boyfriend obsessed with texting dirty to other women

Ive been with my boyfriend for just over a year now, i have never felt insecure in any of my past relationships but i always felt anxious with him for some reason (i think because he is so chatty and such a likeable person). But i caught him taking my name out of his relationship status on facebook and so i started questioning a whole lot more.. turns out he had messaged a few women on instagram direct sexually.. i raised it with him and was absolutely broken and he begged and begged for me back.. i had never seen such a broken man before, he was on his knees pleading for me to forgive him. I forgave him. He was making all the right changes and i thought things were going well.. but 2 weeks later a lady on facebook messaged me saying my boyfriend was messaging her on tinder sexually talking about her playing with herself and him also. He asked for her snapchat and he sent pictures of his downstairs region.
I had lost the plot at this point.. i raised it with him and he denied all the way, then finally after i told him i had proof of it, he finally admitted it. Again hes crying begging for me back. Weve not been together for two months but ive started texting him again. My heart just cant leave him. My dilemma is should i take him back again? Its hard because when its written down like this, its a bit black and white like yes leave the dick. But I am so in love with this boy and he has done so so much for me, we have so much history. Also does this really count as cheating? Im taking it as if he has slept with another woman but he hasnt. Hes admitted to me that before me, hed never been in a proper relationship, and when he texts other women on tinder its literally for 10 minutes whilst he plays with himself basically and then theyre deleted. Hes not interested in any other relationship. He says its like people who are addicted to pornography, he's always done it and is trying so hard to break it. We only get to see eachother twice a week and i refuse to talk sexually or send him pictures or anything over the phone so i suppose hes looking elsewhere to satisfy himself. Im not making excuses as such or being naive, i just really love him and want him in my life, so is it worth taking him back? And if so, how can i stop being so anxious and insecure in the relationship? Thanks girls. :)

A great update 👍🏻

Good for you @unknownn

He sounds very immature, does not know the meaning of respect for you, and basically no use to anyone, so don't know why you put up with all this.

Good for you @unknownn

So hard to leave someone who hurts you when you are in it. That's why people stay with addicts, support murderers, choose their partners over their kids etc. Love like that is so toxic but getting out is easier said than done.

Hope life is good for you now.

This is late but for anyone whose still interested in this topic - I stayed with a boy close to 8 years who had the same issue. He liked to talk dirty to random women. Hid me on social media. Actually caught him cheating a few times and he begged every single time. We were very young. I was 16, he 18 when we met. We eventually broke up and I married someone who loves and respects me and our relationship. I kick myself wondering why I stayed so long. But I was young and hopeful and naive. Anyway, he's also married but to a woman he originally cheated on me with. Let's just say he's doing to her what he did to me. He's always on these random sites talking to women. Onlyfans, omegle, snapchat, flingster, etc. Although he swore up and down his current wife is who he always loved blah blah blah, it seems as though he just has a sex addiction. He just can't help himself.. he's always trying to talk to some woman. Even talking to some men! But that's their problem.. I can't tell u how much I thank God for our breakup. Imagine dealing with that all the time? Oh and he has a baby on the way and still cheating on his wife 🙄 so, don't take the disrespect. Men like this never change
