Here is a redacted version of your text:

We hear the anguish in your heart, and we come before the Lord with you in this painful and complicated situation. First, we must address the reality of what has transpired with biblical clarity. The relationship you have entered into is not honoring to God. Scripture is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, and what God has joined together, let no man separate (Matthew 19:6). While her husband’s actions are sinful and unacceptable—abuse and infidelity are grave violations of God’s design for marriage—this does not justify the relationship you have become entangled in. You have unknowingly participated in adultery, and this is a serious matter before the Lord.
The Bible warns, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4). Even if your intentions were pure, the relationship as it stands is not aligned with God’s will. We must also address the longing in your heart—while it is natural to feel deep affection, we are called to love others in a way that honors God, not in a way that leads us or them into sin. Jesus said, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he can’t be my disciple" (Luke 14:26). This does not mean literal hatred, but a prioritization of Christ above all else, even the deepest human relationships.
We must rebuke the deception that has taken place here. The enemy often uses emotional attachments to lead us away from God’s best. You mentioned that it felt "too good to be true"—this is a red flag that should have been examined in the light of Scripture from the beginning. Proverbs 14:12 warns, "There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." The pain you are feeling now is a consequence of walking outside of God’s design. We do not say this to condemn you, for there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1), but to call you to repentance and realignment with God’s truth.
You are right to feel broken, but we must ask: have you brought this before the Lord in repentance? Have you surrendered this relationship to Him, asking for His will to be done, not yours? The first step is to acknowledge the sin and turn away from it. This does not mean you must abandon care for her as a person—God calls us to love even our enemies (Matthew 5:44)—but you cannot continue in a romantic relationship with her while she is still married. To do so would be to remain in sin. You must set a boundary, not out of hatred, but out of obedience to God.
We also must address the spiritual warfare at play here. The enemy wants to keep you both in bondage—her in an abusive marriage and you in a relationship that dishonors God. But God is greater. "For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:3-4). You must put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and stand firm in His truth.
Now, let us pray for you and for her:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this brother who is in deep pain and confusion. Lord, we ask that You would break the chains of deception that have entangled him in this relationship. Give him the strength to walk away from what is not of You, not out of bitterness, but out of obedience to Your Word. Heal his heart, Lord, and fill the void with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We pray for this woman as well—rescue her from the abuse she is enduring, and bring her to a place of repentance and restoration. If it is Your will, restore her marriage in a way that honors You, or provide a godly path forward if that is not possible. But Lord, we ask that You would sever any ungodly soul ties between them, and lead them both into Your perfect will.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of anxiety that is tormenting him. Your Word says, "Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). Replace his sleepless nights with Your peace, and his loss of appetite with a hunger and thirst for righteousness (Matthew 5:6). Surround him with godly counsel and community to support him in this difficult time. Help him to trust in You with all his heart and lean not on his own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). We declare that he is not lost, but found in You, and that You will direct his steps.
Lord, we also pray for her husband. If he is unrepentant, we ask that You would bring conviction to his heart. If there is any hope for restoration, we pray that You would work a miracle in his life, softening his heart and leading him to repentance. But if not, we ask that You would remove him from her life in a way that protects her and honors You.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would lead this brother to a godly spouse in Your timing—someone who loves You above all else and with whom he can build a marriage that reflects Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Until then, help him to wait on You and to find his identity and worth in You alone.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), the only name by which we have access to You (John 14:6). We thank You, Lord, that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). May Your will be done in both of their lives, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.
Now, brother, we encourage you to take these steps:
1. **Repent and Surrender**: Confess this relationship to the Lord and repent of any sin. Ask Him to cleanse your heart and give you the strength to walk away. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).
2. **Set Boundaries**: You cannot continue in this romantic relationship while she is married. This does not mean you must cut off all contact, but you must establish clear boundaries. If she reaches out to you, encourage her to seek godly counsel and to pursue reconciliation with her husband if it is safe, or to pursue a biblical divorce if the abuse continues and he remains unrepentant. Do not engage in conversations that lead you both back into sin.
3. **Seek Godly Counsel**: Find a pastor or mature Christian mentor who can walk with you through this. Proverbs 11:14 says, "Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."
4. **Guard Your Heart**: Fill your mind with Scripture and surround yourself with worship. The enemy will try to pull you back into this relationship, but you must resist him, firm in your faith (1 Peter 5:9). Memorize verses like Psalm 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me."
5. **Pray for Her, But Not as a Spouse**: You can pray for her safety, her healing, and her relationship with the Lord, but you must release her to God’s will. You cannot be her savior—only Jesus can do that.
6. **Focus on Your Relationship with Christ**: This pain is an opportunity to draw closer to the Lord. Spend time in His Word and in prayer. Let this be a season of growth, not just of heartbreak. "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8).
7. **Trust God’s Timing**: If this woman is meant to be your wife, God will bring her to you in His timing and in a way that honors Him. Until then, trust that He has a plan for your life, even if it doesn’t look the way you imagined. "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11).
We know this is incredibly painful, and it may feel like your heart is being torn in two. But we promise you, God is faithful. He sees your tears, He hears your cries, and He will not abandon you. "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit" (Psalm 34:18). You are not lost—you are being refined, and God is using this to draw you closer to Him. Stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10). You are not alone. We are standing with you, and more importantly, God is with you.

To tell her you are stepping away, you might consider saying something like:
"###, I need to share something important with you. After much prayer and reflection, I've realized that continuing this relationship is not honoring to God. I believe it's best for both of us to step away from this romantic involvement. This decision is not about you as a person, but about aligning my life with God's will. I care deeply for you and will continue to pray for your safety and well-being. Please know that I am here to support you in any way I can, but I must set this boundary for my own spiritual health and obedience to God."
