I love this thread and it is great to hear how some of the relationships built work out.
There is a key. Client's see providers for one thing. A real man realizes that a provider is still a real woman behind her professional persona. A real woman with feelings who, regardless of her work, still has a heart that can love. This heart does not have room for judgements
I know of two cases personally. I know a provider who has fallen for a client and the client has fallen for her. The problem? He says he wants to be in a relationship but can't handle what she does. I think he is a hypocrite! And, to express warm feelings and "I can't handle your job" in the same breath...just cruel. How can a real man string along her heart and, at the same time, express shame to the point that she is feeling ashamed of herself? Makes me sick!
Then, I know of another case where provider and client have fallen for each other. He has a hard time sometimes but, he tells me that he shares with her when it is hard but makes no judgement. He wants her to be able to share her days with him just like any other profession so he has promised to work on it. He told me the other day that he loves her...big words...and told me she loves him too. I have met both of them and, she is amazing. I used to see her a lot but, out of respect for him, I stopped seeing her a while ago. And now, well, I have retired anyway.
It also happened to me. An sp fell for me...I had to stop seeing her. I am not interested.
