This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

In "Educating Rita," the play from 1980 by Willy Russell, Denny feels betrayed because his wife, Rita, is still taking the pill without him knowing. However, Rita´s reason for hiding that from Denny was that, despite Denny´s constant demand of having a child, she just doesn´t feel ready as she first wants to be able to study. Denny´s feel of betray is not justified because he was the one who pushed his wife into secrecy by keeping the pressure over something she had every right not to accept.
