The secretary cliche
You married a man who you knew cheated in his prior marriage and who cheated on you for 5 years prior to your own marriage. The fact that you are surprised is honestly the most shocking thing about this post. I’m not the person you initially replied to here but imo you should just move on and let karma deal with both of them, possibly with some assistance from your new divorce lawyer. File for divorce, get what you’re entitled to from the marriage and get on with your life. You will only drive yourself crazy trying to tell her anything or prove to him that you’re the better woman. He clearly will never feel guilt over it and she doesn’t seem to either, maybe it’s because she doesn’t want him or because she doesn’t give a shit about your feelings but it doesn’t matter. Let them be together, or just let him make a fool out of himself for someone who just wants money. It’s no longer your problem. Also, he adopted your son so don’t pass up child support. Put it in an account for your kid if you don’t need it.
If you’re not already, you should look into therapy. You need to find out why you accepted being cheated on and basically signed up for a lifetime of it through marriage. Thats not a healthy path. Im happy for you that you’ve realized you deserve better. Don’t allow that nonsense ever again.
