If your husband has cheated on you not only did he abuse your trust but he disrespected you and it will take time for him to gain that back that is if ever. You state that you can not leave him but the question is if you forgive him what will change? Can you believe him, is he trustworthy? Like Rahzie suggested below you might want to concider marriage counseling. We can try to forgive someone but sometimes depending on the situation forgiving is out of our hands...

But perhaps some more important questions:
Are you ready to forgive?
What does it mean for your marriage if you are not?
Do you have the tools you need to move forward in a more productive way?
Does he?
Infidelity is a struggle a lot of couples have to face at some point. There is no reason to do it all alone. Get some marital counselling (even if hubby isn't game, go yourself) to help you know what questions to ask, and to talk out your feelings with an intelligent guide. A good counsellor won’t push you to leave him, they’ll understand that cheating doesn’t necessarily mean a marriage is over, and can be recovered from if both parties are serious about it, but they will have a bunch of experience and education in how to make that happen if it’s what the couple wants.
