You are seeking the relationship you signed up for and didn't get. I am so sorry you are going through this. What I have found to be true is the saying "it takes one nail to knock out another". I'm not suggesting that you cheat on your husband but sometimes you need the love and attention from another to finally have the strength to move on. I know for me in past relationships I didn't truly get over the guy until I found another one. It was a wonderful feeling to FINALLY be over him. It may seem impossible right now but I promise you if you allow someone else to treat you the way you deserve you will be surprised how quickly you can move on. If you think there's a chance your husband will see the error of his ways and you are willing to work things out I would hope for the best especially since you have a beautiful baby boy. However, no one deserves to be mistreated and feeling like they have to look over their shoulders and check pockets and what not. Marriage should be about trust and as you said he's making your life miserable. He is breaking your spirit and causing unnecessary stress. Be strong and I wish for you the best.

But sometimes flirting can lead to that. Though just flirting is harmless, it can make things painful for the one who does not flirt. Sit down with him, and calmly, without accusing or anything, let him know how his flirtatious behavior makes you feel. Don't get angry, just calmly explain to him the situation.
