My boyfriend, who knows what I do, has seen a lot of women I know (and know of). I've read reference to him on here (from a couple of years ago, but still weird for me). He seems ashamed about this which I prefer to him thinking it's something he can go back to tbh. I also feel insecure comparing myself to the gorgeous escorts he's seen, thinking I don't measure up at all.
I really doubt he's cheating, but it does make me very very insecure and queasy sometimes when I'm accidentally confronted with his past.
I'm sure some of you will know who he is [possibly identifying information redacted].
Advice pls. Also when we first started seeing each other I asked if he'd seen escorts and he gave the name of one. Then from his indiscreet internet activity I realised it was more like 10-15 (5 of whom I know ). I feel paranoid that other sex workers won't want to be friends with me because of boundaries.
I do love him immensely and plan to be with him indefinitely, everything else is near perfect.
Has anyone else been in a relationship with someone who's paid to fuck their friends? Or just me?

My boyfriend used to see escorts before he got with me. I don't mind at all. Just think, you are the one he's chosen to be with! Not any of the others xx

I'm in a relationship of nearly 5 years with an ex-punter and have no problems at all.I think the difference here is though that he was very upfront about who he had seen and alot of the ladies he saw were friends of mine plus others who weren't. We have both been honest about everything and as far as I know we have never hidden anything from one another.
It sounds like the issue isn't that he was a client but rather he hasn't been straight with you.

My current relationship is similar we've been together 8 years as a couple, and even decided to get married.

I am a little jealous and so is he (in an insecure way)however we talk openly and honestly, also feels like we have a very special understanding. In one way I'm proud because he had some nice punts with quality providers, one or two I consider friends within sex work. Also his input is valuable to me - I get a punters opinion too if I ask his advice.

Some people can cope with open relationships and other people can't.  Horses for courses.

By open do you mean have sex with other people, or do you mean 'talk' openly?

Mine is the latter.
