You should move on.
You’re lucky.
Your boss doesn’t figure out a way to sue you.
Because I would.
You went behind your boss’s back.
And slept with his wife.
Then, you casually ask, “How do I get my job back?”
No one should help you.
But I do have some advice.
DO NOT MAKE THIS A HABIT.
You take your jobs seriously.
You’re there to make money.
And build your resume.
Become the professional you’re supposed to be.
If not, good riddance — creep.
Good luck.
Cheers.

You would never get the job back. You would start afresh in another place — a new region state or country. Get a job far away and you’ll have peace and maybe a future back.
Sleeping with a boss’s wife, no matter under what circumstances is never a tolerable or forgivable act. She might have sounded to you about all her troubles and sadness leading to you being attracted to her flirtatious and invitation to her bed eventually. But as an employee, you are expected to remain chaste and a complete gentleman especially when dealing with assets and people who have been openly declared committed to someone else.
Please do take this lesson well and give yourself new space and fresh air somewhere else. God bless!

Ok first of all, you don’t “get your job back”. It’s not YOUR job. it’s your bosses job and his to GIVE. That being said, explain to your boss the feelings of hatred and revenge that he is no doubt feeling towards you can never come to fruition unless he hires you back. That way he can make your life a living hell through the job. Guess who gets all the worst assignments? Guess who is the whipping boy when boss is in a bad mood? Guess who never gets promoted or gets a raise? Explain to him that your not loyal or to be trusted so it’s ok to watch you like a hawk. This way your boss gets the satisfaction of ruining your life like you did his and you get what you rightfully deserve. Other than this scenario, you probably have as much chance at getting your job back as I have becoming Queen Of Russia. (Yes I know I’m a man. Yes I know Russia isn’t a monarchy.)

What? You don’t want your job back. The situation is toxic anyway.
One shall not sleep with one’s boss’ spouse …
You are lucky you only lost your job … consider other much worse outcomes … I don’t know. How about your boss gets angry, grabs a gun and start shooting?
Get a new job, move on, and try to keep your pants on! I am serious – considering you did not get bet up or shot at – which is very possible if you try this again with a new boss.

I presume you were aware of the likely consequences before the act…hence, your assumption then, now your REALITY!
Please tap yourself, wake up and face the fact, YOU’VE CROSSED THE LINE… no going back…just move on.
And better wish you don’t break their home, however, pray for peace, as your ex-boss might still come after you, soon as he is done with his wife.
I simply don’t think you can have that job back and should he even offer you back, to your own good decline and move on.
You betrayed the trust of that intimacy, think if it happened to you, what would you reactios be.
You need a reasoning.
Have a good life!

You don’t. You already lost his trust and seem to have difficulty understanding boundaries. Probably, you are just here bragging. I wouldn’t hire you and I doubt anyone else would, either. There is no excuse for that behavior whatsoever.

This is a joke right?
Some mistakes are not recoverable. Sleeping with the boss’ wife is damned near the top of the list.
Update the resume and learn from your mistakes.
