In this modern update on Cinderella, a prostitute and a wealthy businessman fall hard for one another, forming an unlikely pair. While on a business trip in L.A., Edward, who makes a living buying and breaking up companies, picks up a hooker, Vivian, on a lark. After Edward hires Vivian to stay with him for the weekend, the two get closer, only to discover there are significant hurdles to overcome as they try to bridge the gap between their very different worlds.

@Cherub and @Utopian... Appreciate the thoughts. @Cherub, I can totally relate to your two types (and thanks for the story). I've experienced versions of both, but never to this extent.
I'm only telling part of the story here. I'm no saint either. What I've said about her is true, but I've manipulated her as well in ways that she doesn't realize because I didn't entirely trust her from the beginning (though I could never have imagined all this shit).
I think she's 35% type 1 and 65% type 2... (and yes, 100% nuts). In all seriousness, nothing would surprise me. I'm positive she'll try to fuck me over at some point, but she's in a "honeypot" and doesn't realize it.
The bottom line is this: I know that I need to call it quits. No question. I've managed to dodge a bullet, nay, an atomic warhead. I'm clean, have some absurd stories, and have lost nothing of note other than the year or so that she's no doubt shaved off of my life.
As with most people, she's a mix. She's not 100% a filthy whore, and she's certainly not innocent. She's complex. Through this and my ridiculous Tinder days, I've realized that I'm ultimately a relationship guy. I just don't have the energy for all this chaos.
Both of my parents were severe alcoholics. When you're around chaotic people, the world warps to their reality. Craziness seems normal. I've seen this with her as well. If any of my friends told me they were going through this, I'd slap them, tell them to wake up, count their blessings, and snap back to reality. Go apple picking, meet a reasonable woman if you want, and seek meaning over fleeting passion and impulses.
But that ass, tho. Epic.

Surely you see the point of her inviting you to her show? Trauma melts your brain, so you have to build some kind of structure in there to deal with shit. Shame she couldn't tell you, but there's a whole level of chaos she's trying to deal with too. Shame and guilt and whatnot, but if you can be the calm, then maybe you could get the excitement you dream of, and she can get the calmness and security she obviously desires.
How old are you both? You sounds about 50 and she sounds about 25. ;-)
- Great story btw. I read it and could almost feel your stress.Ianbolton
- The bigger question is, will she care for you if you got eg parkinson's at age 65. Will she be there for the decade of decline, or will she bail?shapesalad
- You're absolutely right. I'm pushing 50 (though skew younger) and she's late 20s. Wasn't the plan, but here we are.catpower
- Impressive powers of deduction, Ian!BuddhaHat

- for some reason, i can't post text anymore. cool. tl;dr... i put it in and "pumped" exactly one time... told her "i'm good" which offended her wildly.catpower
- she curled up at the top of the bed, offended, as I went to put my clothes on. she was like "seriously, what the f*ck?"catpower
- i don't really know what to say about all this, except it's been a new theme. i've been about to hook up with several girls and leave just as things heat up.catpower
- i could go on, but this is a new pattern—intentionall... denying myself and women. perhaps it's jadedness... or just a new fucked up chapter. happy v-day!catpower
- You really are an odd individual.Continuity
- Sounds like a lot of uninteresting drama around not being able to connect with or pleasure womem.cannonball1978

Just read all this... Absolutely amazing! I dated two woman like this in the past, one work in a mental hospital in Hackney (Should have legged it at that) but man... the sex was insane, she one time turned up at my flat with some girl and told me i'm gonna watch them fuck and have to come on the both of them ... Then time i had to stop stop her stabbing some guy in the street because touched her bum, which was impossible as in just walked into bar, oh the knife was in her sock.
And the other was so so much worse but absolutely more stunning, What that girl did could be in movies for years. Drugs, drink, sex, fist fights... the whole fucking nine yards. I cant lie didn't try stop either, it is intoxicating... The fear and excitement of every meet up. In the end they just fizzle out and your left feeling, like you woke up outta the weirdest dream/nightmare. I'm glad both of these happened before social media... Safe to stay, they are both probably in jail or tory MPs by now.

PS do not give this person money.
- Like, if you want to pull back the sheets and see what this girl is really about, refuse her money on principle.cannonball1978
- that's actually good advice. I like your style.cherub

As long as you don’t go bankrupt, I don’t see a problem. At some point you will feel miserable but you did after your divorce as well.
Just try to enjoy life and don’t overthink.

You need to write a book about this.

I was giddy until I read the last two paragraphs, which were a disappointment.
It's just our nature as men to always react like that when finding out our significant other had sex *gasp* with other men. A number of men, in fact.
I probably would have reacted the same way.
- She put it on the blockchain.palimpsest
- I hear that and kind of agree. The main issue wasn't the "seqs"... it was the secrecy.catpower
- Each partner needs to know the "risk profile" for diseases etc. I felt mislead. That's the issue. I miraculously made it out unscathed, but trust is broken.catpower
- I hear you. It's not nothing. But I've tried to not react like that myself and couldn't overpower the "damn why didn't you tell me"cherub
- I get that. She could have put off telling you about it for a while but she should have given you a head's up before the show.palimpsest
- I'm just thankful to all the girls i knew and were open enough with me about these things so i never felt insecure or unsafe about any type of sex.sted
- and I hope she fucked a few girls too.sted
