There are a lot of things which make this relationship a hell of a lot of work. You have a long distance so you rarely meet, yet he manages to go out with his friends 4 times a week.
You've already broken up with him once too, over him going behind your back with other girls and lying about it.
There is no, one thing you can do to build up trust again, it takes time and effort, it can take a long time too.
You have to decide whether he's really worth all this work. If you want to stick with him then he has make sure he's open and honest with you about the things he's doing.
If I were in your situation though I'd move on. Lying is cheating in my book, especially when it concerns romancing others behind my back.
He made a promise to you and he broke it, I bet he 'promised' he'd never do it again too but you just can't be sure. Mistakes happen but a broken promise is not a mistake. To me a person is only as good as their word, if they break promises then they can't be trusted.

i have had a relationship like this and they have never worked out. You are quite young. What exactly do you want out of a relationship and can he provide this? Ask him house he feels about the distance and if he thinks it can carry on. I would just be friends with him for now but thats my opinion. You may find someone else you like who lives closer and is really nice and you may miss out. :)
