Telling my bf what I do..
« on: 20 August 2011, 11:09:26 am »
I recently started seeing a guy I  who doesn't know what I do for a living. We haven't had any discussions yet about our relationship or where its going. We haven't said that we'll be exclusive to each other or anything.  He's also from a country in Europe, so he might not even stay long in England. However I have started to develop feeling for him and feel really guilty. I know I should break it off with him, but I can't. I know if I tell him he would probably want to break up with me. I always practice safe sex and get checked regularly and also practice safe sex with him. I don't know what to do. Having a boyfriend makes it harder to enjoy my work. Before I used to love it, but right now quitting is not an option.

Thanks LouLou37. He added me as a friend on facebook so I am a bit worried about what he might do if he finds out-like declare it to my friends and family.

I would keep my mouth shut for the moment because you don't know were this relationship is heading nor if this guy is going to stay in the UK. So just date, fuck and enjoy him while it lasts. You might spoil something good if you spill the beans (plus he's in your facebook...ouch!). But......I would engage in a "casual" conversation with him. Something in the lines of: "Oh! I just found out that my friend from school is an escort. Can you believe I bumped into her in the train and she told me right away! I was shocked because she's really nice!" Study his reaction. See what he sez. See how he feels about "a girl being an escort". You don't know this guy enough. You want to test the waters before doing something silly ,ok?.

Hi there...

MMmmm the facebooking thing first... I would talk to him and say listen would you mind if I take you off facebook... I like to keep us special and communicating on the phone and of course face to face... maybe a wee white lie of having a bad experience or something.  A couple of people know what I do.. but I was honest and said I prefer you not to be on my facebook... to me sometimes things go wrong and you don't know what people are going to do when the chips are down.  As far as the time and telling thing... Mmmm I think it has a fine line.... you will know I guess... I dated someone who had a religion that even frowned on sex... so can you imagine... I did not say anything.... but I did talk to him referring to a friend that just told me she was an escort and checked out his expressions and what he had to say.... he was pretty relaxed but I know for a fact he would not of handled it from other conversations he had discussed.  For me it was too much of a risk for him to know and share with certain people.   

The condom thing is good though.  For me to take away someones safety without giving them an informed choice would really be harsh.

I agree with this.  As for telling him - as others have said, I would be minded to just see how it goes.  Don't tell him too soon.  I became friends with a (non-WG) girl a couple of years back and we got pretty close pretty quickly and I was *this* close to telling her what I did, but then she started getting weirdly obsessive and I had to end the friendship...whereupon she turned nasty.  I dread to think what would have happened if I had told her.

Re the Facebook thing - if/when he does find out, couldn't you just quickly remove him from your friends list?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will bring out the topic of escorts and see his reaction.I don't want to remove him from facebook, but will if we break up and he finds out..I still don't know where the relationship is going, he is working abroad at the moment and I will see him soon, but he has said a few things to indicate he might be getting a bit more serious.

I'd recommend you keep quiet for the time being, until you know him better. Unfortunately, we need to be a little more guarded and private than most people. When my ex-boyfriend found out, he was fine for 2 months, and the flipped out. We broke up amicably, but he still turned nasty and told all my friends and family.  :-\ You need to be so careful hun x
