I actually think their marriage is about over. She was never married before, just had a kid with a different guy. There has been a lot of shit between them and my brother has been committed to working it out, but he even admitted to me the other day that at some point things just come to an end and there is only so much you can take.
I have a feeling that this thing with the boy will end up being the end of the marriage. My brother will get fucked over bad. He makes pretty good money and has a sweet retirement package from his job. In the 15 years they have been married she has worked a total of 4 of them. They have fought a lot of about her not working. So she will end up with half his retirement and potentially spousal support, but in the end it might be the best for my brother.
If somehow she actually grows a backbone and stands up to the son and they can get this situation under control they might actually be able to work things out because - as my brother puts it - 90% of the stress in the relationship is him.
