Yes the manipulation is very precise

Don't feel guilty about anything. You are right. My mother once told me after I had gotten myself in trouble that "I had made my bed and now I have to lay in it" and she was right.

You are gonna have to let this go. Maybe she will come to her senses and move on from this. But keeping the marriage a secret speaks volumes. She deep down knows this is not the best thing for her but you are going to have to let her find that out herself. She is not dumb and she can move on.

Leave her to herself and do not enable her. While she is with this guy...put up firm boundaries for yourself. Only help once you KNOW FOR SURE she is done with this dude. No use in allowing this mess into your life.

Keep her in prayer and keep yourself away from it for your sanity sake.
