I would cheat on him.
Well, this suggestion is now completely infeasible due to the existence of this thread, but couldn't the two of you hire a chaperone? There are a lot of cultures where there are many people who are used to the chaperone role. I think (albeit, with a bit of effort) you'd be able to find someone willing to spend 3 or 4 months hanging out in San Francisco on an unconventional but free vacation. Just offer them a sizable reward if they catch you. (There is even a fetishist scene from which you can acquire working chastity belts!)
Alternatively, just hire a "virtual personal assistant" to video chat with you once per hour and also go over a once per minute time-lapse film of you sleeping every day. IR sensitive webcams and IR LED lamps are pretty cheap. Even better, you can trade a favor with someone who handles the tech for the house arrest ankle bracelets.
Granted, none of this is foolproof. You're probably smart enough to circumvent any of these measures, but you'd have to make an active effort to do so. This takes an affair well out of the realm of circumstantial "temptation." (Though in your case, given your unusually poor impulse control, the temptation might increase because of the measures.)
EDIT: This gives me an idea for a product. Maybe call this something like "Watchdroid." It would be a battery operated remotely aimable webcam the size of a cell phone, connected over 3G.
