As you can see, I revealed nothing that you hadn't already revealed to the list. Though your comment was cryptic, so was mine. I figured the reason you wouldn't like what I said was because it's so typical to assume that the male controls the female. In fact, this game is played the other way just as often.
I know you didn't want the news to come out like this. I feel bad that it worked out this way.

No, he didn't. He's conning you (and presumably himself). Check out his latest post on the topic. He's learned nothing.
You should have stated, when you were sticking up for him, that the two of you have a personal relationship. Now, at least, your motivation is clear.
