Suddenly some business clients are questioning among themselves how I could leave a successful and respected lawyer for an escort.
I'd simply reply: "Well, look at the actions my ex-wife has gone through to try and hurt myself and my new wife. Better a former escort who would never hurt a soul, than a jealous, vindictive, but 'well respected' lawyer"
My answer to the thread:
I do not and would not date in the hobby. I feel that, much like having sex with a roommate or coworker, it's shitting where you eat. Not a practice I am very fond of, personally. I've met some great men and women in the hobby, who I could see myself spending time with outside of it. However until I *am* outside of the hobby, it's out of my mind. I try to stay very professional when it comes to this, and while it may come off as cold - it really isn't. I'm a pretty warm person (ask anyone who's met me in person!), I just don't want to screw up my job over a relationship.
Would I leave the industry for someone I found? I'm really not sure - I'm a very independent person who adores the idea of being able to support herself, put away money in the bank, and live comfortably. If I could not do that in this new relationship, I would really have to weigh which one was more important. I've come very far and I enjoy the fact I've "moved up" and can give myself a higher quality of life. I don't know if I would take a step back down paycheck-to-paycheck living for ANYONE at this point.
I made a deal with myself when I started this that I would NOT come out below my original station in life, no matter what. I've seen too many women come into this industry, do really well, and leave with nothing. I will not be that person, for anyone - even Mr or Miss Right.
