Sat Siri Akaal. The worst thing you must be feeling is a sense of betrayal. I believe you should confront your husband on this, for the sake of making clear your distress. We cannot alleviate it for you online.
That said, he feels he needs a "Sant" in his life, for whatever reason. You cannot force him to stop, there is a karma involved, no doubt about it.
You yourself have said that you have utmost faith in guru and sangat. So pray. Chant the naam for yourself daily, if you can do so with sangat. Keep your practice as a Sikh. Read Sukhmani daily to calm your mind.
If you find it unbearable to live with this betrayal, then separation or divorce might be appropriate. But do not expect to CHANGE him. Only Guru can do that. Pray to Guru for guidance and strength, but don't ask Guru to CHANGE him, ask Guru to guide him to live his highest truth. Guru ang sang,
