What have I Done?

I have always felt I was a good, caring person (UNTILL NOW). I am 29 years old and have been with my husband for 8 years, married 6.
1st. Let me describe the wonderful man I am married to; he was raised Mormon (is not now, thank GOD!), but he was raised with the same fundamental social beliefs as me, to be good to others. Ask anyone, he is the kindest man. He is passionate for life and has loved me intensely through our relationship. He has supported my ambissions and helped me in becoming a successful businessperson.
2nd. we were married when I was 23. I have to admit I wasn’t ready and did not feel ready at the time. I am now realizing that the reason I agreed to marry him was to not hurt him. Don't get me wrong, I loved him. The spark just wasn't there. The sexual connection wasn't there.
3rdly. THE SEXUAL CONNECTION! This has been an issue for me basically fro the beginning. At first I accepted it but over time this has devastated the way I feel about him. The only way any decent love making occurred was if I took the anicieative. you can imagine that over time this takes a toll. I tried speaking to him about this but he always said he felt our relationship was amazing. I tried therapy with him which he hated ( I'm not sure we had a very good therapist. I felt she was drastically on my side. I was there to work on my issues as well and did not receive help from her only support that I was in the right). During this period I developed a close relationship to a male childhood friend, we fell in love. We had many lunches together and spent hours in amazing conversation. My husband didn't mind because this man was a good friend to him as well and thought that’s what we were. I was floating on water for about 6 months. Nothing physical happened until my Birthday dinner. A group of friends including this man and my husband ate and drank a wonderful dinner. As usual my husband was tired so I went out with this man to the Clubs. We confessed our love for each other and had a passionate make out session. We went back to his house where I stayed the night with NO SEX just talking, kissing and cuddling. He dropped me off in the morning and I justified to my undisturbed husband we had a fun friendly night hanging out. I felt aufull and fantastic! This man and I descried the next day that we would not see each other again. This was a year and a half ago
4thly. I have not been the same since that relationship occurred. The last few months my husband has been working at my firm. He has not attributed what I thought he would and has made my working more difficult. I have been horrible to him in exchange. I have lost any respect that I had for him and completely hate making love to him. I have also lost any love I had for myself. I HAVE BEEN MISSOURABLE!!! I have been drinking heavily and have had some embracing black outs. This leads me to the situation.....
THE SITUATION - My husband and I went to a girlfriend of mines house to have dinner with her, her husband and two beautiful children. We drank and drank and decided to stay at their house so not to drive. My husband eventually went to sleep. My girlfriend and her children went to sleep. Her husband and I stayed up drinking and drinking. I pretty much blacked out until I saw my husband face looking through a car door watching me and my friend’s husband having sex. We were not at their house but in a field somewhere. I don't know how this happened or how my husband found us. I know that this wasn’t rape, but that’s all I know. My husband got into his car and drove home ( to leave many holes in our walls). I veguely remember calling a girlfriend to pick me up. I stayed the rest of the night at her house and woke up in the morning still very intoxicated. I tried to gather myself, told her I was going to get coffee and headed straight over to my house. I walked in, my husband was in the bathroom. When he walked out and saw me he grabbed me by my throught and forced me out side then locked me out. I cried and pleaded for him to let me in so we could talk. He called a my girlfriend to come get me. She pulled me away and forced me into my car and led me back to her house.
NOW - I feel like the worst person in the world to hurt so many people I love. I know I have to move on but it seems almost unbearable. It has been exactly a week since this happened. My husband has put most of my things out which I have collected. He refused to let me see my four dogs ( my babies). He is only communicating with me via email regarding finances. He has face booked that we are not together and called every one, I mean every one of our friends to tell them we are not together and we are very social people. Most of our friends have been amazing even to me but there is undertone they are on his side ( if that’s what you want to call it). I am trying so hard to make this as easy as possible on him. His communication to me is getting meaner and meaner. I am having a hard time keeping my cool. I know the best thing to do is give him what he wants right now and time will heal. I also have to cover myself incase this gets nasty. I just need some advise on how to heal this situation?
