If a text message is all you got - your gonna need a little more proof than that. Even if the text specifically refers to sexual activity you will still want to collect more evidence and not put all your eggs in one basket. As to what you can do, there are literally thousands of choices. I'd would recommend you not chose illegal options - as tempting and deserving as they may seem. However, even if you limit it to just the things you can legally do, there is not enough room here to list all your options but the basics are to file for a divorce from bed and board if you want to try and force her out of the marital home and if the man has any assets you can look into filing a suit against him for criminal conversation (not what it sounds like) and / or alienation of affection. Finally, you can also seek an unequal distribution of your marital property in your favor.
