Infidelity Support Group
Any relationship in which one partner engages willfully in sexual relations with another outside of the partnership is considered to have experienced infidelity. This breach of trust is often traumatizing for the faithful partner as well as the relationship, and support is often needed to heal emotionally and to decide whether or not the relationship should continue after...

At this point it doesn't look very hopefull. There is no way in hell that a B.S. can just forget and move on. That's not how cheating works. It's not an "oopsie" type if thing. It involves lost trust in your partner that's huge.

And when his loving wife discovers the affair, he just tells you to forget about it. Does he think you don't have feelings or does he just not care? Forget about it? Sure, why not? Every husband should get a free pass for betraying his wife as well as openly admitting to using and discarding another human being.
He's giving you a heads up that you don't satisfy him because in his world, he is the only thing that matters. It's a warning to learn to look over affairs because he's entitled to have them if the two of you are separated, if you don't SATISFY him, or if he just needs a little something extra on the side.
Well, that's some of the most misogynistic, egotistical BS I've ever heard. He's telling you point blank how he values men and women. In his world, it's all about him. Women are creatures with secondary status. I'm almost certain he does not feel you are entitled to a divorce either. Good women don't do that. They just let their husband walk all over them and do whatever they want.
It's nothing you did wrong and there is nothing you can do to change him.
The level of selfishness is at the narcissistic level if not sociopathic level.
He used the OW for sex and he uses you for life stability and your family as a badge so he can hide his true self from others in the guise of a family man.
I doubt this is a misogynist issue and that he treats everyone as an object or player in his own world.
The lack of remorse and flippant response to your pain as a human being supports this line of reasoning.
Get a lawyer as I would wager he would be as unscrupulous in a divorce settlement.
