Repent to Allah with sincere repentance from adultery, for it is one of the major sins that incur Allah's wrath. Allah Almighty says: "And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way." (Quran 17:32). Let your repentance include immediate cessation of the immorality, profound regret for what you have done, and a sincere resolve never to return to this sin. Increase in righteous deeds, remembrance of Allah (dhikr), and supplication (du'a), and try to reform your husband, or separate from him if he does not repent.
