Cheating husband.

I've been married a year. My baby is 8 weeks old. My husband has been texting sexual content to other women for years and I've just found out and even met up with a so called friend of mine of 20 years and been sexting and flirting with her whilst I was pregnant and with a newborn. Buying her gifts. Giving her money. Hundreds of pounds Sending her flowers. He said it wasn't her it was the chase and the denile he got a kick out of. He's told me there's £25 thousand of debt I knew nothing about. He's paid to see a domonatrix. What do I do?
He says he's remorseful. Says he wants to kill himself for the years of lies and abuse he's given me. Says he's so ashamed of who he is as a human and doesn't even know himself. I believe in marriage and want to raise my son in a household with a mother and a father but where do I begin to get over this.

I'm sorry to hear this has happened to you, especially at such a stressful time as having a baby, I'm not married but I have had something similar happen...
My advice would be to leave him, if it was just a one time "one night stand" I could say you could maybe forget about it and forgive him if you were truly willing.
I had a partner who I found out had cheated on me (slept with the same woman twice) I was very hurt, but decided to forgive him, because like you say about your husband, he was remorseful and was so sorry and made all these excuses. I decided everyobe deserves a second chance. We have a 5 month old together and when I was pregnant I found out that not only had he cheated again, but he had done it with multiple women.... all throughout the relationship, even after me catching him. Obviously I split up with him.
I can guarantee that if you stay with him you won't trust him, you'll contanstly doubt where he is or what he's doing if he's just a little late gettin home, or doesn't answer calls/texts fast enough. It will drive you crazy and all this will show through to your child. They pick up on so much that we don't realise. It would be much healthier for your son if you were separated and happy rather than together and anxious/arguing etc. Because one thing I know is you will always hold it against yoir husband.
It's really difficult to repair and regain trust once it's broken.
You deserve much better, if he loved you he wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Focus on yourself and your new baby. Dobt let him feel any less than your worth.
