[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get her a therapist immediately.   Help her with the kids -- watch them when she goes to therapy or needs some time to think.  Be there for her and just listen.  Help her find a good divorce attorney when she's ready.

I am so sorry- that's really, really hard.  What a terrible betrayal on so many levels.  I[b] hope she divorces him and moves on and finds happiness.[/quote][/b]
It's okay if she doesn't divorce him. Infidelity is wrong, yes, but it's so extremely common that people who jump straight to throwing away a family with young children are nuts. There is A LOT to unpack in this affair. Was it sex only? Is he remorseful? Why did he cheat? Did he end it? Is he proactive in trying to heal and help his wife heal? OP, your sister has a long road ahead of her, but do not push her into divorce. You do not know her relationship. She does need therapy. Often the biggest pain comes from her seeing that the last two years of her life were a lie, not necessarily that her DH slept with someone else. [/quote]

TWO YEARS DURING COVID?!?!?!  This is not your garden variety affair!!![/quote]
