I'm pretty devastated. I suspected for months, but finally have proof. She has an amazing cover up "real job" and support network so undoubtedly she'll be rich someday. I just couldn't handle knowing. Oh well. Be safe out there ladies!

It's why I've been single or that I have dated in the past men who were former clients who were single, but even THEY started to have issues with my work, so my decision to remain single is a wise one. I'm happier than I've ever been, and working as I do, I simply had to admit to myself I did not have the emotional or spiritual energy to have a relationship AND be a provider.
I just feel that it's best for a woman to be honest. If it means the guy can't handle it, at least she told him up front. And if he can handle it and is okay with it, then even better. Very few relationships except IMHO a very secure one without jealousy and with full comfortableness with each other can withstand the unique pressures and attributes of being a provider.
I knew a couple who were BOTH providers...the man worked as a male escort to rich ladies and his wife a provider for a service. They had a great relationship and are together to this day, sometimes working together as a couple. But that's very rare. And it's also enviable in many ways.
Again, am sorry to hear about you finding out without her being honest. Best of luck to you.
