I am very sorry to hear that.

I’m sure he was devastated. One, his love interest was a mirage. Two, he had to have felt some guilt over being “the other guy” behind a husband’s back. And even though not by choice, you’d still feel that way.

Back during the Vietnam war, I was introduced to a woman. She wanted to play around and I considered it until I found out she had a husband and he was in Vietnam. I hightailed it out of there and never went back.

You brother’s friend did the right thing in private. Hopefully someone did the same thing for the husband.

I agree that your brother was a victim here. No doubt about it. Tough situation for him.

The exact same thing happened to me in 1973.
