judith collier:
What about the wife? I would have given most anything to know 10 yrs. earlier rather than suffer torment because I knew something was wrong but didn't know WHAT. There's nothing worse than dirty little secrets in a mariage.

cjwood:
perhaps look at it from the vantage point of God causing circumstances to happen so that you would indeed find out about the affair. yes, He does all according to His plan and purpose. He purposed you to become knowledgeable about your brother. perhaps you should approach your brother. out of love for him and the sure heartache which you know lies ahead for him, his wife, and all the extended family if the affair continues to fester in the darkness, until it explodes. go to him not out of resentment, but in the humble and forgiving love of Christi. i agree that it needs to be exposed to the light. it will be hard and it will be emotional, and it will hurt. but the best things in this life come after much trial and heartache. we can all say a big ole Amen to that! i will pray for you, and your brother, and his wife. i have been in her situation. finding out is horrific, but healing cannot begin until it is out in the open.

ps. one day you will find out why God purposed you to become privy to the affair. and so will your brother and sisterinlaw.
