Not sure what to do

Hello all,
Me and my husband have not been married long (a little over a year).  We have a 7 month old son.  I will try to make the background brief.  
Before we were married we were having problems.  I found naked pictures of one of his friends on his phone.  This woman was much older than him and closer to his mom's age.  She was a family friend.  I just couldn't believe it.  Since then, they kept in contact - even though I was very verbal I did not like the fact they were still talking to each other.  His response when I found the pictures was I shouldn't have been looking through his phone.
Since then, he has talked to several other "friends".  Some of these girls live in his homestate of Ohio (8 hour drive away).  He would either delete the texts or lie to me about who he was talking to.  I would always find out later though.  When I was pregnant, he met up with one of his old "friends with benefits" and "hung out" at 2 am.  He says nothing happened, but how am I supposed to believe that.
To the present, a week after I had the baby, I found out he was talking to this girl from Ohio.  He had downloaded snapchat and they were sending pictures back and forth.  Now, there was no way I could see what the pictures were because the timing had expired.  I asked him to leave the house.  I told him he needed to get counseling before he could come home.  He did.  We have gone to counseling together for several months.  The counselor believes he has an impulse problem.
So, the other day I found an email in his "trash" bucket which was sent to another email of his (one he doesnt regularly use) of naked pictures of this girl sent to him on snapchat!!!  It is obvious he emailed them from his phone.  I confronted him about this and he initially tried to deny it.  I told him I wanted a divorce.  I am so sick of all this crap. Now he has come back and says he did screen shot the pictures, but it was ones she "accidentally" sent a long time ago and they keep showing up in his email.. Yea right.  I love him.  And I want to believe him.  But I absolutely don't.  Am I doing the right thing by leaving?  I just don't think I can take it anymore.  He has a serious problem and I have tried everything to help him.
Just FYI, I am not normally the type of person who goes through other people things.  I don't know why I initially did that particular day... it was something in my gut.  But since, EVERY time I went through his phone/email/etc, I would find something.

Hey, you've done all you can and you've been patient enough. Personally, I think you've exhausted all options, including counseling, so there's not much else you can do. I would likely file for divorce at this point too, if I was in your shoes.

Hi kepier, he's history.
      You have shown & proven that you do not have the tolerance for this type of behavior.  Period. File for divorce. Get a new life. Find if you want a new man & start a family.  My opinion this man will never make you happy.

     He doesn't have what it takes to be concerned about you & your baby's happiness. He'll never stop.    Sending love & healing to you. Pamela

Hi and really sorry what your going through. Just terrible to put you through this childish behavior. You were hoping he would change but has only gotton worse. At this point i would take a more aggressive direction taking control of your life and tell him how you feel and cant take this anymore and see what he says. It sounds like just silly childish stuff but am a bit concerned about him hanging out till 2am with that girl.
