So, that conversation is a START. Real love in a real marriage is not hearts, unicorns and flowers year after year. It's often hard and unrewarding but if the core is there (that love you describe from both of you), then you put yourselves in there to fix it.
Now that you've set the stage, the next step is to get yourselves in for some marriage counseling and work on re-establishing intimacy. Don't become petty and push him away physically since that translates into isolating yourselves further physically.
Make it clear that you expect his participation and commitment to this or a divorce will be inevitable. But most of all, stay true to your own integrity and do not cheat. I can tell you from experience, it's really hard to look yourself in the mirror when you've crossed that line no matter how much you 'think' you're justified.
