He has ruined our perfect life....

Yesterday I found out that my husband of 20 years had cheated on me while on a cruise holiday with his brother. We have been together since I was 18, have two children together 15 and 9. I am an independent, intelligent and attractive woman. I spend most of my non-working hours to household duties, cooking, cleaning, he helps with cleaning and grocery shopping. We live in the nicest house and go on holiday 3 times a year.....in short, we had everything!
I love him and trusted him to go on holidays with his brother, he returned around 2 weeks ago, since his return we had sex several times, he acted completely normal.
Yesterday I accidentally opened his FB that's where I saw this flirty msg popping in so I started talking to her as him...that's when I came to know they've kissed several times and slept once. She is in her mid-fifties and XXL in size. When confronted, he apologized but I went out of control screaming and slapping him and self-harming myself, I had a nervous breakdown. Unfortunately, our daughter witnessed it all and now know what her dad had done.
I want to kick him out of our house as the house is in my name but he is begging for a forgiveness when asked the reason he said it was a poor judgment .....My knees are shaking, I am not sure what I want but then when I look at my kids, they love their father and he loves them and he says he loves me too.......it feels he has slit my throat, the pain is unbearable, I haven't slept for more than 24 hours .....what should I do?

Some posters here are showing how disgusting they are.

FWIW, this is why DV is still a thing. The reality is that many women agree with DV in principle, just not against women. Well, don't complain when that same attitude is turned on you.

Firstly, you need to get it out your head that your life together was perfect. It wasn't. Accepting this will make it easier to move on.

Fritz, I've read all your posts, and it definitely sounds as though you are minimising and making it out to be not that bad. This isn't an outright condonement, but nor is it a condemnation, and it does come across as an apologia.

Your poor daughter having to witness that

fritz would you be so understanding if a man slapped his wife in the same circumstances?

You seem to be avoiding answering this directly.
