I'm glad he's crying too and finally owning up to what he's done. That doesn't make it any better for you, but maybe there is hope for that lost SOB down the line.
What a waste. It is an absolute shame what you've endured from this man. However, you are and will continue to be better from this entire thing.
As you said, now that you know the truth, you can move forward. As painful as it is, the truth is very liberating indeed.
