Now hang on a moment... You didn't actually meet them. Were you planning on meeting them? Granted, what you did was wrong, but it wasn't full on cheating in my book. Is your wife in the right for being pissed? Yes. Should you have been chasing women online? No. This is the step BEFORE the actual cheating. You stopped it. This is very common these days with phones and computers. It is easy to meet people online. It is almost like married men having girlie mags in the old days, except that pictures don't talk and there was no way to do that. IMO, this is the modern version. But, if you are committed, this part of life should be over for you. Period.
