Knowingly taken false oath in the name of Allah...after 10 months of marriage i started finding guilty and wanted to tell my past to my husband

Question

I'm a 22 year old married woman, I love my husband very much. I had a realtion with one boy earlier which lasted only for a month, in that time he had approached me sexually, but still i was a virgin, it repeated 5 times. then I overcomed that and i ended up that relation, after sometime i got a proposal and got married, i was happily living with my husband, but after 10 months of marriage i started finding guilty and wanted to tell my past to my husband, i started but it ended up in a lie, now i know that if i say the truth , i'll loose my husband. I had to take a false oath on Allah too. I did Tawbah, but what all should i do for rependence, Now i'm in a way to become a true muslim, and i don't want any sin to come to my husband as he is thinking that i gave him a true promise in the name of allah. I don't want to disclose this truth as it'll ruin my family, I'm helpless, i want my husband. Please advise, May Allah bless all Thank You

Answer

You do not have to divulge your past to your husband. You will not be sinful for that.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
