I never cheated. I think it's wrong if the relationship is great. But, after being in a LTR for 2 years again, I feel the need to bang other chicks. Now, I don't want advice if and how I should do it, but I had an discussion with a friend about it.

I love my girl. But, yeah, she is kind of boring. I'm still relatively happy with her, and want to keep this going or up the happiness.

Hypothetical situation:

If I don't cheat, the LTR slowly gets more boring, we would fight, and eventually split up cause I would not be happy.

If I cheat, it would fulfill my need for some secret and dirty action, would make me happy overall and this would stabilize the relationship to my LTR.

So, hypothetically, is it better to cheat to keep us both happy in the relationship (of course, only if she doesn't know it), or to stand by principles and let it slowly die off?

Now I know, most of you would say: break up, plate as many girls as possible, and be happy. But as I said before, I love her. Though that does not mean that I don't want to fuck other girls.

Are cheaters here? What's your story?
