 Such an interesting situation and seems like a good guy. Sadly,  Ihave no suggestions for resources other then Dan Savage  - he always has good links and books to suggest. However, I would expect this fellow already knows about him?

Hi friends,
I got this email yesterday from the partner of a sex worker and he is asking for resources. I will, of course, invite him to join The Naked Truth group on Facebook, but wondering if any of you have other suggestions I can pass on?
Any help is much appreciated and I thank you for being a community I can tap into when someone asks me a hard question. ;)

His email:
"I was just reading info on TheNakedTruth (found via a link at the PEERS Victoria site), and though I'd ask a couple of questions. 
I am a male partner of a female sex worker (incall-only, agency-represented full-service). I am absolutely supportive of her choice to work in the industry. We each have certain boundaries, of course, like anyone in any kind of relationship may have, but the nature of sex work can sometimes blur the lines and lead to conflict. 
My partner is and always has been very respectful of our "rules". I, too, consider and respect them at all times. They have evolved out of practicality through trial and error, since she began work. 
My partner has been working for just four months, on average three days per week. She generally enjoys the work, but the sheen is definitely wearing off, and she is looking to write a viable exit plan that will leave her with enough money to finish her degree debt-free.  She hopes to shortly reduce her involvement to just occasional in-calls with a few of her established regulars, no more scheduled shifts and and no more new clients.  Her long-term plan is to walk-away from the industry completely before graduation. I am doing whatever I can to help her meet her goals. 
I am looking to chat, blog, or otherwise interact with other partners/boyfriends/husbands/wives of sex workers, in the interest of better navigating the sometimes complicated aspects of maintaining a n emotionally/intellectually monogamous relationship wherein one partner has sex with others on a regular basis. 
Do you know of any resources or individuals who might be open to dialogue?"

Kindest regards,
