Hidden Fortune - AITA For Keeping A Big Secret From My Boyfriend

As my boyfriend and I delved into a deep discussion about our finances, I found myself grappling with a dilemma I hadn't anticipated. It was a moment of vulnerability where I felt compelled to reveal a significant event from my past: winning a substantial sum of money fifteen years ago. This windfall had been pivotal in shaping my life, allowing me to pursue higher education, secure a home, and build a foundation for my future.

However, as the words left my lips, I sensed a shift in the air—a palpable tension that hung between us. My boyfriend's reaction was unexpected; he felt blindsided and betrayed by my omission. Now, in the aftermath of this revelation, I'm left questioning my actions and wondering if I was in the wrong for keeping this financial secret hidden from him for so long.
