How can I deal with my discovery of exchanged messages between my husband and other women, especially after his promise not to repeat it and his return to communicating with the same person, while preserving the stability of my family?

If a wife spies on her husband and tracks his affairs, she must repent. If his continued involvement with other women is confirmed, she is advised to be patient and supplicate extensively for his guidance.
She should act cautiously and avoid causing a commotion. However, if the husband persists in his ways and harm is feared, the wife has the right to seek a divorce.
