I relate to your difficulty. You can't stay mad forever, and you love him, but you are also devastated by your AH's relapse.
I know the wisdom is to stay on your side of the street, but I don't think that precludes you telling him honestly how you feel, and leaving it at that. It might help you stabilise your mood to get it out in the open. Use neutral language that relates to you own feelings and avoid blame. 'I feel ......because I remember back to when........ etc.
