He wasn't unhappy for all those years, more likely he started having some stupid mid-life crisis and decided to step out on you and try to recoup his youth. I seriously doubt there was no other woman. He is not in a relationship now?

So far as I know, no, he isn't in a relationship now but since the separation was conceded on October last year, I could know very few things about him: nobody let me know anything; at some point I thought that if the children knew something, neither would tell me in order of no upsetting me, and our previous common relations (i.e. work mates), don't tell me nothing: since he left the house, I saw him three times outside the court setting; in short, I don't know anything about him since he left the house, I mean, who he has relations now be them professional, personal, whatever, who he considers friends, with whom he goes out... I don't have any idea what he does or doesn't! Why do you think he should be in a relationship? He is not a man who needs a woman to do things for him: he's very independent and can live alone, I mean he is able to have a domestic and a professional life without anyone taking care of him... I know for a fact that he insist in keeping a relationship with the children but they try to keep it at a minimum (one of them already cut all communication with her father: I don't blame her... the other two try to keep him at arms length). And yes, you are right about the ''midlife crisis'': I was told this while I was at the hospital, trying to take hold of my sanity and curing my cuts... For him it was a fateful combination of a midlife crisis with empty nest syndrome: our last kid had left for college almost two years before when he asked me for a separation out of the blue...
