It sounds like you value your relationship to a certain extent, but you are not demonstrating any respect for your relationship by sleeping with other women. If you believe you and your girlfriend are meant to be long term partners, you need to be honest with her. Any amount of pain that she would incur by you making a decision to live out your youth would be horribly intensified if she found out you were sleeping around. It's important to think about the message you want to send her. Respect what you have now, if you have to make decisions that will hurt her, the least you can do is honor the truth. In case this isn't obvious, I am in a similar situation, but on the other side.
