Then do the honorable thing and break up with your boyfriend....spare him a cheating girlfriend
so SAM is more open then your boyfriend, she brought the freak out of you, its OK because a lot of women feel the same way.
I was in a similar situation. I was cheating on my gf with an old fling. She got in contact with me after me and my gf had a huge fight. It was weird timing and unexpected tbh. I was in a weird, very emotional mood, and a bit angry at my gf that day. We chatted via FB for a while and the chatting led to flirting, and then she invited me to her place for a sleepover. I just figured it would be a one-night stand but, I kept it going for quite some time. I was seeing this girl once a week, sometimes twice a week. I think she had an idea that I was in a relationship, but, she never questioned me on it at first. She eventually asked me some time after, but i answered vaguely and with a ton of smoke and mirrors; i felt bad about lying to her,though. My buddy told me that fooling around with an ex was dangerous, but, i simply dated this girl in the past, it wasnt a long-term thing. The sex was great, adventurous, and it actually caused me and my gf to become more intimate, which my gf enjoyed. The hookups lasted about 6 months, and came to an end due to me finally screwing up. I had the girl at my place sparingly, and usually did a good job of cleaning up the place afterwards. I messed up once and forgot to put my gfs bathrrom goods back in place...she found them stashed underneath the sink and presented me with the package...I got out of it(quick thinking), but I could tell she was only about 80% convinced. She never snooped on me, checked my phone, or anything like that but after that event, she was acting pretty suspicious. I abstained from sex with this other girl for a month, but resumed when things seemed to calm down. The last screw up was when the other girl spotted me shopping with my gf. I hooked up with her the night before, so, it was awkward when she called me out on it(through a text). Being a "nice" guy, i told her the truth. She wasnt mad, but she definitely wasnt impressed with my behaviour. It ended there as she never replied to any of my texts afterwards.
It was selfish, and I wasnt proud of it, but I did enjoy it for what it was. I am not a player, womanizer, nor do i have game, so i guess the attention i got from this girl was a bit of an ego boost. She also did things with me sexually that my gf would never do and I was able to do some things that I wanted to do but couldnt with my gf. Some times, when i had a "free" weekend me and this other girl would spend it in bed...i looked forward to those.
I love my gf and cant complain about our relationship, but this other girl fulfilled some of my needs and desires sexually. I cant confess this to my gf as I know she despises infidelity, and would leave if she had any proof I even flirted with another girl. She caught her ex with another girl and it hurt her immensely.
I knew it wouldnt last as long as i would have liked it to, but i enjoyed it, and made sure to make the most of it while it lasted.
What you are doing isnt a "bad" thing, as u have an obvious sexual connection with SAM,but, its best to keep it hidden from your partner. You can still be a good gf, as i am a good bf, but the worst thing is the damage that comes from them finding out IMO.
