While emptying his suitcase after a European trip in 1918, Eleanor found some love letters from Lucy to FDR. She was devastated by the discovery, and confronted her husband with the letters. Eleanor offered him a divorce, but FDR did not want to hurt his family or abandon his political ambitions -- both of which would have occurred had he and Eleanor divorced. Eventually, Eleanor agreed to remain married -- but on the condition that he stop seeing Lucy.
