Hi Lucy,
I’m amazed your boyfriend hasn’t broken up with you yet. (I’m not saying that in a judging way!) If you break up, it might actually be a relief! Then you can begin to look at yourself honestly, with fewer distractions.
Then see a therapist. Not so you can stop cheating, more so you know WHY you’re cheating.
Is it really because of your parents? Were you not that into your boyfriend and weren’t being honest with yourself? Are you a highly sexual person? Are you afraid of saying “No” in words AND deeds?
Concerning Monogamy: “Just because you’re a vegetarian, doesn’t mean bacon doesn’t smell good”!
Maybe have an open relationship next time.
Best,
Inky
