Call the police/authorities if someone has made a life threat against your husband. You would do that even for a stranger, and you have no idea if you will be caught in the middle, either. Do that first. Be safe. Now... Beyond that.
It's so humanly understandable that you want to hurt him like you hurt. Let me say that so many of us know where you are and how you feel right now. Anger and rage -- a familiar feeling when we are injured. When we hurt, we want to defend first, then fight back. I personally like the idea of pepper in the underpants. :)
But seriously now. You have invested your heart, and now you feel wounded. Maybe what you heard from this man is so, maybe it's not. Reserve judgment until you know the truth.
Take just a second to be calm. Usually our immediate instinct is to react. But you don't know the truth yet. You are assuming what you hear is actually so. Well, everyone has his or her perception, and so might this husband who rang you.
So first, find out the truth as best you can. Confront your hubby with the call. Listen to him, and also listen to your gut between the lines. Step back and know what you know. You might "know" things in your heart that are confirmed, and then again, you might sense that what you heard doesn't really fit with your gut feeling about your hubby. Either way, ask the hard questions. Insist on clear answers. Don't settle for less than the truth; don't settle for evasiveness or turning the tables on you. Just de determined to stay on the track to know the facts. Have the dialogue, and if you need to, have it in the presence of a professional who can keep it truthful and on track. You're so close to the situation, it is easy to get drawn off into other issues. And it's already so emotional for you, it might be better to have someone netural ther with you when you start talking about it.
After you talk with your hubby, make a gut decision. Listen to what you sense is really true. Take a look to see how much your insecurities or your knowing plays a part. Strive to be objective.
Take care of yourself first. Regardless of what is true/not true, there is a reason you doubt your husband and at least possibly believe these accusations. It suggests that you may not have the trusting kind of relationship that you deserve. Well, guess what? You DO deserve to be with a person who loves you and whose love you can trust. If the accusations are not true, it is time to stand for yourself and be the champion for yourself. You absolutely deserve to be loved fully, wholly, for who you are. I would say-- just from a personal standpoint and having lived a good deal of years-- don't settle. Do not settle for less. You were intended to have a beautiful, joyful, good, fulfilled life. If you are receiving less than that, stand for yourself and claim it.
Finally, you do not serve yourself in hurting someone back if you find they have done you wrongly. Yes, if that is the case, they were wrong. That belongs to them, and you cannot change who they are , and truly, their behavior has more to do with how they feel about themselves than with you. Let them deal with their pain, and do not be a part of it. No one can deny that it hurts to be betrayed. Yet if you change your lens a bit, you can see that what they do is SO beneath you and so unrelated to how incredible you really are. People who betray others are filling a hole that has nothing to do with you. It is an endless and painful place they are in that finds them betraying the person they truly wish to love--themselves. It sounds so cliché, I know, but know his behavior (and people's behavior in general) is much more about how horrible they feel about themselves than it is about you. You are fine.
You are fine. You will be fine. You can do nothing to him to hurt him that he hasn't already done to himself. He knows hurt, hate, and anger, because if he cheated on the one he loved, he did it because he doesn't feel he deserves it. I know it sounds weird. But those who don't love others cannot do so because they don't recognize it in or for themselves first. As horrible as this all feels to you, he no doubt struggles more if he has cheated, even if not apparent to you.
Do something for yourself. Let go if he is a cheater. Claim for yourself a great life, full of the things you deserve and desire. If someone treats you this way, it is a blessing that they go away from you; to not do so would destine you to a life of wondering and wanting that would never be fulfilled.
My heart goes out to you. Keep your chin up; don't stoop down. Keep the courage. And don't lose trust in yourself. Reach out to those who really love you in this hard time. You have a community of people you may not even personally know who are here and get it. Take advantage of that. Don't be pulled into someone else's drama. Make your life yours.
All the best.

I TALKED TO MY HUSBAND AND YES HE SAID IT WAS A LIE! HE KEEPS TELLING ME NOT TO THROW OVER 18 YEARS A WAY OVER A LIE . HE SAID HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT 2 ME ! HE KNOWS IM NOT A PUSH OVER HE SAID IF HE HAD HE WOULD COME CLEAN BECAUSE HE KNOWS IM GOING TO DO AS I SEE FIT WITH HIM ARE NOT.I JUST DONT FEEL ANYTHING NO ANGER , HATE, HAVENT EVEN CRIED . HE WORKS OUT OF TOWN AND IS ON HIS WAY HOME TO TRY AND GET THIS SET RIGHT . I JUST DONT KNOW...........................................
Does the man who called you have proof? He said he wants to kill your husband as if it's his fault. It takes two to tangle. How does he know his wife didn't seduce your husband first?
I would get some kind of evidence first and if you can't get it,I would test your husband with questions. Personally I would just ask him straight out. Sometimes when people have an affair, it means something is lacking in the relationship and they're trying to make it with someone else. I don't mean to sound mean but could it be your fault that he's out cheating on you? Are you too bossy and choking him not giving him space?
If the two of you are still in love then I would talk to him and work something out. Give each other a chance and you might have a better relationship then you had before. And if you decide to forgive him, you should put this all behind you.
And if all else fails, the best way to hurt him is get evidence and get a divorce and take half his money. What is he afraid of the most? His weakness? Try aiming at those too.

thanks mims but its not me i give him space and time, we do talk . we have been married for 18 years . the bed is not lacking he gets it how he wants it . i don't fuss or fight i put him and the kids first. I'm a stay at home mom like he wanted it . i don't understand it if u are getting what and how u want why go and get it else were. so i know in my hart its not me. as for the other man he wants to meet with me to show proof she said it was going on . I'm getting 2 old 4 this!!!!!!!
sometimes its really hard to give feedbacks because we don't see everything that you see. we need to know how you feel about the situation then we can give a more proper advice. do you feel that you are up for a divorce or you're not strong enough to handle it? but if you feel that you have done nothing wrong but to please him and have done your part as a wife then to hurt him, i would make him pay for alimony and child support if your kids are still young. Revenge will never heal the hurt that you felt but it can make you feel a little bit better. i would go as far as hurting someone physically or totally damage them because i believe we should all have a bigger heart and we should learn how to be more forgiving. If i were you, I'd try to take as much money from him as possible because money is more practical than any other kinds of revenge. I'm sorry if this is not the type of answer you are looking for. my only advice is when two people don't get along anymore, they shouldnt force themselves to be together. life is short and has way more to offer than just love and relationship.
Angela, I know about the pain you're feeling because I've been in exactly the same situation, and the other woman's husband is the one who made me aware of it by having me listen to a tape when he tapped their phone. On this tape I heard them telling each other "I love you" and it tore my heart out. Yes, at first I wanted to hurt him, I wanted to do something that would cause him as much pain as he had caused me. I think that's a natural reaction. You've been betrayed and it makes you wonder what else you've been in the dark about, you may wonder, "who is this man?" This get even, revenge seeking attitude will probably pass in time. In the meantime, DO NOT let anyone try to convince you that his cheating is YOUR fault, it is NOT. Even if he wasn't feeling satisfied within your marriage, it doesn't give him license to go out and get involved with someone else. On the other hand, and this is hard to understand but I know it's true: The fact that he cheated on you doesn't mean he doesn't love you, not knowing the details makes it harder to explain but it could be that right now he's even more upset with himself than you are, he may be willing to spend the rest of his life showing you how much he loves you and trying to treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Don't waste your time trying to get revenge, not only will you end up regretting it later but it could put you in a worse situation. It's better to be good to yourself, love yourself and you be the one that makes you happy. Right now, try not to do anything that you can't change....and don't lose your confidence and self respect, you're going to need them later.
