I'm so sorry! I can really see how painful this is for you.
If you think that staying in another room in the house is the best idea, then do it. I, personally, would move out (at least for a while) maybe stay with your mom for a bit while omitting details about why you are moving out (It isn't working out, we are fighting more than usual, I need some time off, etc.)

I completely understand you not wanting to hurt or disappoint your mom but the reality is that this is not about your mom-- it's about you. At the end of the day, this is your life and whatever choice you make about this situation will effect what the rest of your life will be like, not your moms.

I think the "denial" or "I can't believe he would do that" phase is very normal. No one anticipates being cheated on, betrayed, or lied to by their partner. It's tough. But you would not be the first or last woman who left a man for deceiving her in such a selfish way.

If it helps, maybe you should seek professional help and ask if he would agree to going with you if he truly wants to save what is left of your relationship.

Good Luck, with whatever you decide. I know you will do what's best for you.
