So my wife just confessed to cheating on me after I kept telling her about my suspicions. She tells me she got tired of me being fat and playing video games after work. I was just tired everyday after work and didn't want to do much sometimes. We moved to a new town and I promised we'd go out more because everything was nearby now. I even started paying 90 a month at a gym with a trainer. The first week here she found a new friend and I was mad because she would ignore my texts sometimes while jogging and lie about where she was. I understood and let her hang out with her friend because he was just a friend and reassured me he wasn't a threat. She would go jogging and tell me ahead of time if I wasn't so chubby she'e invite me to jog with her. One day she came home at 5am high as hell and smiling/giggling when I spent the day clearing out our old apartment because she didn't want to come with and help me, so I let her relax at a nail salon to do her nails that day. I asked and she told me she hung out with him all night, from 11pm to 5am, but she did nothing and just got high. Three days later after we made up and we're back to normal, I get the text shown above. I thought this would be the woman I'd be with forever, and when she told me this I immediately changed forever. This is my worst nightmare come true and worse. Imagining it over and over in my head kills me more and more inside. I told her we have to divorce. I can't be with someone who would betray me in such a way and then come home smiling and happy about it plus hide it and pretend all is fine to 3 days after. I don't feel like I'll ever feel better and I think this will be on my mind for the rest of my life. How do people deal with this? I have no idea what to even do? I thought would die happy with her and this is what I get.
Tldr version
The woman I thought I'd be with forever wanted some friends because she was lonely so we moved to a new nicer town and she ended up having sex with one of them and was happy about it and now I think about it 24/7 and can't be with her.
Also there's a lot of horribly details I left out that I learned about the whole thing.

Don't take her back. I took my cheating bf back and all he's done is make me miserable and string me along. She messed up, you didn't.

Get tested in about a month. It can take 3-6 weeks for any STD's to show up on a panel. Getting tested ASAP would be pointless.

What? Property rights were agreed upon under certain conditions, one of which is usually sexual behavior.

My dad cheated on my mom and she had proof. My dad still got everything. In some states it doesn't matter.

To my understanding sexual behavior does matter in divorce settlements, as monogamy is usually understood to be part of marriage 1/2

Breaking the marriage bond sexually does give better grounds for divorce and better results for the other partner in many jurisdictions.

Marriage is based on a written and binding contract of two people's lives. You break the agreement, you've done yourself no justice.

Not true, marital assets are dependent upon a number of factors including who started with what, where it came from, who worked, kids,etc.

That still doesnt change the fact she cheated on him? Even if she did try and help him and she didnt, why not leave him for being unwilling?
