I once had a situation, by far less dramatic, but where the question came up, is it a lie or not? It was about a socializing-get-to-know-afternoon date. She went with another guy without telling me that she decided not to meet me. I've forgotten about the specific circumstances, but what I do remember is, that I spent quite some time thinking of questions that I could ask her to find out what happened or prove to her that she had lied to me as an accuse. I was confident that some well chosen questions would trigger the truth to come out. But that imagined outcome wouldn't calm me. What gave me relief finally, was the simple question: Apart from the potential lie - Was this the way I want to be treated, was this the way I want to interact with her? And the answer was a very clear no.

A girl I've been seeing on and off told me that her ex-husband raped her while they were married, 2 days after child birth, when she had sutures and was still really sore. I felt all those feelings that Alex described - shock, sadness, a desire to protect and shelter her. She said she really didn't want to talk about it further. So I told her that I would never raise this again but that I would always be ready to listen. I don't know if there's anything else I could have / can do.
