I'm not quite sure what you mean here - he tells Tav exactly why he didn't open up before their night together, and it wasn't because of trust. Are you saying he's lying, or is this a 'What if?' rewrite of his motivations?

Note that he's perfectly willing to trust a non-romanced (or ex-romanced, if you deny him sexy times) Tav without sleeping with them.

It seems my ignorance is showing. After more digging, I did find a video that shows the offending lines in question and I now have a better understanding of the situation. That certainly sours my view of him, but I will have to think about it further. Habit twists my arm into trying to dissect as much as I can to better understand a character from as many angles as possible (being an English/Lit. major and whatnot). My suggestion came from a flawed understanding of what was there, and that came back to bite me in the ass (should have seen it coming). Perhaps my own romantic side/empathy is making it harder for me to see what needs to be seen, but we still have a whole story ahead of us yet.
