I honestly have no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Family almost seems to be in approval of this **** too. I thought I finally found someone special after 32 years, but there must be something wrong with me, now that this has happened.

How could your family approve of it? That doesn't make sense.

Can I really be grateful for that? I think that if only our wedding was earlier, we would still be together.
Yes, as bad as this sucks (and it does SUCK), be glad your wedding was not earlier. All I am saying is that you can't change what is, so find the silver lining (even is the silver is a sliver), and look forward. It will take some time to get over, I'm not trying to trivialize, but steeping in the past or present is not good for you. Heal yourself, and find that someone that you deserve.
Look, I think it happens fairly often, unfortunately. It's a real shame that it took so long for you to find "the one".
From your post, it seems there's more to the story. Was she waiting for you to marry her, and you procrastinated? Did you not treat her well enough?
There are reasons a person should strike while the iron is hot. There are also reasons to say, once a cheater, always a cheater. And there is also a good reason why sibling rivalry makes such great literature.
Yes, it hurts, and sucks. However, if you love her and your brother, their happiness could make you happy. It's a matter of perspective rather than simple selfishness. Clearly, she thinks he is the better match for her for whatever reason - it may not be a fault you have, just that he matches in some way that works better.
My take - and my wife's - is that we are together by choice, not by marriage. If either of us would have been or someday finds that we are happier with someone else, then we should pursue that. Love means wanting what's best for each other even if that means it's hard on one of us.
