Me (40m) got cheated on by wife (38 f) and I’m beside myself. We’ve got young kids. We just bought a house 8 months ago. Found out she’s slept with a coworker many times over the past few months. This was a same coworker we were in therapy over about a year ago because she lied about meeting up with him a few times but swore nothing sexual happened. We had moved on from it. Then out of the blue I saw the last month or so worth of texts between them that showed up on an old iPad of hers my son dug out from the closet. It’s deep, there’s “love you babe”, meet ups in parking lots. Meets ups in our house while I was working night shift. It’s worst case scenario.
I don’t know what I’m looking for. Prob just needed to vent. I feel broken. Broken about not seeing my kids every day. Broken about the grand plans we had for our family. And that I’ll be turning 40 next month and have my world broken up.
Tldr; wife cheated. We have new house and kids. What’s the next step?
