Ask me anything: I am a kept woman

I think she doesn't acknowledge, but does know. A few of his more discreet friends know.

We go out.

Prostitute.

His wife is probably getting some on the side. Win, win for all!

I'd probably juggle them for a while, and if he were still the love of my life, break up with the first one.

Do you have enormous college debt or something? Do you not like to date available men? Do you not want to use the degree that you worked hard to earn? Do you have health insurance?

I can't imagine sidelining my own life like that. You are young - you should be building your own life, not performing as this man's plaything.

What is so scary about supporting yourself and standing on your own two feet that you would give yourself to this man like this to "keep"?

Anything less than a multi-millionaire and she should not be putting up with this. Actually, you and she both are being cheated. Find a sweeter sugar daddy.

Being a mistress makes this a bit slimier. No girl power chant for you.

Why the judgement? Why can't 2 people be free to love the way they want? And who are you to judge?

Not PP, but *assuming here for purposes of this reply* the wife doesn't know, that's what makes it slimy. Yes two people can be free to love the way they want, but there is a third person in there who is in the dark and being lied to, and community property money being siphoned off. And kids who may bear the brunt of the situation if it goes south.

What kind of car do you drive?

I do a little bit of a lot of different things. I volunteer at three different places weekly. I do read a lot. I have a dog. A couple of my friends have their own businesses, and when they're busy I help each - one has an interior design business (my college major), and one has a flower business. While I am rarely rushing around, I do keep busy most of the time. Today happens to be a slow day since I'm under the weather.

A prostitute is NOT a kept woman. She's a public woman. Get your Victorianisms straight!

What do your friends think about this arrangement? Does your family know?

But your parents must wonder since most 24 yr olds are hustling to keep up with rent and car payments.
