[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's your brother. Be there for him. Showing love and kindness to your brother is never the wrong thing to do.[/quote]

[b]Agreed. You should show love and kindness to your brother. Supporting his affair does neither.

“After you’re divorced, I would love to meet any woman you’re dating. As long as you’re married, I refuse to be involved in your affairs.”

If he throws a tantrum like a toddler, you act like the grown up[/b].[/quote]

+1  At this point I would be much more concerned about supporting his kids than anyone else.  They're the ones who are having to face all the upheaval and they are the ones who need people to be there for them unconditionally.  I would convey this to my brother in no uncertain terms.  And then I would plan something special for those kids.[/quote]

+2 If they are still together by the time the divorce is done, which is statistically unlikely, then you can meet the other woman. She's probably not someone you are going to want in your life, or the lives of your kids, though. Nor is their uncle, to be honest.

While the main fault for the affair obviously rests with the person who was married, I have on qualms about saying the OW is probably pretty bad person as well. All the times your brother lied to his wife and kids about where he was, she knew. She probably even encouraged it. They are trash humans that deserve each other, but you're not missing much by keeping her out of your life, and the lives of the rest of the folks in your family. [/quote]
