I (F28) cheated on my husband (M28), confessed, and don't know how to move forward?

Hello.

I am a 28-year-old Asian woman. I cheated on my husband a few weeks ago, and he found out yesterday. I feel guilty and ashamed.

He demanded that I confess everything, and I told him that I did it for money. I wasn't horny or looking for another relationship—I was just broke.

I have been with him for six years, and he has never cheated on me, not even once. He is loyal, loving, caring, and also a very good father.

Seeing him after he found out completely broke my heart. He looked so sick because he cried and screamed so much. I've never seen him in that kind of pain before, and knowing that I caused it makes me feel even more ashamed. Every time I look at him, I'm reminded of what I did.

What makes this even worse is that it's not just about the two of us anymore. We have a daughter, and she's involved in this too. I'm terrified that one day she might find out what happened. I don't know how I would ever explain it to her or face her if she knew the truth. The thought of hurting my family like this is overwhelming.

I feel incredibly sorry and guilty for what I did to him. I don't know what to do. Please help me.

P.S. He doesn't want to get divorced, but I do.
