The fact that you've now discovered long after the divorce that he was unfaithful is not grounds for avoiding your duties under the divorce agreement. The agreement probably says that each of you is waiving any "fault" grounds for divorce and that it is based upon separation. As far as what you did afterward regarding his house, if that was not part of the agreement and you were doing it voluntarily, you should have tried to negotiate a change in the agreement regarding the house proceeds at the time.
