Yes. The lying doesn't protect you at all. I'm sure that's why he is doing it, because he can't bear to tell you outright what he is doing. He feels guilty about it. But he may as well because you find out anyway. And if what he does emabarrasses him, then the only way to cure it is to stop what he is doing. I hope that now that he knows about your personal battle, he will rethink the crappy way that he treats you. You aren't Elizabeth Edwards by any chance, are you?
