Hey you’re absolutely right! Haven’t really gone into much detail, but of course he likes me, why on earth would someone throw a ridiculous amount of money at a prostitute to stop her from working? But I’ve clarified I don’t want any romance.
I am tempted to do what you suggested to be honest haha
You are proving to be very naive barbie (
with all my respects). He's throwing a ridiculous amount of money so he can control you, right now you seeing other guys and getting paid by them he has no control over you. Once you're financially dependent on this man he'll be able to have the control he craves over you. He has feelings for you, hence the reason, as you said "
why on earth would someone throw a ridiculous amount of money at a prostitute to stop her from working? ". Once he manages to isolate you and financially control you (
which is what he's after) if you don't show him head over heels lovey dovey signs of being romantically involved with him after all the money he's spent on you he will become angry and manipulative. He's buying you. There's nothing such as a "free lunch" in this world. Eventually You won't like being with such a control freak and will run away back to escorting after having lost all your regulars. Then you'll have to start from scratch again.
(I don't know of a single happy ending to a sugar daddy story)
