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
} 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.
