You already said this is long distance. You were the one who instigated this plan. Were you talking to her in the same manner as you usually do while you were in "disguise"? If yes, isn't that a proof that she likes your attitude and personality? You two met online. While online relationships work (I know real life friends who did this successfully), I think it is best to assume that before you meet each other face to face, you two are still considered OK to trial for other potential partners. Maybe she thinks that way.
Did you even talk about relationship guidelines before this? Everything should be out in the open, discussing what specifically defines "cheating" in your particular relationship, or how much time to spend with friends versus just as a couple alone. What one couple thinks is "cheating" is not always the same as another couple. Some are stricter. Some are more relaxed and OK with open relationships.
If you still want to try mending this relationship, tell her everything completely and honestly. Don't hide certain details or feelings. This is not a surefire way of fixing the relationship. In the end, she is the one to decide. But morally, this is one of the best. The other people who spoke before me also offer morally very sound advice.
