Why not just buy traffic? This SE is very unpredictable at best and lately it has gone to shit, nobody gives antything out for free anymore, you should include this in your business model.
As far as your girlfriend, dude if your business model for adult includes naggy girlfriend complaining about your spending too much time paying the bills, with all due respect you are in the wrong business or with the wrong girl. time to choose.
But glancing over me ( and I don't know anything about your sites or such) you're taking a huge chance just hiring some seo nowadays on a promise especially if you're considering leaving the business..
maybe post your sites, someone might have better suggestion to you as far as what you can do.good luck anyways
...excuse the typos I'm a little tipsy
