Should I just end it before she goes?

Yes LD can work, but both people have to be pretty committed to making it work. If you're not ready to make that commitment or to settle down then obviously there's a much lower chance of it working out. Obviously if you're having a hard time remaining faithful and she hasn't even left yet it sounds like this relationship would be destined for failure even if she weren't leaving.
You pretty much answered your own question. Yeah, you should break up, it won't work for you because you don't want it.
Long distance is for idealists, romanticists and soldiers. It doesn't work.

This. LD can work, but it's extremely difficult, it's emotionally brutal, and ut requires absolute commitment. I'm not saying you need to go ring-shopping just yet, but if you don't seriously intend to marry this person one of these days, don't even try LD with them. Too much heartache for something that, without that kind of commitment, cannot work out.
No, long-distance doesn't work. It's impossible to have a functioning long-term relationship to someone who isn't there.
Long distance doesn't work unless you have the highest commitment towards it. That means flying over at least twice a month, constant talking, etc. parters in LD relationships can and will forget about eachother
Long distance rarely works, and when it does, it's emotionally draining and taxing for all parties involved. 5 months is doable; 4 years would be torture

5 months is fine. 4 years you should just go your separate ways. If you both really want to be with eachother after that it will work itself out.
