I Just Found Out My Girlfriend of 3 Years Just Started Working for a “Topless Maid Service” Website.?

Question by Gillaume: I just found out my girlfriend of 3 years just started working for a “topless maid service” website.?
I’m not going to post the name of the website but she’s on their profile of “maids” using a pseudonym.

I was so infuriated that I left her last night and threatened to tell her family and everyone we know. Also, I found out that she’s back to doing and abusing prescription drugs, which ended almost a yearlong sobriety for her.

Please help me. I feel betrayed. I’m angered. I’m hurt. I’m confused. I’m going crazy in my mind her. She has ignored all of my plead for her to stop what she’s doing and get help. And I’m pretty sure that this “topless maid-cleaning” website is just a front for prostitution/escort service.
