if you choose to have a wedding, then it gives you time to prepare for the wedding and pubilicy states your intention to marry. It also publicy states you are not romantically availble to anyone else. It is an act of good faith.

Technically you could decide to get married and go to city hall the next day for the marriage liscense and be set. No need for the engagement, although some might suggest that the time between deciding to get married and actually getting married, even in a matter of days, could be seen as a period of engagement.

How do you deal with having a secret with an engaged man?

Well, how would you deal with it if you were engaged to that man now and the other woman had the same secret you have. What makes you think he's worth having a secret with if he's not willing to break it off with the engaged woman. What makes you think he won't have another secret with another woman if you get engaged with him. He has a secret with you, why not another woman. Seriously, think about it, he's keeping the secret from his engaged woman now, there really is no reason he wouldn't do the same again with you, right.
