Yep. I lied by omission, which is still lying or holding back. I did so because I did not feel safe or trust him enough to 'come clean'. When I did talk to him about this, he freaked out and was super upset for his own reasons, which made me feel worse. He had then phoned me for an hour and told me his version of how I felt then hung up on me!!! He was more angry that I did not feel safe than about the actual serious issue at hand and what those implications were. Meaning, he was more concerned with how it effected him, not me; like he was insulted. He then said we need to talk about this at every session and guess what, he never brought it up again or forgot. He really did not care about the "me" part of this issue. I brought it up way down the line again and he yelled at me for not bringing it up to talk about it, as if that was my sole responsibility. He shifted the blame onto me. I called him out on this and he in turn LIED to me, making up a story about why he never brought up my 'secret' again.
