His brother-in-law justified his extramarital relationship by saying he was miserable and stuck in his marriage to the mother of his child.
Not surprisingly, when his brother-in-law’s wife learned about him cheating on her, their marriage was over.
This all happened several years ago, and his brother-in-law’s wedding to the woman he cheated on his wife with is upcoming.
His brother-in-law has invited him to be a groomsman, and his wife was invited to be a bridesmaid.
His wife said there is absolutely no way she is going to be part of the bridal party, and in fact, she isn’t even planning on going as a guest to the wedding.
Since her brother cheated on his wife, she thinks it’s wrong to show support for his marriage to his mistress.
His wife is boycotting her brother’s wedding, and she is very concerned that if she were to even go it would make her nephew believe that it was appropriate for his dad to cheat in the first place.
“My wife wants me to also boycott the wedding but I won’t; I’ve told my BIL (and good friend) that I will absolutely be in his wedding, whether my wife is there or not,” he continued.
He does acknowledge that the cheating wasn’t alright or anything to condone at all, but he does understand that his brother-in-law was pushed into marriage and he never should have agreed to get married in the first place.
He does want his brother-in-law to be with someone he loves, and he feels he has every right to be happily married, which he knows he will be with the woman he’s about to marry.
How would you deal with this?
