What should I do, my husband is always lying and unfaithful,, I’ve filed for divorce,, we will be divorced next month,, but I still question if I’m doing the right thing?

  I’m sorry to hear that. I would suggest doing marriage counseling before finalizing the divorce. I’ve been able to help many couples on the brink of divorce Alhamdulillah. http://Www.halehbanani.com
