Although divorce is not strictly forbidden in Christianity, and Mosaic Law allowed for divorce in cases of infidelity, Christ suggests a different model--one of fidelity, with forgiveness:

"Have you not read that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate."

(Matthew Ch 19)

Which does not forbid divorce, but demands that we understand marriage in a spiritual, and not just a legal perspective; and requires that we understand that 'hardness of heart' plays a role.

A married man who isn't a christian has an affair his wife is a christian an she decides to stay married to him then the man becomes a christian an then the wife decides she wants a divorce can she?

No she cannot get a scriptural divorce after she has already taken back her husband. They are "one flesh" again so if she gets a legal divorce and marries someone else, she commits adultery. If she wanted a scriptural divorce, she could've divorced him after he committed adultery and not "forgiven" him and taken him back.
