It depends do you want to keep sharing your "girlfriend" well it's now turned into a FWBs, with everyone? If you wish to be with her then you don't really have a choice. But you would be settling for less than what you want. At 33 you're probably wanting to settle, have a family etc. With her, she's not looking for commitment, much less monogamy. 27 years old this isn't a "phase" she's going through, in fact at her age she should be finished with all the partying, and sleeping with a different guy every night.
Even if you tried to stay with her in this open relationship, your jealousy will get the best of you. She can't give you the commitment you want, it's time to let it go for good.

I think this shows just how flawed your relationship really is. You've been on/off for years, you've tried to live together and that failed, you claim to love each other but she wants to sleep with others etc.
Basically, she's not into this at all. I think to her you're Mr Convenient, rather than Mr Right. There's a high chance she's already having sex with other men, and I would bet everything that she'll have sex with this 'friend' she'll be seeing this weekend.
Face facts, my man, she's not into you. You'd do better to permanently end it and find a more suitable woman who will actually commit.
