So, I somehow applied that on my sentence. However, I clearly see your point, and I think I have a few sentences that would perfectly work with the present perfect continuous + ever since. Thanks for shedding light on the tense issue. | |

I rejected him the moment he came clean..., not have rejected. If you want to make his coming clean the starting point of your ongoing rejecting then you can use the perfect with "ever since": I have been rejecting his advances ever since the moment he came clean... | |
