Personal dilema!
« on: 23 November 2010, 02:55:14 pm »
Ok girls I am a bit torn here so would value your opinions please.

I have always mantianed in my ten years on and off in the business that its too hard to have a relationship and work at the same time, so have either lied and told previous boyfriends I did something else or quit working when relationships have got serious.

Heres my problem or maybe I just think it is  :-\

I met a guy in August, well re-met, we went to junior and senior school together but hadn't seen each other for years until we first spoke on Facebook about two years ago and then met up in August for lunch and have been seeing each other since.

I told him what I do on the second or third time we met and before we were actually seeing each other and he was and still is fine about it and told me he has gone swinging alone and with previous girlfriends since he was 19 so he understood its just a job and aslong as I wasn't cheating with other guys outside of work it didn't bother him.

So why do I feel so bad about working?????
Not to the extent that I can't work but I just don't feel the same about the job anymore  :-[

Any of you ladies got any advice please  :-*

I've always told potential partners about it.
Actually I disclose it to anyone who is more than a one-off shag
Most of my friends know, I really am that OK about it.

Both my current, long term partners would rather I did something else.
They tolerate my job and are actually both supportive
despite their own feelings.
Yet, when either or both of them are over at my place,
they notice the way I field work calls, subtlety alters.
Like I go through the motions on the phone but don't engage with the caller.
{think like the difference between someone reading a script & having a normal conversation with you}

I know it's true and it's in my head.
Almost as though I find seeing clients intrusive!

It's a job, no more.
But at the same time, it does intrude into personal space.

A  way round it for you {and me  ;D } would to possibly treat it more like
any other job, ie set hours in which we whore
and outside those hours, we don't.
That way it is easier to get the work/life balance.

Anyway I'm great at giving advice.
If it works for you, I might try it.  ;D

Thanks Jodie  :-*

I do work in that way already, I work set hours and switch off my phone or don't answer it when I'm not working and at home as thats my time  ;)

I actually took him to a punting forum social last Saturday night and he loved it and has joined the forum aswell  ;D

I know the feeling. I had a long-term relationship of 6 years. I told him after 6 months when things started getting serious. I knew he wouldn't be over-joyed , but hoped he would tolerate it as I wasn't about to put my financial security on the line for any man!

He was ok with it after the initial shock and NEVER once made me feel bad or anything due to my work (I'd bin him if he did!) and he understood it as what it is - a JOB.

However I did get these frequent pangs of un-easiness about it when I was with him. We lived together and the pangs became more frequent. I tried everything to separate "work" from "home" - different wardrobe, different make-up, different perfume, different everything, which was expensive in itself. I never answered the phone in front of him (switched it off) although I did go on the laptop for work-related stuff when he was around. We didn't really discuss it unless I had a particularly bad day.

Don't think I can add much more than the brill advice Jodie has given you but I do know how you feel. Like you, I wasn't sure WHY I felt that way, I just know I felt it x
 

Spot on luv you describe everything I am feeling at the moment  :-[
