I had the unfortunate experience of casually dating a woman who did not disclose her status, and ended up convincing me (against my original wishes) to enter into a committed relationship with her. I told her how my previous relationship damaged my ability to trust.

I sensed there was something off. I warned her that she should tell me anything she was hiding from me, or I would find it and she would regret it. She laughed in my face.

So, I stole / dumped the contents of her digital life on the floor, and discovered that she had been working as a sex worker the entire time I was dating her.

This was 6 years ago. She knows that I know what I know, and that I haven’t told anyone in her family. She knows that I can destroy the fake life she’s built around lies in a matter of a few key strokes and mouse clicks. She waits...day in and day put.

So yes, you do need to disclose something like this, if you don’t want your life to be constantly overshadowed by something stupid you didn’t do., waiting for it to all collapse like a house of cards.

you know that any guy who is going on a date with you, would want to know that information to make an informed decision. If you choose to hide something like this from him, and he finds out, its on you what he does next
