Relationship with married man for a year! Now what...

I know it's awful and I will be judged. But I have been in a relationship with a married man for over a year. His partner discovered the affair a few weeks ago and he's gone back to his partner and I am beside myself. It's literally as if I have never existed. How could he do this to me. Is it time to move on? I have wasted a whole year on this man. Promises me the world then drops me as soon as she finds out.
Some constructive advice needed please.

Why do posters keep calling the partner "wife"? For all we know they weren't married. (It doesn't make any difference whatsoever BTW, but on MN people always want to make the difference between the two).

The clue is in the title where the OP says he is married? So that's kinda what people are basing their decision that they're married.

OP, you've learnt a hard lesson, but if his wife does chick him out m, don't take him back. Firstly you'll be second choice and secondly he will do it again.

He had two preschool children when you met, for heaven’s sake.

If you think the type of man who’d risk losing his kids over you is a man worth having, your standards are so out of whack I feel sorry for you.

I don’t think he’ll be back. Not after you told his wife all the gory details. Block, binge on ice cream and trashy telly telly for a bit and move on.
