I haven't even been hobbying for that long. About 1 year and 8 months. (Was lurking before) And out that time, 10 months I had taken a break. Since I was in a relationship and wanted to keep faithful and not hobby. During that time all I could think about is the crazy sex I was having while hobbying. And I was just itching to go, but thankfully kept disciplined. (Though it killed me)
I think I am coming the conclusion I really don't think I can give this hobby up. I mean its been the best sex I've had topping what could ever happen with civilians. With women I would never typically meet in my regular social circle and daily life. Type of stuff I never thought has been possible. Its been one fantasy land dream just accelerated in a short period of time. It is better than regular dating if really all you want is sex without the drama and don't care about companionship. Totally fine doing my own thing these days and am self sufficient without having to share my feelings with someone else. Although I like that, it's just not worth the price to pay right now in terms of emotional debt. So much so my motivation to make more money now would be to enjoy the hobby even more.
I'm pretty sure also I could never be in a monogomous relationship again. If I were married would have to be an open marriage or polyamorous relationship. However its one thing for your spouse to be okay with you sleeping with other civies. Another thing for her to be okay to be hanging with SPs which would be pushing the envelope over the limit. So I don't think its unlikely most people would accept that double whammy. Having said that, really hard to go back once you've been on this track. So single I stay for now with casual dating with civvies and fun with SPs. However I know eventually I gotta figure something out that works for the long term if I ever want to have a family.
If you COULD give it up. Would be interested in hearing the circumstances that would make you do so.
