I'm gonna be blunt because I'm tired of people feeding the drama.
Be fucking responsible, both of you.
simivin, accept that whether your behavior with Beth/Sarah seems reasonable to you, it seems over the line to your girlfriend. If you're interested in a relationship with your girlfriend, do what it takes to make it work. Accept that some aspects of your relationship with Beth/Sarah threaten Cheerycheeks, and just deal. Don't defend yourself, don't justify it, just accept that that's the way it is. You do X, she feels Y. Quit expecting Cheery to change her feelings, and just stop doing X. (Where X is, say, freakdancing with a girl who has intimate conversations with you and may or may not want to sleep with you.)
Now, the paradox:
Cheerycheeks, be responsible for your own feelings. You're looking for the cheating and the lying and the breach of trust, and *surprise* you find it everywhere. Simivin says there's nothing to the relationship with Beth/Sarah, and you don't believe him. Sure you have evidence: YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IT! You're not interested in what's true, you're interested in how things might end up with you hurt. That's not the way to have a relationship that works. These things have a funny way of turning out to be self-fulfilling prophecies: you're (rationally or irrationally) jealous, he feels hurt and *surprise* turns to the understanding long-term friend, which provides you more evidence, which makes you more hurt and jealous, which pisses him off, which drives him further away, and VOILA! You break up and gosh, if you weren't right all along. Only you don't see your role in the causal chain. You only see him betraying your trust.
If you're both 100% responsible, this will work. If you can't do that, either accept that this relationship is going to look exactly the way it does, and see if you can live with that.
