There are so many things going on at the same time here. You're feeling guilty, but you're mourning for this lost relationship too. Your recovery can't happen quickly enough for you, but the raw wound of wanting someone, even if they are the wrong person at the wrong time with bad intentions, hurts no less.
You know that you deserve better than what this person was offering you, right? You deserve to feel better, to be able to go forward with your marriage. How about making your peace your number one priority right now? I'm not saying don't worry about the sex with your husband - intimacy is a difficult thing to regain without help - I'm just saying to stop beating yourself up.
Given time (lots of time), your medication, and therapy, you'll be able to pull through this. Not without scars, but those are the badges we carry, at least mine are.
You might want to visit the Relationships board here - it is a new board but I think it would be a good place to talk.
Please take care!
