I’ve fucked everything up

I’ve been with him for almost 16 years, married seven. We have two small children and a wonderful life.

I was getting really down about my weight after the summer and secretly arranged to start ozempic. I hid it because I knew it would be a flat no from him and I wanted to do it any way (which is obviously very selfish of me), I’ve never hid anything before. I did it for around three months, then when he asked me about it one day (if I was taking it) I lied to his face and said I’d only tried it once. Right then I stoped and felt truly terrible, but hoped we would would just move past it, I promised myself to never be such a twat ever again. I don’t know why I lied but after I did I felt I couldn’t go back as it would only be worse, and I essentially ended up fucking gas lighting him. Which makes me a truly terrible person, and I’m shocked I was even capable
of it.

Any way, he found out today, saw it all on my online banking. He is (rightly) distraught, I feel like I’ve sleep walked into fucking up his life, our kids lives and my life.

I don’t really know why I’m posting, will we ever be able to recover from this? I haven’t been able to stop crying I just can’t believe I’ve been so stupid.

It’s the lying he’s so upset with. Which to be fair I think is valid. Not only did I hide it all and sneak around to begin with but I then outright lied to his face. I don’t think he’ll ever be able trust me again.

It’s also thrown up things from the past, like he came out tonight and asked I cheated on him when we’re teenagers when I went back packing on my own…wtf?! (I have never), but now say he doesn’t believe me and I guess I don’t really have a leg to stand on.

Well this is totally wrong, he is now bringing up the past and now calling you a cheat because you lied about paying and taking a medication that YOU paid for and YOU wanted because of your struggles with weight? 🤦🏼‍♀️ you told him a white lie because you didn't want the arguments and the shit he was going to throw at you for it? Like what the hell is wrong with this man? Having a massive bitch fit because YOU wanted to take a medication to control YOUR weight and it being YOUR body he now throws out that he can't trust you and doesn't believe you for things you have said in the past.... yeah that over reaction and behaviour is not ok by the way.

It’s massively expensive - I’d certainly expect a veto if my husband wanted to start paying hundreds of pounds a month for something.
But then we are a shares all finances couple not a this is my percentage and this yours couple.

A so-called partner telling me “We can’t afford it” when I have earned the bloody money would be a deal breaker for me.

How did he not see them in the fridge?

I can honestly say most men I know don’t see what they’re actually looking for in the fridge, never mind something they’re not.
