Security Or Freedom

[EuropianBliss]

So Ive Had An interesting proposition this week and I believe that it is genuine in nature and am treating accordingly.
Ive been asked for exclusivity and for my monogamy will be financially unencumbered In the lifestyle I'm accustomed to (and I have an exotic tendency that creates soo much friction on my credit card that it needs to be replaced every two weeks)

I've debated The pros and cons and The conclusion derived is that I would prefer freedom over stability.

If given the opportunity to make such a decision What would be your influencing factors to sway the outcome?

Ahoy Good luck MM
Personally i would go for the money, usually this sort of "proposition' are short lived.

No one can answer this other than yourself.
Only you know the who, what, where and why.
Discount everybody's advice save your own (and that also includes this post).

Think of it as an investment into stability for a period of time. When you think it's time to break free, you choose so yourself. I guess that is the kind of agreement that need to be agreed upon.

Hi MM, My girlfriend that works in the industry has had similar offers in the past. She has not accepted them as she wants to determine her own schedule as a business woman and not feel "owned". As in all cases it depends upon the conditions. With my girlfriend the offer, which included covering her major expenses, was still not as much as she could earn. If times are difficult it may be an option for a period of time for financial reasons. How much latitude would you be given? How long would the arrangement be for? Is there a get out clause? If the person expects you to be at their command 24 hours a day it could limit your private life and freedom to do other things. If they are obsessive they may monitor your other activities to ensure you comply. The advice form my girlfriend would be to keep your independence. However, as has been said, the choice is yours based on all the information you have about the person making the request and the benefits you will get. It sounds like you have decided not to accept the offer and to keep your freedom of choice about the clients you see, which seems like a good decision.

If ya have to choose, freedom always!
Security is highly overrated, its puts us in a comfort zone where we no longer push ourselves, life is safe, but dull.

That said, theres no reason you cant have both, just establish some rules, he doesnt own you

It sounds like your describing marriage.. I've been there and the sex ends pretty quickly after you accept the agreement so I think you're making the right choice by choosing freedom.

Security like this sounds like a prison, I suggest
