Some would say he should never have confessed, i.e. "What goes on in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas" (attributed to Elvis). I am not you or can think as you do. What I can ask is, "If he is so weak that he must intrude into others' lives, hide his seeming pathological compulsion from you, his proclaimed love, especially for so long- and is only motivated to confess based upon his own guilt and not shame, wishing only to spare himself pain or loss, thinking little, if any, of your obvious dismay, hurt, betrayal and confusion, could you or would you ever trust him? Is he worth the investment of your heart and soul? I can't answer. But my certain conclusion is this that this human needs serious psychological help. No sympathy, refuge, forgiveness or anything beyond the milk of human kindness. And I care not how clever or charming he might be.
