Partner blabbing my meds!

So, I started on a GLP-1 a bit ago, and I made my partner promise not to tell anyone. I wanted to be the one to decide when and if I shared that info. They've blabbed my personal stuff before, and they've also made comments about my size in the past that really hurt. Like, when we first met, they said I looked bigger in person than in my profile pics. I was mortified.

Well, today they told a friend about another med I'm on (in front of me!), and when I got upset, they admitted they already told their sister about the GLP-1. I'm beyond angry. Am I overreacting?
 
Time to bail. This won't be the last time they violate your privacy, whether it's about a weight loss drug or something else.
 
My brother is the same way, he can't keep a secret to save his life. I've learned to keep things from him.
 
My husband has loose lips too... if I tell him something, everyone knows. I've learned to keep my mouth shut around him now, sadly.
 
Don't let anyone tell you you’re being dramatic. The fact that you had to 'beg' them not to tell people screams that there's manipulation going on. Red flags everywhere. 🚩🚩🚩
 
Yeah, I'm realizing I just can't trust them with certain stuff. Some people are just over-sharers. I guess I should have seen it coming. I might just tell them I stopped taking it and do my own thing on the side.
 
You're right to be upset, especially since you asked them not to tell. But it sounds like your partner is the kind of person who just can't hold back the gossip. That's a problem that'll definitely cause more issues down the road. I've been there, trust me.
 
Two people now, after you specifically asked them not to.

This is a huge breach of trust. It makes you wonder what else they'd be willing to share. What if it was something serious, like a major illness? Would they respect your privacy then?

Personally, I'd reconsider the relationship if it weren't serious. But if you're stuck, you'll have to keep them in the dark. It's not the best way to live, but it's better than having your secrets broadcast to the world.
 
Your partner sounds pretty shallow. They probably can't wait to have a 'skinny' partner instead of someone 'bigger'. It says a lot about their character.

You don't owe anyone details about your medical stuff. A good partner should respect that.

My advice? Start planning your exit strategy now.
 
If you have to beg someone to keep your medical info private, that's a form of abuse. They're using your weight and health against you. He's an adult, he should know better. If he can't control himself, he shouldn't be in a relationship. He's basically telling you he can't be trusted, which is a basic requirement for a partnership. He's manipulating you into thinking you're being unreasonable. It's not okay to treat someone you supposedly love like that. If he slipped up once and apologized, that's one thing, but he's proving he doesn't care about your feelings and can't be trusted. This isn't a healthy relationship.
 
You deserve a partner who values and respects you, and who you can trust completely. I hope you find peace.

That sucks. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but if someone repeatedly ignored my requests to keep my personal life private, I'd be done. Your partner should be the one person you can trust with anything. Just my two cents.
 
I've noticed a weird thing since I started losing weight...

They then admitted to me that the only time they’ve ever done this is that they told their sister I am on Ozempic.

It seems like everyone is silent about it. I've dropped like 4 sizes, and my sister hasn't said *anything*. She knows I was pre-diabetic too! Is she jealous or something?

It's possible she feels superior because she lost weight the 'natural' way, or she's heard some scary stories about GLP-1s and is worried. People can be weird about weight loss, especially when meds are involved.
 
It's crazy the lack of conversation sometimes.

I thought with all the weight I've lost there would be many long discussions with friends and such about how I did it, what it was like and so on. I imagined enough so that it'd get tiresome talking about it.

I thought people would be asking me questions constantly too but I can't get anyone to talk about it!
 
we lost power for 3 weeks and yeah, the heat and humidity are brutal on meds. keep vials in a garage fridge if you can - same idea as a mail truck or ups truck in summer heat. freezer for long-term storage, fridge side for what you're using.
