NO ... that was a feeble Saturday morning attempt at humor.

Seriously ... I'd say this:  It's hard for anyone to find connections these days, so if she wants him .. let her have him.  Clients come and go all the time - you'll get another one soon, probably a better one.

If they find something together ... then you can be happy for them and hopefully some other woman may do the same for you some day.  If it's just a fling .... he'll be back anyway.

If they maintain a relationship ... but after a while he starts coming back to see you ... you will have inside information from both sides of the relationship ... just think of the ways you could use that to get even!  (again .. just kidding on this last one)

Just let them have each other.  

My ATF invited a friend once to a threesome.  I had a great time with her friend and ended up getting my cups from her.  but my ATF is still my ATF.

I don't know your relationship with your client other than he see you once a week.  If this is for any period of time (months)that would make it seem like he is pretty happy with and you would probably qualify to be his ATF.

Even if your friend approached him, I am not sure again that he would take her of on the offer.

You also need to understand when you get possesive of a client, that entails some responsibility on your part.  You have to walk him, feed him, scratch him under the chin, and tell him he is a good boy.  If you don't, he may just go find himself a new master.
As to this woman who is now not your friend, screw her and the pony she rode in on.

Probably need to ask yourself if it is the steady income or why you care about this guy.

Cheers

The proof of her friendship is in her actions.  Not the why the what.  Please don't become cynical.  We already have cynicalman and cynicalman 2.0.  We don't need cynical women.  There are a lot of good guys and women out there.  Maybe you just need a diffrent type of friend.  There are women out there who are not escorts who would love to be your friend.  Some of us guys also.  "Its all about the money" is true to an extent.  Make a friend outside of your business circle  Personally I don't have a social realtionship with anyone I work with or for.  Good luck don't get hard.

honey ... don't listen to these guys

"I have a ton of icky guys I've been seeing I'd like to get rid of" -- Disappointed's "friend"


if i understand you correctly, THIS is her idea of sharing the wealth (her clientele) with you???

if so, then honey fuggabout her. undermining you by trashing BBBJs? screw her. stealing your clients while at it? screw her with vengeance ... in any BUSINESS you step on anyone's toes and impede their influx of revenue and you can bet someone will pay and pay through the nose. just ask any businessMAN in almost any business. but the exact same is true for women and this business. it's human nature, no gender bias about it whatsoever.

now if i misunderstood you and she's a "friend" worth your reconsderation ("give her a chance", etc) then by all means, give her a chance ... she'll do it to you again. gauaranteed.


btw, i'm getting the sense from your post that you're venting some stuff that's for a particular few's consumption and benefit and not necessarily the public at large. so if this is NOT what you expected to hear, you'll forgive me, i'm sure.

My old boss used to have a saying "I guess people are just acting human." I always thought it was pretty corny, but now that I'm getting close to the age he was when he was saying it...

The point is, while this situation is ripping your heart out, it is no reflection on you. It is a reflection on the other lady. If you add up all of the things you have done for other ladies in the business (I am assuming here), you have to have a great sense of pride in what you have done.  Its unfortunate, but very human, that the things you do for others are not always recognized by those you have helped the most.

But trust me, there are many who do recognize, but maybe have forgotten to mention it lately. Confide in them.
