Talk to a trusted friend and do what he says. I've had plenty of friends go through this type of thing, and emotions run so high you're practically incapable of making a rational decision.
I've even seen people ignore the advice of a lawyer they're paying.
Speaking of lawyers, it's time for one. Now. Yesterday, actually.
Please don't try to do without one. Unless you're dead broke already, you'll wind up that way unless you get a lawyer. Don't even think about using your wife's to "save money."
It's also time to lean on friends and hang tough. In almost all instances I've seen, the lies told about the other party during a divorce are breathtaking. Maybe you'll be lucky, but most aren't, and it's a real kick in the nuts to hear that it's all your fault that she cheated. So try to avoid going to court if there's any way to work things out. Also, watch out for attorneys that keep stirring things up to increase their fee.
Wish I could be more uplifting. You'll get through it, and you'll be happy again, but not for at least six months, It's also likely that one day you'll have another wife, and be very glad this happened.
That's my take on it, anyway. Good luck.
