If you weren't there when he needed your support, you don't deserve to be there when he's better.

Being addicted to porn isn't a whole lot different than being addicted to substances. The mental part gets you "high". I myself am a porn addict, which is just one level of sex addiction. I'd be very skeptical of him saying "he's cured". Alcoholics don't just get better, it's a challenge to retain one's sobriety. He isn't just magically fixed

Once an addict, always one.

No, he did not betray shit.

Everyone got issues in their life. I am willing to bet anything that you didn't tell him everything about you either.

An active addiction is not something that has to casually come up a year into a relationship. Are you feeling a little attacked, is that the reason for your unreasonable and aggressive response?

It sounds like you didnt react in a particularly ideal way to him confiding something in you, and you clearly betrayed his trust by telling others.

It sounds like he has taken steps to improve himself when he was struggling with something. I would suggest you do the same.

If I were him, I imagine I'd feel pretty betrayed by your reactions and would struggle to trust you again, but maybe if he loves you he will be prepared to forgive you. Either way, discussing how you handled it with a therapist might be beneficial to you/ both of you.
