I anticipate push back already - "it's just a business thing..." etc., etc., but I'm sorry - when you have certain levels of intimacy with another human being, it goes beyond that
So: escort, met once, had a good time, etc, etc. (Not revealing his identity here at this point - perhaps too sensitive an issue and do not want to be mean)
Repeated requests for money, some of which I responded to, which I should have known better as he flaked on my several times afterwards
Now texsts telling me he is starving on the streets, which I responded to which expressions of concern and empathy
Now textst blaming me for his situation, etc., etc.
Am I angry? Yes... Am I insuled? Yes?... Do I feel bad for the guy? Doubles YES
Am I being manipulated? Should I be doing more? How would you respond is a fellow human, clearly going through a bad time, reached out to you this way?
Thanks.
