My husband of almost six years has had an affair with an American woman

My husband of almost six years has had an affair with an American woman. He denies that he has done anything wrong. He prays and fasts, but for a time he stopped attending Majid. I assume it was because he was seeing this lady.

I am not sure what to do at this point. I ask for strength everyday to take the high road at all times no matter what unpleasant situations I face. I have been able to do just this so far. I feel no jealousy only compassion and strength but worry my resolve will not last long. I truly want the best for my husband. If he cannot love me I would prefer he compassionately divorce me.
