Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
You acknowledge having committed a wrong and you regret it. That is a sign of your Imaan, Allah consciousness of accountability in the court of Allah Taala.
Turn to Allah. Make tawbah and never repeat the sin again.
 
It is not clear to us whether you are actually staying with your husband or not. If you are still apart, make every effort to be together as soon as possible.
 
In that situation maintain more regular contact with your husband to satisfy your feminine needs through him and avert the whispers of Shaitaan.
 
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
