BF wants to go to couples counciling .....

Sophia
Hey ladies! 
So I've been dating a guy for 6 months, and we've known each other 2 years. We both keep trying to make it work but keep running into obstacles and fights (the biggest being he cheated on our 'breaks'). 
He's shown before in our darker times he really wants this to work, for the long run. Which is why I stayed, because he's willing to work at it, and because I love him beyond what I thought was possible. 
So today, we got in a fight over text. He's always busy with classes (were both in college) or working out (because he's a sponsored athlete), and I got upset he doesn't make a bigger effort to check in. 
He messaged me this evening saying he wants to go to couples counciling in our university counciling center. Does this mean he wants to make it work, or he's trying to find a way out? Help, I'm stressing. Thanks!
