My husband cheated on me but I don’t know how to deal with this situation. What are my options?

A week ago I walked through the doors of my home to find my husband in bed with another woman. Apparently she had no idea that he was married, and I know this because I saw the messages that he sent to her. He said he has made Tawbah but I am unsure of his sincerity. He seems to be genuine, but this is not the first incident that we have had; this is just the first time that he had gotten caught in the act. I asked for his reasoning for being defensive but he didn’t reply. All he keeps saying is; I am sorry. I am so confused as to what to do.

I keep thinking about abortion due to my cheating with this other man while married to my husband.

Earlier this year, I made the biggest mistake of committing adultary. I was married at the time to my husband and had been married to him for over a year. I told him what I had done and asked for forgiveness from him and from Allah (swt) and my husband had forgiven me and has accepted all of this. My feelings are very confused for this baby as I wanted a baby with my husband and wanted to settle down, I know this baby is my husband’s 98%. When I was intimate with this other man we used protection, thus too makes it impossible for him to be the biological father of the child.
