If your spouse really did do something to force you to find comfort in someone else, it is important to start with honesty. Being upfront from the beginning will only help heal your marriage.

Consider trying couples therapy, as well. It can be really beneficial for the both of you because it'll help you put everything out in the open, instead of hoping things fall into place on their own. Even if your significant other isn't into therapy, you can always go by yourself.

If anything, it'll give you the perfect opportunity to just talk about what happened in a safe, open environment. You and your therapist can work together to make sure it never happens again, and work on ways for you and your husband to heal — together.
