Portuguese term or phrase: dou uma sacaneada com você
Eu não tive o apoio da empresa X na hora certa.
A confiança é negócio recíproco, né?
Se eu vivo com você e você é minha mulher e eu sou seu homem e de repente eu dou uma sacaneada com você, isso vai afetar a confiança.

Pensei em colocar apenas "let you down", mas aceito sugestões melhores. Obrigada.

and all of a sudden I go out behind your back . . .


Explanation:
Suggestion . .

and all of a sudden I go out behind your back . . .

Of course, you know this is referring to someone "cheating" on someone else . . . and obviously they don't want to say it! Therefore, I think it needs to lean toward the idea of "cheating" or not being "faithful" to your partner . . .
