Someone can be ok with open relationships and/or their partner being an escort while having misgivings (or maybe a better way to say it, a few insecurities about it). It's not a matter of being needy, in fact I dont think there is a person alive that is 100% confident 100% of the time - everyone needs some reassurances at some points, everyone suffers from a doubt or two now and again. Escorting is a job which can provide a focal point for that from time to time for an SO. To label someone as insecure over every now and again needing to be reassured would mean that the vast majority of women I've ever met could not be labeled as "secure" and that includes alot of escorts (from shorter ones standing on their toes while we stand and talk, another hiding a couple extra lbs in her mid section through body position and hand positioning, another giving off the sense she's concerned about her age and going forwards in the business).
I'd have a concern with dating an escort, and it's centered around the fact a big part of the job is convincingly stroking a man's ego, if she's very good at it how can I believe her all the time (not that she's sleeping with other men, that part is actually obvious), how do I know I'm not being placated (ooooo I hate being placated!!). It's not something that would be ever present, but caught at certain times the thought may be hard to shake off.
What's the difference between my having a need to occasional be reassured "no I'll always be honest with you (when it really counts, lol lets face it, over insignificant stuff....it's better to lie at times)" to someone else's occasional need to be reassured they're making the proper career choices and they can succeed if they work diligently. There really isn't a difference (as the expression goes "same crap just a different pile"), and you'll find that every person, no matter how confident and secure in who they are occasionally needs to be reassured about something sometimes. That's why I say it's terribly absolute, too black and white, no grey area.
Besides, if you were in serious relationship wouldn't you want your SO to "need" you in some way, or would you really want someone who literally could just pack up and head out without missing a beat in their life?
oops thread derailment!
