Elly: For what it's worth, we've all tried the long distance relationship thing. I will admit yours is extreme, however.
Of course, the possibility always exists that he's cheating. That possibility exists in any relationship.
Obviously, it's up to you if you want to see other people during the time you're apart. I can tell you that you will probably find someone else if you start doing that. Most long-distance relationships end up that way.
I would only encourage you to be honest and let him know if you decide to begin seeing other people. That's just the proper thing to do. When we deceive people, it leaves a scar on us. That makes future relationships harder.
It would be cruel if he did wait all that time on you just to find out you've been seeing other people. You need to give him that same right if you want to see other people. You aren't' married, and you do have every right to do that.
