Good point Cynay... you all had 9 months together with him sober. My question is if he was really sober for 5 years prior to your relationship what happened that he chose to go back out and use? Was he really sober for that long or was that an embellishment he told you to make you feel better about dating an addict? Addicts can be very good liars and manipulators.
To stay or to go will be entirely up to what you know you can handle. If you are working harder at your program than he is at his you can be sure he's probably not done using yet. The best support you can be for him now is to stand out of his way and let him handle his addiction and get back on track. He may not be able to do that so easily now. So this can go either way and its completely his choice as to whether he can maintain sobriety or not. Your relationship with him will not look the same as it did when you first met especially if he was not completely honest with you about his recovery time. Do what is best for you and don't worry about how it will affect him...he has his own road to go down and it might be the wrong road for you and your son. Good luck.
