I’ve decided to forgive her and stay together. But I’m going to have a few flings in order to allow me to move forward and reduce the pain.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Who do you think his middle-aged married wife slept with? lol There is a website all those losers frequent.
Men of all ages will sleep with just about any woman. Women have a higher bar.
I can't imagine any of my friends fantasizing over bedding a middle-aged married father with a dad bod.

I think a lot of affairs are survivable. It will take many years to work through, of course. Time is a great healer. Right now, take care of yourself, your kids, and put one step in front of the other. Say as little as possible to friends and relatives, because one day you might regret the details you told them. This might be a good time to consult a therapist, by yourself, to process your feelings. In my experience, couples therapy doesn't work. Individual therapy can work, however.
I'm very sorry, OP. Best of luck.

He did not have a revenge affair because he was the one wanting to save the marriage the most, she might have actually walked if he had done that.
The outcome is they have been married for many years after the affair. They appear to be very happy.
