Dear GC Readers,
I have a dilemma which my means leaving my man, and I really don’t know what to do. I’ve been trying for a few years to work as a model and finally after many low paying modelling jobs my agency have got me an opportunity to model for a very big brand.
The only problem is I have to pose in a bikini with a male model and of course my boyfriend of three years is not accepting it at all. I tried to talk to him and even said I would see if I could get him to be on set so he could see how harmless it will be.
I have to let my agency know this week if I will sign the contract and he has given me an ultimatum that if I take the job its over. I feel so under pressure and I would be so gutted if I let this one go as I will have to start all over again.
Modelling is all I have, it’s all I know and am good at. If I turn this down my agency will not get me anymore work but I truly love my boyfriend. I just don’t know what to do.
Thanks, Jackie.

Dear Jackie,
While I would always advise to ensure that you have secured career plans to suit you, if you’re in a long term relationship that has potential for the future it’s not as easy as just doing things that only work for you.
I’m sure you think your man is being selfish, controlling and unreasonable but ask yourself if your man was a model and had to do what your’re being asked to do, would feel at ease with this? This will give you an idea of how he is feeling and how best to figure out a compromise, if there is one.
I would assume your man is aware of your passion to do this and how much effort you have put into making this happen. Has he clarified his main issue?
I’m guessing it’s about the male model and lack of clothing? Or is he worried about the type of work you will end up doing next if he says he is supporting you with this one?
No one is saying don’t be a model but are you taking this job because of it’s potential or because it’s the first major job. If you are comfortable doing this kind of work and you have no issue then I would not say you should give up the job but ask yourself this;
If this job doesn’t turn into any other major job will you have regrets giving up your relationship and vice versa?
