He could have, but it would not have been good for
him.
In these days, divorce was possible, but it was
difficult. If his wife could prove he had been having an affair, she could have
divorced him. For him to divorce her, he would have had to find some kind of grounds
for it (there was none of the "no-fault" divorce that we have
now).
But if FDR had gotten divorced, I would say that his
political career would have been pretty much dead. People in those days were much less
forgiving of things like that and they would have thought that his (presumably) bad
character would have made him a poor choice for office.
