Admittedly I did go behind his back doing some nude modeling because I knew he wouldn't be happy with it, but was going to tell him at some point (the silhouettes on my profile)
I just don't understand why he would do this? I'm completely heartbroken... I don't see what the massive deal is.
I should have told him yes- but to break up with me over it? Am i the only one who thinks he's over reacting?
We were in a very serious relationship for 1.5 years and even had plans of moving in together, getting married etc.
I feel completely distraught. Any models been in the same situation?

Yes! My bf nearly left me too! But I prefer him to nude modeling, I dint reli enjoy continuously being asked for tf nude shoots as I don't want naked pics of me so I just come away worried about my bf finding out. So I changed my page that I only do paid nude as it's not benefiting me as I don't want to be a nude model ever but ppl say ur not professional unless u strip ( I read alot of forums) so did it to have some on my page. Its tasteful but my bf is more unhappy with the men seeing u naked. I understand y he worries, he asks sometime ' how would u feel if I got a camera n went about gettin girls clothes off'? ( wouldnt realy bother me but he'd probs just leave me if I said that)

It's not very good realy to hide it as something always slips. Best be honest and say you have been asked to do art nude, show him that it is tasteful and see what he thinks. I have to be careful as when I applied to purestorm I got confused and my real names on here so any1 can find me naked, already found a mate in stow who's seen n id wana shut down and open a new page under a new name as bf will deffo leave!

You should do what makes you happy! I personally think hes over reacting, he should be proud of whatever you try especially modelling... what guy wouldnt love to say their girlfriends a model!
He is probably more upset at not knowing and probably not really knowing what goes down at photoshoots or the photographers intentions.
Maybe if you apologize for not telling him the truth and invite him on your next nude photoshoot to show him he has nothing to worry about may put him at ease
Hope the broken heart mends soon ... if not invite a bit of ben and jerrys in your life!

I dont want to sound like a patronising father, but this smells of immaturity.

To be honest, i probably would have thought the same when i was later teens early 20's, but now (at 43) i couldnt give a stuff.

I know its easier said than done, but try not to let it upset you too much, its his loss not yours.
He is obviously (and rightfully) wanting you for himself and feels as though he is sharing you as if you have been unfaithful as he hasnt grasped the whole concept of modelling.

I would question how much he loved you in the first place, as no matter what is thrown at you both you should work through it if you are both strong together.

When you are young relationships and lovers come and go, and hearts are broken. Its all part of life and growing up.

Today it will be nude modelling, tomorrow it will be he doesnt like you doing lingerie or swimsuit, next week it will be he doesnt like you modelling at all. Before you know it you have stopped doing what you enjoy, just to please others.

He'll either come round to your way of thinking or it's "next". plenty more fish in the sea.

At our age (I'm 24) things are always changing and even the best laid plans go down the drain.
I'm in a long distance relationship and it involves a lot of trust, I don't like it if my girlfriend lies about anything, even something small.
If I got to the point where I couldn't trust her then I'd dump her too, even though we have been going out for 3 years.

I must be very lucky. My husband has been supportive of my nude modelling and my daughter is 13 and although she has never seen any of my nude pictures, she has a very grown up attitude. I explained to my family of three kids and one hubby wha I was doing and they were amazed and pleased.
You have to follow what you want to do. I always have and it's sometimes the best way to go. If he is not able to respect you for that then let it go. There maybe something, someone better waiting around the corner.

Sarge pretty much nailed it really....though I'm sure its scant comfort at the moment. Relationships and nude modelling....or indeed any modelling is based on trust, its never a good idea to break that trust. Its far better to try to get a partner to get involved so that its kinda like a shared experience, after a while it wont be an issue.
As RedChecker says it's his problem not yours.

It's all very well everyone here saying stuff but I bet it feels like Fox2006 is a naughty person at the moment, the problem is you need to stand up for what you want....whatever that is.
