Desdemona slept with Othello in the play. And despite what Othello thought, he was the only guy she slept with.

I think he dismissed him because he doesnt show any respect for Othello and for anyone else.
Can anyone provide proof of fidelity in Othello act three scene three?
In the Act III Scene III of Othello, Iago insinuates to Othello that Cassio is in possession of a special handkerchief owned by Desdemona.

What are the feelings of the main characters in Othello?
The feelings of the characters change as the play develops. That's why it is a good play. Even Desdemona, who does not change much, reacts to the change in Othello with disbelief, shock and hurt. These are not feelings she has at the beginning of the play. Of course at all times she loves Othello very deeply, more deeply than anyone else can understand.

Othello, in Othello Act 3 Scene 3 says, "But this denoted a foregone conclusion: 'Tis a shrewd doubt, though it be but a dream." And no, he's not using a cliche; this is the first time that phrase was ever uttered by anyone.

What did Iago do well in the play Othello?
He is very good at conning people into doing what he wants them to do and thinking what he wants them to think. This is not just Othello, but also Roderigo, and Cassio, and Emilia, and anyone else he comes in contact with. He manipulates them, and they love him for it.

What are unknown facts about the play Othello?
I don't know them, and neither does anyone else. If anyone did know them they wouldn't be unknown, now, would they? We're talking about such things as the exact date on which Shakespeare wrote the last word of the play, or the name of the first actor to play the part of Brabantio, or the colour of the costume the first Othello wore. Who knows? Well, nobody.

Who is the hero in Othello?
The term "hero" is much abused in criticism of Shakespeare's works, and has generated, especially when qualified as a "tragic hero" some pretty strange criteria. But basically, it is like this: there are two main characters in this play, Othello and Iago. At the end of the day, does anyone feel even slightly sorry for Iago? He is a villain and no hero. That leaves only Othello. If tragedy is a sadness for the loss of what might have been, it is Othello's and Desdemona's tragedy--we feel sorry for them because they have lost their love, their marriage, their hopes and their lives. What has Iago lost that is comparable? Nothing. The only people who doubt that Othello can be the hero of this play, if anyone is, are racists and feminists, the former because they refuse to accept a hero who is black and the latter because they refuse to accept a hero who treats his wife like that. For them, I guess the play has no hero.
Why does iago say he hates Othello so much and what does he mean when he says in following him i follow but myself.?
Nobody really understands why Iago hates Othello; at one time he says that he suspects Othello of having seduced his wife Emilia. Possibly he hates Othello because Othello is a parvenu, a jumped-up galley slave no less, whereas Iago is of the established Venetian nobility. He seems to hate Cassio for a similar reason. Or again, he may be like Cassius in Julius Caesar--simply jealous. Whatever his reason, it is clear that Iago actually doesn't care about anyone in the world except Iago. He is totally selfish as the quotation "in following him I follow but myself" shows. Iago serves as Othello's ensign ("following him") only because it enables him to pursue his own agenda ("follow myself").
How do you xxplain the story of Othello?
Oversimplifying greatly ... Othello is a dark-skinned African Muslim (a "Moor") who is a high-ranking and hot-tempered general in the army of Venice, Italy. Cassio is Othello's trusted lieutenant. Desdemona is Othello's girlfriend, whom he marries early in the story. Iago (ee-ah-go) is a deviously sly soldier in Othello's army; he is jealous and bitter and wants to destroy Othello, because Othello has chosen Cassio to be his lieutenant instead of choosing Iago. Roderigo is another soldier who Iago easily manipulates to do his bidding. Everyone else in the story takes part in action that revolves around these 5 main characters. Iago tries to get Desdemona's father and the Duke of Venice to believe that Othello engaged in sorcery and kidnapping to get Desdemona to marry him, but that doesn't work. Fortunately for Iago, Othello doesn't realize that Iago is out to get him. Iago gets Cassio drunk, gets Roderigo to pick a fight with Cassio, and then convinces Othello that Cassio started the fight. Othello strips Cassio of his rank. Iago convinces Cassio that Othello's wife Desdemona can help convince Othello to give Cassio his rank back. Iago helps Cassio arrange a secret meeting with Desdemona. Then Iago convinces Othello that Cassio and Desdemona are having a love affair behind his back. Iago convinces Roderigo to kill Cassio, but Cassio is only wounded. Iago kills Roderigo so he can't tell anyone that Iago put him up to the murder attempt. In a fit of jealous rage, Othello smothers Desdemona who he believes has been having sex with Cassio. Cassio, Iago and others arrive at the scene of Desdemona's murder. Othello repents of his fit of temper that has caused him to kill his beloved wife. Desdemona's maid reveals that Iago made her set up false evidence that led Othello to his tragic incorrect conclusion. Iago kills the maid. Othello stabs Iago but only wounds him. Othello begs Cassio to forgive him for his unfounded jealousy, which he does. OMG, the dead Roderigo has left a letter fully incriminating the villainous Iago, who is led away to what we assume is torture and a gruesome death. Othello, crushed by having allowed Iago to lead him to ruin, gives a final speech and commits suicide with his dagger. Everyone comes back to life and bows to the audience, who are weeping and applauding.
