well....im not married, im a bit young yet but...

its really up to you whether or not you want to try this again....

On one hand....

They say, once a cheat always a cheat. How do you know that he isnt going to go back to this other woman right? If he honestly loved you and your children i dont think he wouldve done it in the first place. If he was feeling neglected by you, or vice versa, i think he needs to talk to you about it. I get the impression that there is a lack of communication between you two.

Of course...there are always other things to consider.

Marriage counseling is a great option. Like i said there are other things to consider, if you can support yourself and your kids by yourself, your kids in general, how stressful that will be on both of you. Im not trying to sway your judgement. But i wanted to give my perspective from both sides.

My personal opinion is, if you really think that he means it, Then i would say give him another chance, work through it in counseling, as hard as that is going to be. That would be my suggestion. If you can fix this then great! If not then you cant say that you didnt try, and there wont be any guilt in that. Do whatever you can to get through this. It wil be a true test of your relationship. If it doesnt work then it looks like you would have to move on. But, if it didnt work out, you will at least have the satisfaction of knowing that you cared enough to try. Good luck dear.
