Well It sounds as if you are putting some of the blame on yourself. When you said it was your fault for looking at his profile. Let's be honest, you looked because you wanted to KNOW not just have faith that you could trust him again. You deserve to KNOW and your transgression of violating his privacy is no where near as bad as him violating the sanctity of your relationship. Yes you violated his trust too but to a much lesser degree.
It also seems... you are in a state of paranoia within your relationship and he has given you every reason to be that way. Now, the hurt fades depending on how the person takes the infidelity. It seems like you're on edge (for good reason) with the constant cheating have a cloud over your head. His cheating is going to eat you alive for as long as your with him. Don't get me wrong I have known people that stay together after but that is because it happened only once and they didn't have to carry on their shoulders like you do.
For your sanity I would try and prevent any further pain.

It may take a long time before the hurt fades, it all depends on the situation. When do you think you could REALLY trust him again? When he gains your trust back completely, you will probably be able to move on from there.
If it were me, that hurt would never go away. I could never trust someone again after it is broken and would have never given him another chance, NEVER!
But since you are different and really want this to work, he is the one that is going to have to prove to you that he can be trusted. And once you feel that he hears you and understands just how much he hurt you and proves he can be trusted, then you will be able to move on.
In these situations, you have to play fair. You cant hold this against him forever and he has to be willing to prove his trustworthiness. Time will only tell on this one.
