In "Young Sheldon," people have been speculating about whether George really did cheat on Mary with neighbor Brenda, but now showrunner Steve Molaro has definitively confirmed that fact. The first time we knew George might be cheating was in an episode of The Big Bang Theory, when Sheldon explained the reason for knocking on the door three times. He revealed that it all came from the trauma of his father having sex with another woman.
George and his neighbor Brenda slowly grow closer over several episodes, and eventually Brenda asks George out. He agrees to go to her house for dinner, but before he can, he has a heart attack, which interrupts their relationship to develop further.
As for whether or not George actually cheated, in another episode of The Big Bang Theory, we found out that he didn't cheat on Mary and Brenda in Young Sheldon, the two of them were actually just role-playing.
The woman Shelton thought he saw having an affair with his father was actually his mother, though Shelton was never told about it. But the question of whether anything ever happened between Brenda and George remains open.
“We hinted at it a little bit with the Brenda Sparks character, so we talked about a way to close that loophole. Maybe this was a thing where Sheldon isn’t lying, but he’s not in possession of all the facts. He did not know it was Mary. He still thinks he walked in on his father cheating. I think that’s a moment where Sheldon thought he saw something. He thought he saw his dad with another woman, and he didn’t, and there’s a sadness to that, that he’s carried that all these years.
