Japan, had bonded in a unique way.
What Bob did wasn't just pathetic, it was PREDICTABLE: a middle-aged celebrity with a troubled marriage has an affair with a woman he meets in a bar. Ho hum.
