I’ll try to make a very long story short!!
Marriage broke down, there have been problems for years that I am now very much aware of. Neither one of us communicated to the other and it led to us both becoming very unhappy and led DH to get a bit of an ego boost via messages from someone else.
Nothing happened physically it was a bit of flirting, we have explored the reasons behind it and are attending counselling we are building a new relationship and things are going really well.
He has to still see this person at work and while I feel no threat whatsoever I am struggling with the thought of them talking and him being nice to her. Logically I am reassured by him but I just don’t like it and need to find a way to make peace with it but I just don’t know how!

I think more or less anyone in your shoes would feel anxious. It’s sub-optimal that they still see each other at all. But these are difficult times for getting a job so I see why neither of them can just leave. Is he doing what he can to minimise contact?

The bottom line is that he crossed a line with this woman. Only time will tell whether he crosses it again with her or someone else. There’s no quick fix to how you feel about this and no quick way to make peace. He needs to rebuild your trust in him. That takes time.
