My Sugar Momma Wants to Leave Her Husband for Me, and He’s Funding Our Relationship

I’m a 25-year-old sugar baby and proud of it! My sugar momma is 57 and married with kids older than me. We met when I was a waiter at a restaurant that she frequented with her girlfriends. They were there one Sunday afternoon, and I was waiting on them. They made jokes about renting me for a weekend, and I politely said I would have to decline. I was slightly embarrassed.

Before leaving the restaurant, my ‘sugar momma-to-be’ approached me and apologized for her and her friends’ rude behavior. I told her it was no big deal, and she offered to take me out to dinner to formally make amends. We ended up going out to eat a week later, and I had a better time than I was expecting to have. She was actually very funny and witty and had a laugh and smile that were super infectious. As time progressed, things turned into a sugar baby/sugar momma dynamic. She buys me things and gives me money, and, in turn, I make her feel good in every way.

Now that several months have gone by, I can tell that my sugar momma has developed an attachment and feelings for me. She can be possessive at times, but it’s nothing that I can’t handle for now. We were in bed watching a movie when she truly dropped a bomb on me. She told me she was leaving her husband. I was completely floored. ‘What do you mean you’re leaving your husband?’ That was just one question I had for her. He’s the one who has been funding our lives and escapades to my knowledge. How will we survive without him?

She doesn’t seem to be the least bit concerned. She said we would be fine without his money and that she has a considerable nest egg saved herself. The thing is, I don’t want to be in an actual relationship with my sugar momma, but I am not sure how to tell her that without breaking her heart. Should I let my sugar momma leave her husband for me or break things off with her to encourage her to stay with him?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
