Has any of you recovered from this able? Will we recover?

I have been on and off with him for 17 months. We love each other i think. However we broke up because we fight a lot. I mean a lot especially if we drink. We broke up and during the 2 months apart he started dating. I got back in touch with him and he told me he was dating. I stayed around anyway hoping he'd eventually choose me. A month ago I realised that he had started seeing someone regularly and that the thing was getting serious. I ask lots of questions and got him to tell me a lot about that relationship. We have a strong connection and he trusts me. I kept sleeping with him hoping he'd pick me. But he wasn't giving up on the other woman. He said he saw a future for them but wasn't letting me go either. I couldn't cope any more so I found the other woman and got in touch. I told her I was still involved and that he was lying to her. That woman had no idea. She broke up with him immediately and said to me she was sorry. I feel sorry for her too she seemed very nice. He blocked me right away and was furious that day I contacted her. He texted me that I was manipulative and evil, that I got him to open up to me and use that information against him and her. I was in despair. I can't cope when he's angry with me. Eventually I went to see him and we spoke a lot and we kind of went forward from there. I think what we have is special. What do you think is the chance this will work?? Tell me honestly maybe some of you have been in a similar situation. Thank you
