I came back on to try to delete my profile (but cannot figure out how) and noticed people had responded to my retirement post so for those who were speculating FunSugerDaddy was pretty bang on with his last comment. Marriage (have to be married for that to be a problem), bad experiences (just the opposite), being gay (sorry Richter, good guess though), nor financial resources led to my desire to hang 'em up. It was in fact becoming too attached to a specific provider. I'm not sure if this is a common issue for others or not but it became a pretty big one for me. Financially I could easy have her stop doing what she is doing and support her in a lifestyle that would far exceed any SP's but you can't buy a relationship; I've tried, ask my ex-wife (LOL). Is it even possible to move from client to significant other, that is the million dollar question. I'm pretty sure I do not have the emotional intelligence or maturity to pull that off. Age, trust, past and present life experiences all come into play and are a factor.
I will quite rambling and maybe stick around for a few more days to see if anyone has experience with this or pearls of wisdom they'd be willing to share.

Well the reason I wrote what I did is because not only did I pretty much cover the spectum of possibilities but I'm dealt with most of them in one fashion or the other.
I have fallen somewhat for an SP before (that puts me in the TTT camp with about 50 other guys lol)
But even more awkward and difficult to deal with is falling for a Sugar Baby. The reason being is that they aren't pro's in the sense of having a lot of clients, in fact you may very well be their only client. That in of itself makes you feel special and in fact you are special.
That's the whole point of the relationship.
But handling that "specialness" in the context of reality isn't alway an easy juggling act. And if you're married it's close to an impossible situation to deal with.
I've had an on again, off again, relationship with one SB for over 4 years now, during that time it's ebbed and flowed all over the place, from weekly get togethers and being extremely attached, to getting pissed off at each other and going 6-8 months without saying a word, to becoming friends.
I personally think SP's are a bit easier to deal with because the rules are more defined, you know they are seeing others and it's a business and SOME (so don't freak out about this comment), NOT ALL, have ongoing issues.
