    Although someone referring to her husband as hubzy, think that one won't ever be topped.

    STBXH got me.

    Then there was the lady that was giving her DD a DS for Christmas. Surrogate motherhood?

    No, sadly. I'll take some time off from this site as it's not helping me feel any better, I'm just getting angrier.
    Why are you getting angry and who are you getting angry with?

    You've put forward your opinion on exploiting vulnerable people on this thread.

    Have you put the same points to your boyfriend?
    What has been his response?

    I'm not against prostitution altogether (as long as the prostitute is working of their own free will and earning life changing amounts) but I couldn't respect someone that had exploited someone else's poverty for their own sexual gratification.

    That's interesting.

    Basically, your main source of information appears to be the Daily Mail.

    Is that the only 'observation' you're capable of?

    If the prostitute was charging "life changing" amounts, would they not be exploiting their customers?

    A pound might be a life changing amount in some countries

    The customer is free to walk away if they're not happy with the amount charged. The prostitute in discussion may not have that choice if they have children to feed or elderly relatives to support.

    So why not pay twenty pounds or forty pounds and make a real change to their life rather than pay as little as you can get away with?

    Why not just ask him for £1.50 every time he has sex with you?

    That way you punish him for his misdemeanour, and you build up a savings fund for a new frock

    Naughty but funny to me!

    lol!

    I've had a few glasses of scrumpy so that's my defence.

    Why shop at Aldi when you can go to Harrods? In case the Aldi staff have mouths to feed just does not ring sense in any sort of business. :eek:

    Whenever I get quotes for jobs, I instinctively opt to go with the most cost effective and even then I tend not to pay any extras as a result of feeling flush that day or the workman looks like he could do with some new workboots . I cannot think of a company that does work in that way.

    Soon to be ex husband, but indeed, why just not type it out, ridiculous not to.

    Or ex hubzy even.
