Husband on a dating site

Hi, I'm a long time lurker, never posted before.
I'm 61, husband same age, been married 11 years, together for 17, second time round for us both.
Last night, we watched TV, chatted, normal evening really. I was knackered and went to bed at 10pm, slept until 5am when he came to bed, saying he'd fallen asleep downstairs. He's done this before (and so have IBlush) but never so late.
I got up to let the dog out at 6, sat downstairs with a cup of tea, don't know what made me look but I checked his iPad. He'd registered (and paid) on an online dating site at 2am and been online until 5am when he came to bed.
He didn't wake up till after 10am, and was very "off" with me, avoided conversation and obviously didn't want to be in the same room as me. I went out for the afternoon.
This evening it's all fine, chatting away. I've not confronted him, my gut reaction is to keep quiet for now, but get my ducks in a row.
To be honest, I'd be perfectly happy if he went off with someone else, poor cow that she'd be.
Just wondering WWYD

The difference i Esoteric and *White is that your mothers were squirrelling away money so they could leave even if it took them some time so had a 'leaving plan'. The OP doesn't want to leave which is what I am struggling to understand. Her prerogative and choice obviously. I just think it's a waste of two lives.

Where are the nasty comments knackered?

As I said, I had no intention of leaving in the short term, however the goalposts have changed due to my discovery of his seedy little online hobby. Leaving in a hurry would be difficult as I don't have any family I could stay with, so would need to be planned. I do have some money squirrelled away. If I find that he has shagged anyone then the shit will hit the fan.
Difficult to pass judgement on how others live their lives unless you have walked in their shoes.
