This may not be the right place for this, but maybe other people have been in this situation before...

BF and I have been talking and planning on getting engaged for the last year. We wanted to have a few things out of the way before spending money on a ring...now that we've moved across the country and are getting settled in our new jobs the only other things we have planned are purchasing a home and ering.

Our families have been very supportive of our plans for the future. His parents bug him all the time about when it's going to happen, even his brother (it's all very flattering haha); mine would bug more, but they live out of state so we don't see them as often.

Now for the issue..his brother just found out his wife of 5 months has been having an affair for the last 4 months. The whole family is devastated.

How do we plan an engagement when his brother is very likely going to be going through a divorce this year? We want to be sensitive, since this situation is so heartbreaking and unexpected. But we also don't want to put our plans on hold...

Ugh. Just looking for advice on how to navigate a really terrible situation...
