I hate to be the one who says break if off, but have you considered breaking it off entirely? Blocking his number on your phone, having absolutely no further contact with him?
I mean, what he did, that's pretty dramatic. I agree with you that it's infidelity. I know some people can overcome an incident of infidelity, but as you said, with your traumatic past, it has hit you very hard.
If he won't respect your need for boundaries, you may need to enforce them yourself. You can tell him, I need to not have contact with you AT ALL for a while, and block his number so he can't get to you.
I think having a complete period, like 3 months, of no contact with him may be good for you. You can suss out how you truly feel and if you want to move forward with the relationship.
Good luck,
