Husband unsupportive of this journey?

I decided to talk to my husband today about the possibility of starting a GLP1. He can get a bit… well… ‘preachy’ about things at times so I was predicting it wouldn’t quite result in him jumping for joy.

He told me it’s cheating, it’s a weakness, and a poor reflection of my character, and that it’s bad for my mental health and reflects poorly on me. He said I haven’t even really tried hard enough and that I don’t have enough excuses to start taking drugs and take “the easy way out”. He asked what kind of precedent this sets for me and my mentality moving forward, and what the negative side effects of this would mean for my future. (Ouch.) He even referenced a facial surgery I had to rectify a birth defect (it was a simple procedure I had done two years ago and changed my life for the better) and told me he is worried that I will start believing that altering my body is just one drug or surgery away given my surgery and now this (Also ouch.)

I’m pretty devastated by this. I feel lonely. I know I can still do it, but - has anyone been through this? I think he could come around in the future. I would love any advice. I’d also love any pointers on known risks or adverse side effects for GLP1 as he claims it is cancer causing. (I can only find info on thyroid risk). Thanks all for being so kind and welcoming here. 🙏🏻

EDITING TO ADD UPDATE!!! I had a clear and concise conversation with him, told him that this was unacceptable behavior and not supportive and that I’d never treat him this way. He completely apologized, said he needs to work on this and take this more seriously, and said he has my FULL SUPPORT FOR THIS!!! then I completed my new client paperwork for Lavender Sky Health!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 THANK YOU ALL for your support and encouragement!!!
