I'm in a 5 year LTR. It's (surprisingly) going great. My frame is rock solid, shit tests are skillfully destroyed, I sprinkle some dread game if it comes to it and I make her feel appreciated and secure. To be clear, I've had several years of experience with TRP-esque ideas, PUA, etc. It's been almost a decade since I've left my beta days behind.
About her: 6 years younger. Has had 2 sexual partners in the past (both LTRs) and never had casual sex. I seriously doubted this at first but just judging from her character I actually believe it. Also she's a HB7 (small tits, average in terms of bodyfat but great face and ass which is honestly what's most important to me). I've had way hotter but I decided to stick with a 7 so that her hypergamy needs are met. (It seems to me this worked perfectly because she couldn't be any happier.)
Things are going great and I expect to stay in this LTR and possibly have kids with her (always wanted kids). Even after all this time and happiness I still don't have oneitis. I also 1. don't want it and 2. won't ever get it. It's impossible for me to get oneitis at this point. I've seen what women are capable of, I'm fully aware that their biological imperatives are inherently contradictory to real love. Her endless happiness and love for me is 100% conditional.
Anyway, introducing my issue: while I'm working my ass off to satisfy her biological needs by staying on my toes 24/7/365 and creating the illusion of a Chad McThundercock + security, I'm completely ignoring my natural sexual strategy which is to have sex with as many women as I can.
I've worked really hard, fellas. really. fucking. hard I've been lifting now for 5 years, I've worked my ass off into a career that pays me very well ($120K/yr), I take care of my hair, skin, clothes, etc. I'd say I'm a 9/10. If I had never swallowed the pill I'd be a 4/10. The point is I've put in a ton of effort to get where I am and I'm ignoring my biological needs to address hers.
I'm looking for someone who could provide insight. As Rollo said "Men are the romantics forced to be the realists, while women are the realists using romanticisms to effect their imperatives (hypergamy)." I've become a realist. It's deeply ingrained in who I am now and how I perceive the world. I can't be a romantic anymore. It's not in me. It was removed long ago along with my pushover beta days. Rollo says the natural state of a man is to love for the sake of loving but they're forced to be realists. Now that I'm a realist, I don't really have any love left in me which is straining my ability to stay loyal to her and not sleep around. Why should I stay loyal to someone who is inherently incapable of love? If I slip up and the opportunity arises, her hypergamy will kick in and I'll be out the door in record time. If I'm satisfying her biological needs, why do I have to ignore mine? Is this simply an extension of the "women are children" thing? Like real children, you have to bite the bullet on the stupid shit they do and sacrifice your time and energy? Is this part of the bigger sacrifice?
I haven't cheated yet because I need to deal with this philosophically first. Logistically speaking, it's very easy to do and it'll be almost impossible for me to get caught.
Thanks
