My boyfriend has this same issue and yes sometimes it is miserable. He has been addicted to everything you can think of and it has gotten him into some major trouble. He's working on it and i can see a difference in him as well as our relationship. He's getting his priorities straight, but its not an overnight fix. And it never completely goes away.
Each of you need to put in as much as the other in your relationship. You both have to realize that it isnt easy on either one of you. Talk to eachother about how you feel. Dont hold it in because you will find yourself having the same arguments over and over getting worse everytime. Tell him you're still hurting and ask what he plans on doing to make sure this time around it doesnt end the same and hold him accountable to it.
Addictive personalities are inherited. Chances are his dad was addicted to something, whether it be porn, drugs, alcohol, food or whatever. See if you can find out how his dad may have coped from his addiction. Find something positive he can get involved with or addicted to, maybe excersize or church or a hobby of some sort.
