I've been tempted to reach out to his brother and/or dad. I know they'd both be reasonable and want to help. I'm curious if anyone has done similar?
You've notified him (OBS) and that is where your obligation ends imho. It's up to him if he wants to tell his family or not, and I think it would be crossing a line for you to share his truth with people in his life. It's up to him what and how much he wants to share and getting that support is on him, not you.
Just my 0.02.

Yeah, that's been my gut reaction, too... I think I just need to let myself be upset for him for a little bit, too, and let Karma cover what she needs to cover.

I feel the same as the previous two posters. You shouldn't do it. It is up to him to reach out. You doing so would be stepping over bounds and he might see it as yet another betrayal.
You could suggest to him to seek help and support. Inform him about BAN (Beyond Affairs Network) which has local small support groups. Or seek help through an IC (Individual Counsellor). Or encourage him to talk with his own support group - his brother and/or dad.
I'm so sorry that both of you have been subjected to this. Your WH and his fiancé are both POS.

I agree would absolutely be a serious violation to share someone else's story with their people, without their permission.

Happily remarried and in an open/polyamorous relationship. DH (married 3 years) & DBF (dating 2 years). Cohabitating happily all together!! <3
