Wow, it's understandable that he'd be hurt that you kept the rape from him, BUT on the other hand I expected for you to say that he was way more compassionate & understanding than he actually ended up being. He shouldn't understood the dynamic of rape & that alot of rape victims actually hold their silence not only from their partners, but from their families/friends too.
This guy has trust issues period. Sure, you might've provoked some of his insecurities by lying to him a few times, BUT don't fool yourself into believing that you're somehow the entire blaim for his trust issues. Yes, he can get back on the road to trusting you again if you stop lying to him BUT even better, would be the day he sorts out all the issues he has with trust within HIMSELF.
You 2 probably need to take a short break. He's being mean & really harsh right now b/c that's his defense mechanism. He's trying so hard to make it seem like he's done with you & that he's over you b/c he's really not. He knows he needs to move on (even though it's probably too hard right now) so his only way to do so is to 1. Distance himself from you & 2. Make you feel like crap while he's doing so.
Just leave him alone for awhile. I know it's hard but if you want to save the relationship, love him ENOUGH to give him some space & breathing room so you can allow him to think about whether or not a relationship with you is really worth it or something he wants.
To you, those lies may have been petty or something done to protect his feelings, BUT to someone who has serious trust issues, those lies were the equivalent as/of you cheating on him or stabbing him with a knife. So understand that right now is NOT the time to try rushing back into things with him just b/c you can't take being alone or w/o him. You 2 need to talk things out & work out the crinkles before you jump back into a commitment with eachother. And if saving the relationship is what really matters most, you'll do whatever you have to do to preserve it. And trust me, giving him his space & working on YOU in the process is the way to go
Yes I understand the consequences it would have on his family but the truth is:
If being with me will make him realize that he enjoys his wife better, than all the better, I will have brought something positive onto him.
If on the contrary, it makes him realize that he no longer wants to be with her??_than I will not be the one to bring this upon him??_because even he decides to stay with me and I break up with him??_he won??t return with her??_If he did??_then he would be the bastard not I.
You're trying soooooo fu*king hard to justify this to yourself. Somewhere inside that head of yours YOU KNOW what you're doing is wrong yet you keep trying soooooooooo hard to justify it to yourself to the point where the reasons you use are completely PANTS. ON. HEAD. retarded.
Are you familiar with the phrase "whatever helps you sleep at night"?
You're taking it to a new extreme.

Nope. I don't become truly aroused until after I get to know someone better.

We have a small office, so--if things were to end on their own between he and his girlfriend, and we decided to give things a try, it would be nothing.
People already make comments about the looks we give each other, and they think it's adorable (even though I'm mortified that my poker face apparently fails to convince).
It wouldn't be a problem, and we both value our paychecks enough not to lose our everlovin' minds if things went bad. We are really dedicated to our jobs, and get very serious about our work, so it would not interfere.
