Caught in a Web of Deception: My Shocking Discovery

I met a guy, a few days later we started living together. A month later, some woman calls me and says, “I’m his wife! Who are you?” And I didn’t know he was married! I asked the lady, “What wife? We’ve been living together for a month!” She was shocked. Turns out… he’d been leading a double life.
She explained they’ve been married for years, with kids, and he’d told her he was on a business trip. I felt sick—had I been the other woman without knowing? I confronted him, and he admitted it, claiming he “loved us both” and didn’t know how to choose. I kicked him out, but now I’m left picking up the pieces. My trust is shattered, and I’m embarrassed for moving so fast. Should I contact her again to apologize or get more clarity?
What if he tries to come back? I’m worried about legal issues too—did I unknowingly break any laws? I need advice. Has anyone dealt with a partner hiding a whole family? How did you handle it? I’m lost and could use some guidance.
