** Mike is a loyal guy and trusts those close to him a lot. He doesn't like hiding truth from them, even if it's for the best. Look at how he felt about "backstabbing" Trevor by dating his ex-Jenny. So by becoming close with Rachael he felt honor bound to be honest with her. That's why he wanted to tell her the truth. He doesn't like basing personal relationships on a lie.
** It may also be a combination of Harvey's HonorBeforeReason tendencies rubbing off on him combined with the events of several episodes making him realize that a lie of this magnitude ''will'' come back to bit him in the butt in a big way. Also, of course, Mike knows how loyal Harvey is to him (at least insofar as risking his job for Mike's) so he may feel an equal obligation to be loyal to Harvey as he does to be truthful to Rachel. If we add in this assumption, then the only real way to meet both obligations is to not date Rachel.

** This may [[FridgeBrilliance also be an early indication that Jessica is willing to mislead people for her own purposes.]] Engaging in an office affair is not (usually) a sacking offence, and has nothing to do with your work. Most law firms wouldn't consider it a big deal. A law firm ''would'' be interested if Jessica had said Monica had engaged in [[ExactWords ethically dubious behaviour.]] Sure, ethically dubious behaviour- ''but not ethically dubious in the eyes of a law firm.'' Jessican could have blacklisted Monica and there would be very little to even say that Jessica was wrong - but she certainly didn't "do the right thing."
