It appears that you don't love him as much as you profess. Your confession crushed him. You knew it would crush him and you did it anyway. Love in a relationship means that to some degree you care more about your SO than you do about yourself. Not many people ever reach the purity of true love. BF obviously loves you more than you love him and in reality people in a relationship are rarely on equal footing in this regard. It may be that the relationship is over for you. However, a therapist will be better able to help you understand what you want. IMO several months with a therapist would be helpful. Not couples therapy. You go to therapy. Just my thoughts offered for your consideration. You are the decider. Best wishes.
That is not what I meant. Not using my kids for anything. It was more for the hope that they might change. Yes, I do have hesitations about being a parent. I don't have any good examples of what one looks like. But at the end of the day they are still my blood parents.

“If he doesn’t want to change and makes no effort to change and doesn’t admit he has a problem will me being patient make it go away?”
No.
He is a porn addict and if he will not help himself then you being patient will not help him either.
