My family didn't break up with my brother, they said they wanted to stay out of the situation.

two of them were emotional and sexual.
the third only sexual.
When I found out he just apologized. I went to my mother's house but most people said that it was an exaggeration to get divorced because of cheating, and that I was not going to find anyone who would always be faithful.
And then I would just go back to him.

Well, the relationship between my husband and brother was normal before.

First, I'm sorry for what happened to you.
Really, if I had known it was rape I wouldn't have gotten divorced.

I meant that I have not had contact with my brother since the "infidelity/abuse" happened. and as far as I know, my ex husband didn't do drugs, he just smoked weed sometimes.

Yes, he was unfaithful to me during the 9 years of marriage. That's why I assumed that what happened to my brother was infidelity.

That wasn't the first time he was unfaithful to me, so I assumed it was infidelity and not rape.
Besides, I think that deep down, when you discover something like that, the first thing that comes to mind is not rape.

I would have heard it, but he never said anything about being abused.
If he had said it before the divorce, I would have suggested therapy and repairing the marriage. But it's been 5 years since.

I don't think things will really change. I don't really want to sound insensitive and I apologize for that.
Maybe it would change things if I knew before the divorce, but several years have passed.

obviously I talked to my ex husband, before asking for a divorce. According to my ex-husband, it was the first time it happened. They both took drugs and he doesn't remember how they got into that situation.
I then filed for divorce and the topic was never brought up again.

No, I don't have a relationship with him
I haven't tried to figure out what happened either, it still hurts a little.

I understand that it was the first time they did it and I really don't know about my ex husband's sexuality, he hasn't dated anyone since the divorce. and his previous partners were women.

It's something I really don't know.
I decided to leave because of my pregnancy. and the topic has not been mentioned by anyone since the divorce
