TRISTE ET SEUL

I've been in a relationship for about a year now, and for the past 2 months I keep finding things about my boyfriend, that all point to him cheating on me, and when I ask him he comes up w/ logical excuses that actually make sense. I am a little tired of the excuses and I am not sure if I should believe him or should I just leave him already?
Let me elaborate a little more on my situation. I met this a guy a little over a year ago,I was married at the time and he "swept me off my feet" per say.I ended up leaving my husband for him. I have kids and he has kids too.We fell in love right away and moved in together after 3 months into the relationship.
He does a lot for me and I recognize this, he puts up w/ a lot of my crap. I came from an abusive relationship, so every time we fight, I feel that a physical fight is going to happen. Now that I realize that I try to control my temper and stay away from getting physical.
I had heard things from his ex that he was always cheating on her, and then like a week later I heard that he had cheated on me, although he said that it wasn't true I let it go and tried to move on. He is a very busy guy and a well known guy.He receives a lot of phone calls and has to do a lot of running around.I try to understand that and get over it. Today he received a text on his phone from some girl that he started seeing one time that we broke up. But he claims that it had nothing to do with him trying to be w/ her, it was work related.
It is not about me believing him or not, nor is it about him cheating on me. It is about the fact that now I have it in my head that he is a cheater and or a lier, and although I know that he provides for me and my family very well, besides all this drama, he is good to me. I just feel that the relationship is damaged, I don't trust him nor beilieve him, and now he is going to feel like, because I don't trust him I am going to cheat on him to get him back. Any advice, anyone?
