Acknowledging a woman's wellbeing shouldn't be compromised to make a man a better person. That being said, We all know Kobe was an arrogant, cocky sumabitch who wouldn't even listen to his own parents and I can see how that translated into sexual situations.

I feel like that was the first time he was forced to look at himself that critically and put himself into someone elses shoes and he became a better person %1000. So much so, I can't say I hated him the way I did from back in the day.

I don't think heroes need to be perfect, but they definitely need to grow and try to be a better person.
