See if he likes that attention.

If your husband has had an affair for over two years, and is sat there with a phone in his hand or under his pillow, then it's time to move on. Because chances are he's texting other women, not just one. Especially if he hides the phone under his pillow. So make a decision. Do you want to be second best to this man and a phone for the rest of your life, or would you rather be brave and step back out there and find a good guy who will love you.

Your Husband wants you to accept that he is a Philanderer and just live with it while he risks your health and life for his own pleasure.
HE DOES NOT LOVE YOU
HE HAS AND IS CHEATING ON YOU
Why are you even with this man if he is doing this right in your presence?
Sadly if you will not show him any consequences for his actions he will continue to treat you like a doormat. And over time that is what you have become. Sorry to be harsh(as many here don't like something they need to hear) but I think you need to hear this
I am afraid that you need to meet with this other woman's husband so you can discover for yourself the truth. Please get tested for STD's(Cheaters are LIARS) so you must assume by his cavalier behavior any sexual contact between the two was unprotected. Even if he tells you it was protected, are you really going to take a cheater's word for anything?
I also suggest that you get into some IC as soon as possible. You have lost your feeling of self worth because your husband is a cretin.
You need to understand that he makes the conscious decision to cheat and you did nothing to make him do this. It is not your fault. But you also must understand that the only person you can control is yourself and if you stay in this situation you will have only yourself to blame.
You seem to be in a state of denial about this which is understandable for we want to believe something...ANYTHING that will tell us that this cant be happening as opposed to facing the truth, so you are not alone as this is usually the first reaction of someone who does not want to face it.
And you also need to see an attorney and see what your options are.
The main thing is this about cheaters:
Cheaters will never begin to change unless they fear LOSING something. He obviously does not have any fear of losing you, hence sleeping with his phone.
Good Luck, and get the hell away from him or you will be sorry

If he is behaving in this manner in front of you, I guarantee he is doing much worse behind your back. The further evidence from another woman's husband would confirm this in my mind. As someone who divorced her husband for similar behaviour, I can highly recommend leaving and finding someone whose values are closer to your own, ie. not cheating on you. People don't change all that much - if he's already doing this sort of thing then I would leave. In the end you need to decide if you can live with this person, or whether you would be happier taking another path. I hope this helps.

Get your life in order, make sure you organise some money to live with, over the next few months remove those things that are special to you from the house, one at a time
and then, when you have prepared for your getaway, take that phone, put it under the wheel of your car and run over the bloody thing, squeal the tires, blow dust in his face and leave.
He has no respect for you or your marriage. Why stay there?
