Now I'm not quite as firm in my earlier position. There's a real potential for danger here.
Yah, Shiny, I started a post to Sandra too backpedalling a bit on my "go for the whole truth" stance. Got sidetracked.
I honestly don't know enough about your sitch to be fully confident in my advice -- so take it for what it's worth. Could you tell him the truth in a safe place? (counseling for example)? could you have a safety plan? (a friend's house, etc). I guess I'm still on the truth kick because I think there's little comfort in continuing the lying...particularly since he seems to "know" already.
arrgh. I'm sorry.
