Define committed relationship.
Years ago I had 2 regular women and a lot of irregular ones. One lived in New York and the other in Arizona. Both had jobs, and supported themselves. Both knew that I was not going to settle down with them. When I was headed towards 1 of them, I would let her know and I would stay with her, whether just 1 night or several days. We would go out, do things, have sex and behave like a couple. When I left, they went back to their normal lives. My commitment to each was to give them whatever time I had available while I was there. They committed to the same thing. While I was away we kept in contact.
If I was in a conversation with someone and the subject came up, I might refer to them in different ways. The most respectful way, would be as "a girlfriend. ".
Girlfriend is an easy to understand label. It is somewhat ambiguous. It doesn't tell you whether or not we live together, or even if we have sex. However, it does tell you that we are together, on some level. Fuck buddy is disrespectful, often unacceptable, depending on the company. Friend with benefits is awkward. Just calling her a friend says there's no romantic connection. Girlfriend, is the easiest understood and accurate term.
This is another situation where you don't get to make the rules. You're welcome to refer to anyone however you see fit. I'll give you an example. Just a few days ago a guy I worked with remarked that another guy was an asshole. I responded that I thought he was a nice guy. No argument. He's welcome to his opinion, I'm welcome to mine.
All of this could be over and done with in an instant. For some obscure reason you constantly want to judge almost everyone on their morality, terminology, choice of women, methods of finding women, age and a long list of other things which don't pertain to you. Let it go.

I'll give you a hypothetical situation to ponder. Let's say you have a daughter, who marries me. I know. The mere thought nearly causes your head to explode. She is extremely happy with me and she is well provided for. I always treat her with respect and kindness. I also treat you and everyone else in your family with respect. Other than the fact that it's me, I'm the perfect son-in-law. We have a couple of kids and everything remains happily ever after. Then one day you learn that a few times a year, when I'm away for business, I fuck an escort.
What do you do? Do you rush off and tell your daughter, destroying her happiness, breaking up the family, putting the children through a divorce? Do you risk alienating your daughter, possibly even removing your grandchildren from your life? Do you talk to me about it? What tone do you take? Think before you respond.
Just so you understand, I don't allow anyone to decide how I'm supposed to live my life. Whether it's what I do for a living, who I fuck, who I vote for, what I eat or where I go, those decisions are mine and mine alone. I would hope you live by the same credo.

This is going to be a complicated, respectful discussion on the subject.
I'm going to first go over some niche examples. Until around the 7th week of development embryos have no gender. They are neither male nor female. The primary sexual characteristics begin to form after that. However, there is a rare condition where both genders develop. The result is a person of ambiguous gender. Look up hermaphroditism. There is another rare condition in which primary sexual characteristics don't develop until puberty. A child who was listed as female at birth will, during puberty, develop a penis and testicles, or a boy will develop a vagina.
Next up, the existence of primary sexual characteristics is, at most, 33% of gender. The next third is determined by chromosomes. Normally females have XX chromosomes and males have XY. Some males have an extra why Chromosome and some females only have a single X. There's also a condition where a child has XXY chromosomes. This condition can result in abnormally small penis and testicles and the development of breasts, along with reduced body hair. If you saw such a person, you might believe they are female when their chromosomal sex is male.
The final component are the hormones. Generally, the second X chromosome causes the body to produce estrogen. The why chromosome causes testosterone to be produced. However, it doesn't always work that way. Some women's bodies produce male levels of testosterone, while some men have very low testosterone levels and very high estrogen levels. This can also affect appearance. It's quite easy to mistakenly identify the gender.
Gender is not always a simple dick check.
Now briefly, to touch on gender identity. Remember that boy in school who seemed more like a girl? Or the girl who looked and acted more like a boy? This is nothing new. Those are examples of very young children who didn't identify with their physical gender. I can think of a few examples from my childhood. . One committed suicide because neither he (or she) nor his family could deal with the disparity. Another got married, had a couple of kids, then got divorced and married a man. He's now happy, productive and very successful.
Personally, it doesn't matter to me. Does it help the person live a happy and productive life? Why would I argue in favor of their unhappiness over a pronoun?

My opinion is that human socialization has advanced beyond human evolution. We're still animals struggling to use the frontal lobes which differentiate us from the other primates. Our culture tells us to behave in certain ways, but our instincts pull us in different directions. Instincts which drive us are simple, self-preservation and preservation of the species. In the simplest terms our instincts tell us to stay alive and have sex.
Socialization tells us that our instincts are wrong. We should limit sex and we should be willing to give up our lives to protect others. We should allow others to make the rules which are often in conflict with our instincts.
Those are just points to ponder. To answer your question, being part of a larger group improves your chances for survival. People who increase your chances for survival, friends you can depend upon, are connected to you by a real bond, a bond formed by your survival instinct. This is true whether they are male or female, whether they are a friend or a partner. Friendship is a real relationship. That is why I keep saying lasting relationships are built through mutual respect and shared experiences.

Is your behavior of fucking prostitutes normal? Would you detail your exploits to family and friends during the time you spend with them?
If you cannot not, then maybe you should reexamine your position. No, actually you do not as it is your just your opinion.

So what if it is called cheating? How does that affect you? Maybe some people have a tolerance for cheating. Maybe it is not cheating to them. Maybe they don't give a fuck one way or the other. Glad to see someone (you) cares though. I guess.
I guess Adam 22's wife is not his wife since they both fuck other people. And according to Dummy #1, if his daughter went out with a guy like him then he would have a heart attack. Some people realize their kids are grown and have the freedom to do as they please, while others do not even realize that complete strangers are grown and try to shame them out of the things they choose to do.

I believe that a grown person telling another grown person how to conduct themselves through your personal lense is NOT acceptable.
