Hi everyone, I received from the Spirit a message that I thought I should confess a past sin to my husband. I prayed about it for long I didn't want to confess it I thought it would hurt him too much. But the prompting kept coming up. I finally did it and it hurt him so much. He said to me that he would've been happy to have gone through his whole life without knowing. I am so sad that I hurt him I feel terrible and need answers from God. Why did He lead me to do this it damaged my marriage

The best to know is now is the time of the antichrist deceiver denier, of Jesus Christ, come in the flesh.
How do we overcome a world of lies, by truth.
If the world advises us to stay quiet, to not confess, we now know why, it wants us to be of the pride of life, and to deny the Son and the Father through it.
If we make that true confession with the Lord, the world is overcome, the antichrist spirit of error is overcome, it is the only thing to do, which pleases the Father confesses Christ ( the truth) and denies darkness ( the devil) instead.
1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Ephesians 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

This is very well put.
Essentially what I was trying to communicate, only clearer.
We know if the Spirit gives us the correct message, He is the Spirit of truth. He dwells in us and is with us to bring comfort.
The Spirit of truth came, and guides us into all truth, and He does speak, what He hears, and shows us things to come.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

You can't built a marriage based on lies and sins. It is like putting a band-aid on a infected wound. What the Holy Spirit did was the right thing. By confessing to your husband you pulled the band-aid and you poured alcohol over the infected wound to clean it. Of course it hurts. It is expected to hurt the same way as when you put alcohol over an open wound but it's good for you in the long term. You can start building your marriage on stable foundation now. It will take time and effort but it's worthed.

Not telling your spouse something isn’t a lie. Since the outcome is one of damage and wounding, it’s not likely the Holy Spirit. It’s likely she felt guilty and wanted relief. It was a burden she didn’t want to bear alone. If she loses her marriage, it will be absolutely clear it wasn’t the Holy Spirit but her guilty spirit seeking relief.
Not confessing the truth is a lie.
The truth is when we do not have lies within us, as they are not within God.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Is it? Or is it something else?
God did NOT TELL the ancient Israelites all the stuff in the New Testament. That is all true and since God lives apart from time, already knew it.
By your definition God lied to Moses and the Hebrew prophets by not telling the whole truth.

No it is not by definition. You have to speak to tell something.
Jesus was silent before his accusors.
Making is not being silent.
Making is not silence.
Confession of the truth, is when we have the Spirit of truth, to confess truth with. ( Moses and the prophets confessed they were strangers and pilgrims in the earth.)
Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Now we make the same confession, that we are strangers and pilgrims in the earth. ( to make the true confession, is to stay away from the lusts of the flesh.)
1 Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
We confess from our spirit, soul, heart and mind, to God, what we are on this earth.
Jesus was silent before false accusers, confession of God is before honesty.
Making a lie is conceiving it within us:
James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Confession is to remove anything from being conceived within us.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
