Abusers rarely love. What they call "love" is possessiveness. It is far easier to control and possess children than adults - hence his preference. Children are more reliable and malleable sources of emotional gratification, attention, and adoration (narcissistic supply) than adults.

Obviously you don't really want to stay with your husband; why are you dating someone else, then? You have already stated he is abusive and you know someone who is able to take far better care of you. Accept the fact that your hussband is, for lack of better terms, a dangerous and unloving person. Divorce him and pursue the relationship with the other man, provided he is not married himself and would be accepting of the idea.

Can I wife restrict visitation rights if the husband cheated and then set up camp with a new woman and 2 young children?

No, & restricting visitation is actually an easy way to lose custody of the children. Hurt feelings & opinions are not laws & wives alone cannot decide when or if her children's father can see them. Cheating & getting into a new relationship do not make a man an unfit parent, & it isn't right for children to not be able to see their father simple because their mother doesn't like his new girlfriend or living situation. Unless the husband is physically or emotionally abusive & family court says the wife can & does have full custody, she cannot restrict visitation.
