Believe it or not, couples do survive infidelity. I've seen it. I've seen relationships get put back together better than they ever were. Your wife's infidelity was a bit extreme. But I can't say for sure there's no way this marriage survives. What prompted her to confess?
Right now you are in major pain. You don't have to make an irrevocable decision right away. Take some breaths. This may be a time to wait before committing to a course of action.

Quite true! I know a couple that are close family friends are about to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. I don’t know the details, but the wife had an ongoing affair for several years. The affair has long since ended and they seem very happy together.
I can’t say how I would proceed but wanted to say that Rose makes a good point. The relationship may be able to be repaired and trust reestablished, although both spouses would need to want it and I think a good marriage/family counselor should be involved.
The son’s behavior...I don’t know what to say. I imagine he felt pulled in both directions especially if he is younger.
