Good man. I suggest you move back in immediately and your stuff back in as it is convenient. Stake your claim early and often.
Definitely wear a voice recorder. And stay away from her lover. It will do you no good to confront him further.
Here's a further hint. You want the house (even if you really don't). That's your position.
There is another active thread on here about teen kids who don't want to go to Dad's new place for 1/2 the time because it is too inconvenient, away from their stuff, away from their friends, etc. It is a common story. Keeping the marital home (or selling it and splitting proceeds) will likely gain you more time with the kids than any other housing strategy.
If she wants a new guy, then she can take the actions to be with him. With luck, she'll move out and start staying with him.
