Let me get this straight. You two were “dating” until August? As in, no one confirmed the relationship was exclusive? This only took place in August. And prior to it being the dating phase, he was with another woman?
If this is the case and nothing was confirmed to be exclusive when he was with the other woman, then I would say it’s fine.
If you thought it was exclusive from what was said and he still did that, then he’s bad news.

Like before you’re exclusive? Yes. Though that can’t be considered cheating because you’re not even together.
You guys really ought to have a conversation about what you consider acceptable and not while you’re apart.
Nope, cheating in any stage of the relationship is not acceptable
Move on. His actions speak fundamentally to character. Whatever you try to do to rationalize this, here is his thought process: he made a commitment to you, but figured he could get away with being unfaithful so grabbed the opportunity. He's also keeping his options open by remaining in contact with her. He'll do it again, either with her or somebody else. Don't waste your time with this loser.
Ask him about the purpose of the messaging and why he saw her. That doesn't necessarily mean he cheated, and, either way, you have a right to know what happened.

I don't think it's acceptable to continue seeing someone else when your official, that's the point of being official. especially you said you found out, which means he wasn't honest and straightforward about it. Out he goes because you deserve better
Cheating is bad, seeing someone of the opposite sex behind the back of your s. o. is bad behavior. Is he actually cheating and having a sexual relationship with her only her and he knows. But I would suspect it. If you can not trust that person to be faithful to you then they are not good for your relationship. So I would say confront them, or just move on.
Cheating at any time in a serious relationship is not acceptable, long distance or not. If he wanted to screw around then he should have made that clear to you so you would know that it's not committed. Personally I'd end it
Break up with him. Once a cheater , always a cheater. Cheating is never acceptable, you deserve better.
You should go to doctor and check for the STD's. So get well and don't mess with the crazy cocky people any more.
Tell him you know and ask him for explanation and if you don't mind his response okay if you don't like it move on
Cheating is always bad. But dating another person before you made it official is not cheating. So if he's dating another girl now when you are officially together the dump him
If you guys are exclusive, it's cheating. If it's casual, no. Talk to your man. Every relationship has special rules, he might even be a swinger.
cheating at anytime in any relationship is not ok. ditch him and find someone new, else don't be surprised when it happens again.
You are not that invested in him to ignore that. Move on.. find someone else.
Talk to him. if true then break up. there is no other way. it will only embitter the relationship later. sooner the better
Nope, Never ok. It's been just six months, he is definitely not in you and looking to leave you soon!
And this is why long distance relationships don't work.
No it's never acceptable, forgivable maybe but never acceptable
Cheating is bad, i mean if you're not happy then just break up.
If it's before it was officially it's not cheating bit after being official dump him and move on
Cut him, unless you had previous openness about it
Dump his ass. Cheaters don't deserve you.
Cheating is not ok period
Cheating ruins the game.
