He knows he's screwed. He would rather lose a fight about why he's doing some weird, stupid thing (i.e., denying it despite being caught red handed) than lose one about why he was cheating. Don't belabor the issue; anything you say to him should take for granted the fact that he was caught red handed. He'll drop it.
OP: that at least makes sense. I can't get my head around it.
My family does this kind of lying all the time. It's their favorite form of communication. As you move on from this, you're going to find more of your husband's lies. If he's going to lie about an affair when you actually caught him in the act, then you can count on it - he's in the habit of lying. Sorry, I know how horrible it feels. To make things less painful for you, pp's advice is very good. Don't engage when he tries to argue the point. You know the truth, and that's that.
