    Sure, she doesn't HAVE to tell him

    and maybe she shouldn't, given how much trouble it is apparently causing, but it is more than understandable why she would want to, both so she can get some extra consideration (which is reasonable), and because if he doesn't know then she will have to explain, or even worse not explain, why she doesn't know what is going on, why she is so uncomfortable, why she can't do anything, etc. etc. Sure, maybe none of this will be an issue, but why expect or assume that complete lack of familiarity with what is going on won't be noticed. He may begin to suspect at some point what she hasn't told him and wonder why, when he asks about it in the middle of things would that be easier than bringing it up beforehand?
