The fact remains that many sp's would not consider working in this industry when they are trying to nurture a primary love relationship. So getting into a relationship means the sp needs to give up her whole lifestyle and change everything to be with her new man. A new job, less income and working more hours is not easy to get used to. If he is wealthy enough to support her, this may seem fine to start, but with the power in the relationship totally off-balance will inevitably very likely cause issues.
That may be true for some Nina, however, there are several SP's who are working here in Vancouver who have managed to make a relationship work despite being provider.
I won't name any but I know of at least 3 top providers who are dating & seem to have it together with an SO.

I can understand your theory on this Nina but that is not a true reflection of all males in a relationship with an SP.
There should never be concern over who has the power & what you need to do to even the odds.
If that is the case I would simply state that you are with the wrong guy.
Any man worth his salt will be supportive & understanding of his SO regardless of her income or perceived position of power.
Good relationships are not about power & manipulation they are about sharing with & caring for your mate.
I choose to forget about even dreaming of a love interest for myself right now.
I know my heart yearns for it, but I really don't see how it could work for me the way my life is set up... I am looking towards a day when I hang up the heels and meet someone fabulous and live happily ever after..
And ya, I know that's a fairy tale

but sometimes they come true too..

Never give up on your dreams Nina that is what makes getting up each morning worth it!
We people are not meant to be alone cuz we are social animals but it is better to be alone than to be in a relationship where you are not appreciated & cared for by your SO.
You will know how much your mate cares by how much they are willing to sacrifice & give of themselves for the relationship.
Unfortunately, those ladies are the exceptions. If the woman has a relationship with a client, she risks him wanting to make it exclusive or him wanting to have her as his financial support. If the woman has a relationship with a man who isn't a client, she always has to deal with the risk of him finding out. I don't believe it to be possible to have a real relationship if you are lying to your partner.
I agree with you here Al & regarding the guys who wish to have their SP GF support them they are scum!
ANY GUY NOT WILLING TO WORK & HELP SUPPORT HIS S.O. IS A
WORTHLESS BUM!!!
You gals - if your man is not able to find work after 90 days you should give him the boot!
Any guy who is even half a man will never sit around and let a woman support him.
The majority of men don't handle not being exclusive with a woman well. We just aren't wired to accept having another man having sex with our lady. When a man can handle it, it's usually because he doesn't view her as the prospective mother of his children, rather - he views her as financial support or a plaything that he can break if he wants to. Neither is good for the woman involved.
I tend to agree here again & I have dated 2 SP's in the past.
It really messes with your mind that another guy is with your woman.
That said - if the gal is in the business when you met her & you begin to have feelings for her then you have to accept that it is her choice to stay or go in the biz.
If she decides to quit cuz she cares too much for you then you should discuss it & make sure she will not have regrets & blame you later for having done so.
If the SP SO is gonna quit she has to do it for the right reasons.
I personally would tell an SP if she was my SO that she needs to finish her goals that she started out with & then quit or she may, even if just in the back of her mind, blame me if the relationship starts to get rocky.
Alternatively - said SP could begin to miss the money & lifestyle & that could cause a rift in the relationship.
It has to be her decision & hers alone whether to stay or go.
Yes Nina, Fairy tales sometimes do come true. I will keep looking to the stars for inspiration of just that. What you say makes sense, the way our lives are set up, it's likely not possible to maintain any sort of healthy relationship while in the industry.
Dreams do come true but most likely there will need to be a little compromise to the details & extent of how much of those dreams become reality.
Dreams are dreams & there will always be that separation with reality to differentiate the two.
But for those who live a little more in the real world than in La La land and are willing to put forth the effort to make those dreams a reality ...
YES you just may be your own lucky charm.
In my own life I have had dreams & made them come true but only the rational ones.
For example;
I have the motorcycle I always dreamed of.
I have one of the cars I always dreamed of.
I am still not able to get my 'dream' home nor my other dream car:

But I do plan on having it within the next 5-7 years!
The dream home may take longer?
Those are just things of course but having the love of my life will trump all the other 'things'.
Of course, having entered this industry at the age of 41, with experiences of unhealthy relationships when I was a secretary, a cashier, a manager, a trainer ...well, maybe relationships can't give us what we yearn for no matter what we do or who we are.
So, you're no spring chicken!
You have had several past jobs & relationships along the way.
All that adds up to experience & the best thing about experience is what you learned from it.
If all that experience has not taught you anything other than fear & hopelessness I would say you need to change your attitude & perspective on life.
Not that I am a shining example of who or what to be but at least I do know the value of experience.
I guess in a tiny place in my mind I thought it would be somewhat easier to be around a guy if he was a client who continued to see other SP's. I thought that because at least then we would share a very important understanding of human needs at a level not all understand and I thought that would somehow make it possible to work out. I know I was wrong.
This just sounds odd Jessica?
There is a bit of difference in the activities here.
You, being an SP, are earning an income from seeing other men.
What income of benefit is your man getting from seeing other SP's if he is dating you?
If you have a open, no strings attached relationship then that is understandable but I assume it wasn't.
I am a very tolerant person with few needs., so easily and simply satisfied and equally, let down only when someone lies to me. Truly all I am looking for is someone with whom I can be honest and in return who will be honest with me.
And so I wait. I am working within a detailed time frame to attain my goals. It is clear that the goal of finding someone to fall asleep with will have to wait.
Thanks for the input and thanks for the honesty.
Jessica
Damn - you really sound despondent here!
Cheer up Ducky!
You may as well learn to laugh at your problems -
everybody else does!
from a card I once received
Honesty in a relationship is paramount in my opinion but there are exceptions like when she asks if she looks fat in her new skin tight jeans & if you like her new purple hair.
Also I would suspect that there is a bit more than honesty you are looking for in a relationship.
Here's a bit of helpful advice FWIW - spend time with friends more & focus on your goals.
Begin a fitness program if not already in one.
Pick up a hobby - like say ....
pooning?
or
take some college courses like advanced calculus or Boolean algebra?
If that doesn't work come to Vancouver & I can think of several activities to keep your mind off of searching for a mate.
Do you enjoy being tied up?
What is your tolerance for pain?
Do you mind having hand prints on your bum from being spanked?
Ever been covered in gravy &then thrown in a room full of puppies?
I also have a pony if .... er never mind.
