My client really liked me (and I liked him). We were meeting every week, sometimes twice a week, at full rate. Soon, he asked if I could give him a "break" so we decided he'd give me a set amount each month which would still give me a nice amount of support and save him money.
The problem is that we didn't define HIS expectations. In exchange for supporting me, he wanted unlimited access to me.
We would have lunch and meet for drinks a few times a week, plus sessions, plus constant (and I mean CONSTANT) contact. He was sending me like 40 texts all day and all night. He wanted me to send him selfies all the time.
He also wanted constant reassurance that I loved him. It was exhausting.
He started getting lazy on paying me and would say things like, "You only want me for my money."
Well of course I only want him for his money! He's 63 and married. We can't spend the weekends together, he cant take care of me when I'm sick, or do things real couples do.
Long story short, the money slowly dried up and I got reallllly cranky and he started getting the BGE instead of GFE.
I cut off all contact with him for months. Recently, we started seeing eachother again but we're back to regular full rate sessions. It just works way better and gives us some boundaries. He was trying to turn me into his free mistress and that did not work for me on any level.
