Truer words were never spoken. What did a wise man once say? "Let he who is without sin caste the first stone"
Personally I would rather take ownership, be accountable and be responsible but it's so much easier to blame, deny or make excuses! Given the choice (and that's what life is all about - choice) I would rather travel the more difficult road and at the end of my journey count my blessings and know that my ethics, values and standards have travelled with me.
You are facing a dilema many of us have lived through or are currntly going through. Do not let yourself drown in the emotion that torments you at this point in time.
The best advice I would give is to seek counselling:
Firstly on your own, for yourself (and hopefully your spouse will do the same). This will help clarify your thoughts and feelings and offer you an opportunity to look forwards. It also sometimes helps to be able to listen to yourself through the reflected words of another.
Secondly, if there is hope for reconcilliation, then you and your spouse could attend counselling together and work towards rebuilding the relationship. This rebuilding is only possible if both parties are willing.
Counselling is not a quick fix. For some it can take years, just as rebuilding a relationship can take years. The results of your combined efforts will not gaurantee a 'and they lived happily ever after' utcome, but unless you try, you will never know.
Good luck to you Mikhael, everybody deserves a second chance.
