I think it would be a great idea if people posting stopped squabbling amongst themselves.

i think you can work IF the company you will be working remotely is NOT an US company. It's all about taxes. If the company has no relation with US government and paying your checks to your Indian account then there will be no problem.
A friend of mine got married with an US citizen and she is working remotely and she hasn't received work permit yet. and she is so far so good..

oh, there are lots of go back home comments.. I think that's not that easy. I did similarly same things you've done. left my job, left my family behind and all my social life. For the one I love..
I only can advice you to listen to your hearth. And i believe that love is not sth that we can handle by ourselves. It's something getting stronger when we are together with beloved one. Think deeply about how you felt when you were together.. i mean before you learnt about his weaknesses.
Just listen to your hearth. It won't be easy to start things over, trusting him again. But just think, can you do that for this man? can you give him another chance?
You don't need to walk in the same way as the others. Sometimes fixing problems can make life better than having no problems. I had a couple friends. Girl cheated on him and after he learnt her mistake they had some bad days. But both of them wanted to fix this and they have very good life now. They are more open to each other than any couples i've ever seen. ( She had the same excuses as your husband, she cheated him when she was feeling too weak and when she had big concerns about the relationship) .
Another point is you don't have any concerns about today, do you? You are sad about the 8months. Ask him if he really wants to fix this problem. Then think about yourself if you can help him to fix this.. This is your relationship and don't let other people decide your future. Ask your hearth.
I hope the best for you..

Thanks everybody for your replies and sharing your opinions and experiences. Pretty much everybody made a good point and you are helping me with the decision-making process. I wish I could respond to every single post individually.
I think if I knew for sure that he cheated physically, I probably would have left right away.
Knowing how he ticks though, there is a great possibility that he only used these contacts for kicks/ as virtual turn-ons, kind of like porn, but did not act it out.
Still, even if he didn´t sleep with anyone, what he did was a form of cheating and there is no excuse. I was lonely too, but I stayed faithful. All I could think of is being with him and starting our new life.
I do think though that there is a difference between fantasizing and acting upon those fantasies. I think if he really didn´t have sex with anyone, there is a chance that I could work things out with him if he sought professional help. But how will I ever know what he did or did not do?!
It´s been over a week since I found out and I am still here. I did not want to leave out of haste with a decision made out of anger and shock. I just cannot accept that we invested so much time and effort into this just to give up easily. I think I need a little more time to figure out whether I want to stay or leave.
One other member suggested that I could use the remaining time of my visa and stay here and observe. His first counseling session is this coming week. He gave me permission to look through his computer and phone at any time. I want to see what efforts he will make to keep me here and fix this.
If I find out anything else or I realize that it´s too painful for me and my mind goes crazy with suspicious thoughts, I will leave.
Thanks again, guys.

There is just one G1145 that goes on the front of everything
You don't need "Copy of US LPR’s foreign birth certificate and Social Security Card ;"
For I-864EZ, you don't need "Copy of the front and back of Sponsor/US LPR’s permanent resident card;", "Copy of Sponsor/US LPR’s passport biographical page;", or "Copy of Sponsor/US LPR’s birth certificate and Social Security Card;"
Just one year's tax return is enough, unless there's a reason you think you need more.
"Copy of Intending immigrant’s foreign birth certificate;" is only needed for the I-485
"Copy of marriage certificate;" is only needed for the I-130
