My husband cheated on me, my parents say they won't let you home if you get divorced, what should I do? :(
Watch "An Unmarried Woman", the 1978 masterpiece starring Jill Clayburgh. It was a very important film that give women like yourself the motivation to move on after an experience like yours.
It's a very good film that came out when I was 15. I have to believe that it had an important impact on me as a not-quite-a-man to discover inner adult instincts and a range of emotions. I won't say that it was my awakening moment as a feminist since I did grow up in the 1970s when "the women's movement" was in full-swing, but this film hit home with me as I felt tremendous empathy for Erica Benton, Jill Clayburgh's character whose husband has an affair and leaves her.

These morons are right. No need to end a marriage after cheating. You'll just have to get the past the fact that every time you look at him, you'll imagine him sliding his hard cock into another woman and kissing her more passionately than he's ever kissed you. Oh and you'll never trust him again, but hey! You can STILL save the marriage. Absolutely
Find an apartment for yourself, divorce your husband and learn to depend on yourself.
I know it’s hard not having parental support but trust me when I tell you it’ll be even harder if you stick around.
You don't need to stay with someone who did that to you. If your parents won't let you in then try to find a roomate or someone you trust

Talk with your husband and see if your marriage can be saved. A single incident of cheating should not automatically end a marriage.
