I take it he is in reality a total top who has tried to be versatile to suit your needs?
If so, he most likely has discovered that he cannot (not unwilling, unable - big difference) to live up to that.
It is a shame you two cannot talk about sex in an adult way, meaning sit down and openly discuss wants and needs and find a middle ground here.
Yes, maybe a couples counselor will help you both to discover a means to seriously talk about what it is when it comes to your preferred role in bed without shame, without worrying about rejection and whatever else is at play here.
Unfortunately there is this growing myth out in the scene where if a guy makes it clear that he is X looking for Y that this means he is looking for 'just sex'. Unfortunately when dealing with all men where the role can land up being anything, making it clear from the start is kind of important.
Its not like straight relationships were its pretty clear who will be on top and who will be on the bottom due to the mechanics involved. So we deny ourselves this honest evaluation of a potential relationship hoping that it will resolve itself.
This is further made complicated in that humans are deceptive creatures. They believe that they can pretend to be something they are not and actually believe they can be X when the fact of the matter is that they cannot are not and most likely will not be anything other than what they are. The fear of losing out or being rejected and 'settling' for what seems hopeful leads to this internal and external deception.
Brace yourself and consider that the potential here is your husband is predominately a top who really isn't into being a bottom. You being versatile may be the only one here capable of doing the giving on this particular front.
I doubt he lied on purpose 3 years ago. This sort of thing isn't really a willful sort of lie, its an emotional lie, a hope to be that which our mate may want, and often enough we try, but also often enough we fail to live up to these expectations.
I do strongly suggest you get into couples counseling NOW - don't put it off for any reason, the longer you put it off, the greater the resentments will become and the more work you will have to weed through those resentments.
There are solutions, no doubt, but neither of you may like those solutions 100% and will have to find compromises and work on this.
