What you have to remember is that this is a TV show. It's all fake! And the reason that Jim didn't cheat on Pam was because the writers put Jim and Pam into the series to be the best, most loved, almost perfect couple (besides a bit of disagreeing). The writers wouldn't have let Jim just cheat on Pam. That literally ruins the entire show. We're allowed to fantasize about what goes on off camera but the writers wouldn't have just put that in the show. The only way to truly believe it is to set aside the entire plot of the show. And the whole thing with Jim's job at the end of the series, he was thinking for himself for once. Even before they were together, Jim has always been thinking about his and Pam's future, and then eventually their kids, so I liked that Jim was thinking for himself for once, even though he wasn't thinking about how Pam feels and it was still bad.
