OK, so your mistrust of him specifically revolves around cheating. Although you do allude to him "mincing words" to gaslight you. Again, is that specifically around his relationships with other women? If so, then it's still part of the same broken trust.
If this is just trust over one issue, it doesn't make it any less damaging. It just means that you specifically can not trust him regarding other women.
You CAN (technically) trust him on everything else. AND, you CAN trust him to keep his pattern of cheating.
I understand that again, his chronic cheating could end up being a deal breaker for you. That said, what is it do you think he find alluring in cheating? Do you think it's the other women specifically or do you think it might have something to do with the thrill of risk?
