to think this is not a career choice of a decent person?

DH has played around with tarot since he was a teenager. Always out most when he's feeling stressed, unsure of future etc.

I don't have any issue with and think they can be quite fun/diverting but mean absolutely nothing.

He was made redundant a couple of months ago, and the tarot have become almost a permanent fixture, which I sort of understand. But now he's talking about trying to turn it into a business - premium phoneline schtick - and has done quite a lot of detailed research.

I hate this idea with a passion, and am not sure I want to be with a man who thinks it's ok to prey on what I see as others' vulnerabilities. And for some reason the phoneline thing seems worse that a face/face reading.

He says I'm a 'stuck-up prig' to object. Am I?

Thanks ilove, passed it on.

Now I think I'll just see how it goes and only interfere if he starts channelling Sam in a broad scouse accent

I agree that the tarot can be read in a very open, positive way - suggesting things that people might want to think about and so on - and I can't see that there's much ethical objection to that. and I'm normally quite picky.

YABU - am glad you met iLOVE on here and have set your man up with possible new enjoyable & lucrative career. I have a female friend who's boyfriend runs a gay chatline, he keeps male porn all over the house as he he monitors the ads he places. She was mortified by it but he enjoys working from home, earns a good living and can bask in reflected glow of lots of happy gay couples that met through his phonelines.

Of course you could have said the same about his service - preying on the lonely, potential to put vulnerable in harm's way etc. However, I think you have to assume grown adults can take responsibility for their own actions.
