I’ve been monogamous with my partner for 3 years, but I’ve always had a strong desire to have sex with other genders. What do I do in this case?

I've been dating my partner for 3 years now. For the past three years, I've committed to them exclusively, but my desire for other sex partners has never gone away. One of the main issues is that I'm bisexual and strongly desire to have sexual experiences with the other gender, which is something I would never be able to do for as long as I'm with my partner. But at the same time, my partner is so incredibly important to me, and I genuinely can't imagine my life without them right now.

I want my bisexuality to go away :( But even after repressing it for years, it's still there. And it hurts not being able to explore my sexuality or see other people to meet my sexual needs. But at the same time, my partner meets all of my emotional needs in a romantic partner, and they are truly my best friend and someone I can see myself loving for the rest of my life.

What do I do in this case? I'm so conflicted :( I would need to break up with them to explore myself, but I dread the idea of breaking up.

I want to be non-monogamous, but my partner of 3 years is strictly monogamous. I am so in love with them, but at the same time I have a strong desire to explore other partners. What do I do in this case?
