I need advice

[moon_in_june]

I have a client that's offering to put me up in an apartment (signing a one year lease) and is offering to help me start my own business  so long as I see him exclusively. I would be encouraged to continue working at my day job (which I already planned on doing) and cover my own expenses (and probably end up saving very little $$). If I chose this route, we agreed that we'd meet no more than twice per week. I've known this client for two years now and trust him.
The other option is for me to get back into escorting independently, since, I've taken a year long hiatus from the industry just seeing this one client. With this option I can date and go on vacation with clients when they ask, but, I'd be working hard (and profiting) and saving good money, which is my goal. I'm feeling a little tired of escorting.

Which option would you choose and why?

The second. Never ever rely on a man in this industry. He sounds like an utter boundary pusher and trying to enslave you (you'd be EXPECTED to work your shitty job? Red flag right there). And you covering your own expenses?? And he could pull the rug from under your feet when he felt like it/cos you didn't hang the toilet roll the right way round?

Second option all the way.

If I was feeling tired of escorting I'd rather not do it. I would follow plan 1 and start my own business. But working a full time job, starting your own business and having a sugar daddy is A LOT of work and you're going to end up exhausted. The easy thing would be to go back to escorting and open your business, but if you're tired of it then... maybe it's not a good idea. On the other hand if you don't mind giving this man so much power over you then hey ho.

I'd never be beholden to one man under any circumstances, especially if it involved e.g. where I lived.

Don't rely on anyone else, make your own way.  Always option 2.

Option 2. I would never trust anyone fully in this industry who wants something in exchange - certainly not with where I live. He may be pleasant now; people can turn.

I'd rather work for myself, winding down if I was getting to burn out - take a break and see how I felt. Sometimes time away/time out puts things into perspective. Whilst I appreciate not everyone has that luxury due to commitments at home, sometimes just getting away for a bit when you're sick of something does clear your mind. And if you do come back and think 'nah, I'm done', that's fine too.

Option 2. I would never trust a client with my home, no matter how much you feel you can trust them. This is giving too much control over yourself and your life, as someone here already said, people may turn. Going into this kind of agreement makes you entirely dependent on that client's good will. I'm not saying his intentions are bad, but it's extremely risky and I don't think it's worth it moneywise either.

The first one sounds like a very bad sugar arrangement where he gets all the benefits and you get nothing but more stress, don't fall for this bs it's pathetic how many guys try to take advantage of you and act like they are offering you a good deal. A scammer acts genuine and trustworthy because they need to gain your confidence for the scam to work.

If you're tired of escorting and falling for these control tactics you should just quit because soon you'll be miserable and in a hole you need to dig out of.

Option two all the way Hun get your own flat or tour  and save up make your own money Hun you can only rely on your self. Option one is a very bad idea what I can see happening is him wanting you to see him every day and you then saying no he will have you kicked out his apartment really bad Idea Hun . If you have had enough of this work try web cam if you want to earn some extra money but please stay away from option 1 .

Fully agreed with TrashAzn, it sounds like a subpar sugaring arrangement. And most sugaring arrangements are already subpar compared to escorting.

When you say "help", does this mean giving you money, or loaning you money? Or is it just non-tangible "I'll give you the benefit of my years of wisdom and experience" crap?

TBH even if he was going to give a big cash injection and was willing to do everything legally (i.e. the rental agreement would be in your name, the funding would be a legally drawn up agreement) I would not agree to it anyway. I'm allergic to men telling me what I can do with my vagina! They only rent me, they don't buy exclusive access!
