Chloe,
 I know this isn't what you want to hear, but living a lie like this is going to emotionally drain you! This is a HUGE thing in my opinion.
How long do you think you can keep it up for? I'm sorry, it's your life and your business, but I can't see this working, I believe it's wrong. If you love him and want the relationship to last, then I would seriously think of coming clean, or stopping escorting. A relationship is built on trust, I know you say that it's only sex and just a job, but we all know men don't see it that way. I believe they should have the choice whether to be with a girlfriend who escorts, or not.
Like I say this is my personal opinion, others probably disagree, but lies, distrust and decete only lead to heartache.

But, it's your life and your decision Hun. xx

I guess I thought I could avoid the issue but I know it's not an option. There's no way I can tell him straight up I'm an escort as there's no chance he'd stay with me because of how many lies I've told. I'm so used to telling lies about where I'm going/what I'm doing/etc but this is different. I know this is really bad and just more lies but I'm going to tell him I'm in financial difficulty and ease him into the idea of the adult industry, see what he thinks of me doing phone work and maybe cams then actually meeting people. I need him to trust me that I'm not attracted to or interested in any of my clients and that's a really big ask.
It's more lies I know but I haven't got it in me to tell him the truth straight up. We're quite young (20) and he's a really nice guy, the moving in thing is just because we spend so much time together every night (he works full time) that he ended up staying over most nights (which I don't mind).
I'm a little worried he's too hot headed and possibly not mature enough to hear me out so that's why I want to ease him into the idea of me as a sex worker - a little like in Goodbye Lenin when they try to catch the mother up to speed with the fall of the Berlin Wall after she wakes up.

Chloe, you are not going to want to hear this either but I think you already know dont you?  You know that you are living a lie and that there will need to be more and more lies to get out of this but it wont work will it?  I really feel for you in this situation but this relationship is going to end.  Give yourself a bit of time then before you go into another relationship but start the next one off in the right way, gently, honestly etc.  x

Think lies just do not work.

People who can find men to cope with it as partners are very lucky.

The only way to my mind a boyfriend might not mind we are an escort is if he works in the industry.  That is the only way forward in my mind.

Hoping to find a nice tasty photographer soon!  Lol.  I did have one last year but he stopped paying me for my photo work and we fell out.

Definitely not the only way. You just need guys who are poly, like to sleep around and so are open to well... open arrangements. Or are low sexed and don't attach much importance to the act as long as it's at work only. I'm with someone who falls into the last category and it works just fine.

This is exactly why I think sometimes dating a client is preferable. It comes with a whole other set of problems but at least both parties are on the same page. Unfortunately, most clients are married and the ones who aren't see us for a reason

Living a lie is one thing but living a lie when someone lives with you is really difficult. Do you really want to constantly be on tenterhooks in your own flat?

I think it would be best to come clean. Tell him in your time but be prepared for the worst.
