Hi all,

long time lurker, created a new account just for this question. Am basically in a stable relationship (its 2 years soon) and I'm dating other girls besides my GF, because, you know, keep your irons at the firepit.

I'm questioning myself if I'm following the RP rules by this, or if I'm just a cheating scum. I've never cheated on anyone before because I had a mentally abusive and manupilative girlfriend, which hold me at the beta bux status. Now I want to break free and move on, problem here is that I already got a nice GF, which gives me sex and don't bitch around, I'm still not satisfied with "my love life". My plan was or is to play the dread game by working out, seeing others which doesn't involve my GF, keep frame. This was in the begining of everything. I'm now a few steps further where I see and date another girl, which is.. nice and sexy, but nothing else. There won't be any emotional relations between me and her, at least not from my side.

I want to explore other woman, I mean, I'm just in my early twenties. Im curious. I'm unexperienced.

So I'm asking the brave lords of TRP, am I just a cheater or do I follow basic RP rules? I feel like I'm way out of scope and what I actually do is BAD. I'm not sure how I should feel about all this. Also, I don't want to leave my beautiful GF, she's nice to me. Its nothing personal, I just want to gain more experience, but as stated earlier, I'm absolutely not sure if this is the correct way to do so. I'm not posting to /r/relationship because those are just some beta noobs posting about how great woman are and that doesn't match my point of view in general.

Please advice if I should stop dating the other girls or how I should move on from here. Again, leaving anyone isn't really an option for me right now.
