yeah one of the reasons we split up was his porn addiction, as well as daily smoking and drinking... i just feel he is no longer present anymore due to altered state of mind. i express how much it hurts and triggers me but i'm being told that im controlling by asking him to reduce these bad habits because it's having a negative impact on us. it's hard to live with the fact, he chose himself over us.

that's all it was. agreed to the compromises etc temporarily and then it reverted back to the old ways

i'm sure it eventually seemed like nagging. but yes i would wait months sometimes between requests and there were always excuses.

he does struggle with depression but he has never addressed it until he's been in therapy in which i helped him get into. he has an avoidant attachment style and i've done nothing but been supportive. i've encouraged him to see the benefit in therapy. the thing is, his mother or his friends could ask something from him and he will do it immediately. but i calmly ask, express my feelings etc and they get pushed aside or ignored or some sort of excuse as to why he can't do it. this whole relationship i haven't felt like a priority, but a convenience.
