I think Kara was totally in love with Zak when they got together. And in my personal canon Lee pretty much fell in love with Kara from the first moment he met her. To me, Zak & Kara's relationship was one which really tethered Kara, it seems almost innocent to me, incredibly sweet.
But, Kara being Kara, I think that over time a number of problems in that relationship would have begun to assert themselves. And I think, simultaneously, her relationship with Lee would have developed further. Hands down, to my mind, the Lee/Kara dynamic has such depth and complexity... but also has all the inherent heartache and ego that we saw on the show itself.
Do I think Kara would have gone on to cheat on Zak? Definitely a possibility... I think Lee would have railed against it, tried everything to stop himself... but I think there would have been a point where he ended up breaking. But I think he'd have been honest to Zak about it.
Y'know... Lee and Kara have that whole Scarlett and Rhett thing going on... and by that comparison, Zak is a little bit like Ashley. (Though, only a bit.)
