Default Long Distance Problems

My boyfriend and I are in a LDR and have been on and off for the past 15 months. He lives in Florida and I in Minnesota. The second we got into this relationship, we knew it would be hard work to keep it going. I was watching one of the Dan and Jenn videos on Youtube on Long Distance Relationships and identified personally with what was said about needing a physical aspect of a relationship. My boyfriend and I have had many arguements about this very topic. I have especially had problems with this distance because I am someone who needs to be held and touched and kissed. We have talked about me moving to be closer to him, but eventually the conversation will die out. I have often wondered if this relationship is right for me, but I can definitely picture myself marrying and having a family with this man. I don't know if he feels the same way about me.
I revolve my life around a phone call every night from him, and my friends all tell me that this isn't healthy. I have found out that he has 'cheated' on me several times with my friends. This was over the Internet where he had cyber sex with these girls. I cannot list all the problems he and I have had over the past 15 months, but one thing remains the same: I love him and I keep going back to him for that reason.
My question is do you think that I should give up on this relationship and look for something more fulfilling or should I wait until this distance gap is closed with my current boyfriend.
Any responses would be appreciated.

There are so many red flags here it boggles me that you are even asking for advice. This man does not respect you, he wont communicate with you about his intentions which are pretty important in a LDR. In the LDR communication is the key since you are geographically removed from each other. He has cyber sex with your friends? Lose him and the girls, they are not your friends. Friends are people we can trust and needless to say that you should be able to trust your b/f. Why would you love someone like this. How does it feel not getting what you need in the relationship (hugs and kisses, affection) and then to be cheated on. Pull the plug on this one and save yourself before it is too late. Do not relocate for him because it will be a painful return to Minn.
