My boyfriend lied about moving states away...

Due to some family issues and major trust issues, my boyfriend decided to "test" our relationship and pretended that he lived states away from me for 8 months, "flying" home a couple of weekends a month. He has always treated me with respect and is kind to others, and I never saw this coming. I told him that he needs to seek counseling for the unresolved issues that led him to be so distrustful of me. I broke up with him once and dated someone else because I didn't feel like his feelings for me were strong, but never cheated on him so I don't feel like that's grounds for not trusting me because we weren't serious at the time and I didn't think he even cared all that much about the breakup. I don't know where to go from here. He says he wants a life with me and wants to marry me but was very defensive about his big lie even though he said he was wrong. What do I do?
