Am I the jerk for not telling my fiance I used to work as an escort?

I'm a 35-year-old female, I just got engaged, I've been with him for over two years and he's

amazing. And I think he'd be a great father to my children. There is, however, a secret that I

haven't revealed. About three years ago, before I met him, I briefly worked as an escort.

It wasn't long, about four months, and I don't have some sob story about how I felt abused and

exploited because frankly I didn't. Like any job, it had its good parts and its bad parts.

I don't have some dramatic story about escaping it. I stopped simply because I didn't want to do

it anymore. I didn't require a therapy or rehab, I just moved on and got a normal job.

I have been regularly tested and I have no STIs nor do I have any emotional scars from it,

so I told myself it's now no one else's business because it won't impact any other relationships.

However, it feels wrong, I can't share this. He wants to ask how many partners I had and I

simply said a lot. And told him the technical truth, that I was prolific in one point in my life,

but no longer am and don't intend to do so. I'm still scared to potentially ruin a great thing if

I reveal it, but I'm also not looking forward to keeping this a secret for the rest of my life.

Am I the jerk for keeping this a secret? The fact that someone would even be asking the question

on whether or not they should bring this up to their fiance makes it pretty obvious that they

know their fiance would want to know about this. And if your fiance or whoever you're about to be

committed to for life would specifically want to know about this and you know they do because

you're having this dilemma, then how could you not tell them? She's not looking forward to

keeping this a secret for the rest of her life, so it's better to just be open and up front like

you can probably assume that he's trying to be instead of dropping this on him 10 years

since the relationship and then having it be an explosive thing where you hit something that was
