I can only give you the counsel of God...
1 Cor 7:10-11
"To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife."
1 Cor 7:39
"A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord."
Whether we choose to stay with our spouse for life is up to us... But in the Lord's eyes we will still be married to them until death- whether we "divorce" them or not. I don't find the option of divorcing to marry another in scripture. Luke 16:18
God WILL bless your obedience- I can promise you that! And He has a bigger purpose for you in this...
Seek His Word- not anyone here. But I do believe He is speaking to you through these people as well- because they are echoing His heart and His Word on marriage.
I will pray for you sister...
Also, a broken home is never in the best interest of a child... except for extreme circumstances like abuse. Please do some research on that- it's heartbreaking.

good word, keeping faith,
And sister cmlsjp, I urge you to repent for your unfaithfulness at whatever level. If you are truly repentant and walk it out on a daily basis, turning from sin and the entertaining of fantasy, the Lord will forgive you and deliver you from the heavy power of a seducing spirit, which wants to destroy the believer.
He can also begin to give you a renewed focus on the Lord, rather than the faults/sins of your husband. It is not a good thing to overfocus on your husband's issues as it can truly blind you to your own. The Lord WILL deal with him, and then, as you grow in trust with the Lord, you can find that God could begin to give you His understanding and perspective on your husband's needs, so you can pray for him. That is a godly response to trials with our loved ones.
I warn you that if you look for other reasons to leave or go the route to divorce, you will suffer in other ways you have not yet suffered. It is not God's way. He will give you everything you need to walk in godliness if you turn to Him.

Ever heard this expression-'"the grass is always greener over the septic tank"
what you are seeing from afar is prob. nowhere near the day in and day out picture of what life would be elsewhere...what you have in front of you is what you made a vow to God about. I would try concentrating more on your spouse and child and close the door on yesterday.
