My boyfriend is says he is okay with me being a stripper?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend and I haven't been together that long, but he's certainly shown me that he cares for me quite a bit, I'd even go as far as saying he loves me (he addresses me with "my love").
I feel like I can personally talk to him about anything, so I brought up the issue of me needing to move asap. My mother has become extremely hostile towards me for whatever reason. I've decided it is time to love from a distance, so I am moving in three months.

I work as a waitress, sell makeup and handmade jewelry as well, but that isn't enough for ends meet and moving. I figure since I live in Atlanta I could make some extra money working at one of the various strip clubs here. After discussing all of this with my boyfriend he said that he knows that I would have no problem gaining customers, but that I am better than that. He won't tell me that I can't do something, but he also said that he would still be with me and that he doesn't get jealous easily. Do you think he is serious about being alright with me working in the clubs?

I have dated a few strippers and know others who have dated them. Your boyfriend does not care and if you work, he will see himself as a pimp. No man wants to see his woman grinding on other men.

What will happen is guys with a lot of money will touch the woman's heart and on a day when the boyfriend is pissed off or things get a little tough the temptation takes hold. There are drugs everywhere and plenty of dealers looking to take advantage of the excess money the girls have. Drugs and legal problems come with the job.

Does the boyfriend care, yes, to a point that all you are is a piece of meat. Good manors means nothing and calling you his love is what he calls all his girls.

I think you're just not a good person.

I was trying to date a stripper myself... I met her there, but, well, what she said a long time ago, wasn't exactly true (and no, it wasn't to "turn me on") it just was something she plain out lied about

Hey, lady! In my opinion, of course he feels bad about it, but he can't tell you because it would sound like he's trying to control you. He clearly loves you, because he's supporting you on something he's probably uncomfortable with.
Also, I think you should NOT become a stripper! You'll regret this forever. You sound like a lovely person, and you are better than that! Have you ever thought about selling not hand made jewelry? It earns more money than artisan crafts.

Sure, then you can pay for everything
