Woooo! This is really a tough one. I can't say what I would do
I know that I would not go outside of the marriage. I do not believe that there is any excuse for adultery.
But, I also wouldn't want a divorce. I take the vow of marriage VERY seriously. I don't know if I could honestly end my marriage when I made a vow to my husband and God that I would be with him through sickness and health til death do us part.
My heart goes out to this man because his situation is truly painful.
The woman he married is gone. Her body remains but the things about her that truly made him fall in love -- like her laugh, personal jokes they had, her personality, and everything about her -- are now gone. He may feel like the woman that he fell in love with, his wife, is dead because she will never return to be part of his life.
This is tough. I could only pray and ask the Lord to bring me through that kind of situation. He will never put more on me than I can bear. So, I would just put it all on him and know that things will work out eventually.
