 I'm sorry in advance as this is not what you are going to want to hear but I honestly do not think that your relationship is strong enough to last 6 years long distance. You will be entering a new area of your life going off to college and having new experiences and plus there will always be that doubt in the back of your mind asking yourself is he being faithful to you and does he still think of you. He has cheated in the past and has hurt you and I really dont think that long distance will work because of the way he has behaved. Yes he says now he loves you and wants to be with you because he realises that you are leaving.
Is it possible for him to move with you? Or maybe follow you in a year or 2? If you are really serious about the relationship the only way that you can both make it work is to work hard, keep in contact fairly regular and make the effort to visit each other frequently.

 6 years is a very long time. And you'll only be able to see him once every year or two? There aren't many people who can make a relationship like that work. You should decide what is more important to you, your career/school or this guy?
