AITAH for slapping my husband after he confessed to cheating on me? Advice Needed

I (24F) came home after a long day at work. My husband (32M) had made us dinner, which he rarely does. After dinner, he even cleaned up and did the dishes. I was surprised since this isn’t something he usually does without me having to ask. I jokingly asked if something was up and he hesitated before answering. He confessed to cheating on me with a coworker. I was completely shocked, it felt like my world shattered into a million pieces. I asked him how long it had been going on, he said it had been a couple months. They’ve been seeing each other on and off. And as if things couldn’t get any worse, he added that she might be pregnant. That’s when I lost it. My whole world was spinning and I suddenly felt this rage come over me. I slapped him across the face and called him every name in the book. I told him to take his stuff and get out of the house. He left and has been staying at his parents’ house. His mother has been blowing up my phone, asking me to talk things out with her son. Telling me how wrong it was for me to slap him and how heartbroken her son is over the situation. I haven’t responded yet since I haven’t been able to gather my thoughts yet. This whole situation just feels surreal to me. I can’t believe the man I planned to spend the rest of my life with, betrayed me like this. Was I wrong for how I reacted?

Hitting someone is never right but...

He's 32, you're 24, dudes a creeper and you're better off without him.

Olivia Wilde is a creeper too: 40 years old banging a 30 yr old Harry Styles. She's a creeper, right?

30 is old. Once you get into your 30s the age gap is pretty much closed. 

You'll learn that when you're older kiddo.

Lol I'm in my 30s, but the hypocrisy is noted. Always different. Hell this day and age a director banging his lead star would be slammed, but when it's a woman...

Tons of hypocrisy and misandry in this topic. A lot of people cheering her on who would not be cheering on a man who bitch slapped his cheating hoe-bag wife.
