Husband told lies about me [[Updated]]

Has anyone been in a situation where your husband told people lies about you? Not small lies. First he told his friends that I cheated. We argued and then made up and moved on. A while later he I think accidentally told me that he told his friends I want him to pay all the bills while I keep my money to myself. They of course believed it and then bad mouthed me. I feel like this is a big deal and not normal but also I don't understand the reasoning. I'm very concerned. I've never heard of this. What happened if this happened to you?

**Thanks for the responses. I did not get clarity on this money thing for a few days. Today I finally was able to. It was a misunderstanding based on a conversation we had about finances. Instead of asking me for clarification he went to his friends about his concerns. In the past he was in a relationship with someone where he paid all the bills while she went on vacations and shopping trips and cheated on him. He told me this years ago and reminded me today. He did apologize and say it wasn't my fault but that he was legit scared. It makes sense to me and I'm willing to forgive him.
