My brother is a fuckhead and an idiot and he cheated on his wife. I have an okay relationship with him and his wife is a good friend of mine, and now because he fucked up and they're getting divorced he wants me to never see or talk to her again. He's told me that it's unfair to him, that because he's my brother he should get precedence and that if i won't stop being friends with her then I'm ruining the family. I find it appalling that he thinks I should excuse his cheating, and that he expects me to choose him over my friend just because he's related to me by blood. He's being absolutely ridiculous and an absolute arsehole, always going on that he couldn't help it and that all men cheat anyway, grow up you wanker.
Our parents aren't getting involved, they think he made a mistake but also think that they should work it out and move past it, and his wife has no intention of doing that and I support her. We are a close family, we live in the same town/county so we see each other a lot for dinners and get togethers and family nights and things, so it's all very awkward right now. He brings her up every single time we see each other so it's not like i can just ignore it and continue to be friends with her without him knowing and I'm not just going to listen to him slag her off so we get into screaming arguments now, our relationship is pretty ruined and our parents hate it and i do feel guilty about making them feel bad. They end up just watching us like a tennis match until one of us storms off and it ruins the mood and makes everything tense.
I don't know what to do, I refuse to abandon my friend especially when everyone else seems fit to do so, but i don't want to avoid my other family members as i am close to them. Because they've refused to pass judgement he's invited to everything too and he turns up to every one, apparently he has no life now that he's lost his wife and his girlfriend, and if i don't go then i won't see them. I've already had to cancel a bunch of times because she's not invited to anything anymore, and i don't have a huge amount of free time so i can't just drop in randomly to see them, and i don't want my relationship with my parents or other brother to suffer.
TL;DR my brother cheated on his wife and because i'm still friends with her our family is suffering. what do.
