no, it is not pathetic
an EB is a relationship between two people, obviously you both can have different perspectives on what that is, but it's still a relationship at a basic level, even if it's just
>"hey let's do this for the items and cause we're bros"
as for the ERP part, that's not pathetic to take seriously either, when you ERP you are essentially spending personal quality time cooperatively writing erotica with each other, in real life if someone spent "personal quality time cooperatively jerking each other off" most people would consider that cheating
obviously it's different since it's online, but that goes back to discussing with your partner what the boundaries are, some people are totally okay with their partner ERPing because they know they get to fuck them IRL
