OP's keeper could be making a six ir seven figure income. Or running up huge debts. It's a common story on American Greed and 20/20. Guy has a family with a high-end lifestyle plus mistresses on the side. Maxes out all his credit options and then turns to illegal sources. Maybe takes out a large insurance policy on his wife, etc. All because the guy thinks he's entitled to a life he can't earn legitimately. Lies to everyone, including his parents and friends, to keep up the facade. |
Two different posters. I was the D.S. poster, but not the Donald poster. |
Not OP, but that's not a question. |
Ugh...low class kept woman and low class sugar daddy!
Why are we wasting time here. They both obviously deserve each other. Let's not try and make it respectable or compare it with SAHMa etc. This is just a man paying a woman for sexual favors. It's a transaction - no need to try and find a deeper motive. Sheesh! DCUM should stop trying to save her soul! |
OP, how do you know you're the only "kept woman"? Is he just with you or does he have others?
Do you practice safe sex/get tested? |
I work part time doing interior design. Op, dump the dude and keep fostering those doggies. So much more meaningful. |
Op is under the impression that she is his only other woman and that the wife is the only other (rare) bed partner. What are the odds that she's practicing safe sex, being tested for STDs....hmmm. |
+1! Sounds like another DCUM legend. |
Not sure if anyone asked this question before..didn't read thru the 37 odd pages!
Where/how the heck did you meet his guy, with the huge age difference and all? Did you put yourself up on one sugar daddy website, during college? |
WTF? Spousal abuse is a serious subject, PP! |
I think she said he knew her Professor and spoke to her class |
I've known several such women myself. All have ended up alone in their late 30s/early40s. OP, better get a day job because it's a very short ride. First time you have to dye the grey, he'll find a new model. |
OP, couldn't read through 37 pages, but wanted to offer a thought. I'm not into judging people's actions; the truth is we'll only know a portion of your story. So I'll leave the morality of what you're doing up to you. But I hear a casualness in your description of where you are in your life and I'd advise caution. At 24, it's easy to feel like you have all the time in the world to find your career, yourself, your partner, etc. The truth is, the choices you make now are shaping what happens next. Meaning, you're doing more than just treading water right now, even though it may feel that innocuous. There's a great TED talk about this: Why 30 is not the new 20: http://www.ted.com/talks/meg_jay_why_30_is_not_the_new_20
Listen to this, and consider moving on in your life. I bet there's better things ahead for you. |
Please do NOT kill this thread! This is fascinating. OP's thought processes are more interesting than the actual logistics. The responses are also very...educational. |
+1. She has already spent more than 1/5 of her life with this guy. Breaking free and building a life is only going to be that much harder one, two, five years from now. |
