I just recently turned 30 and as a gift my parents gave me a few hundred dollars with a card that says to "pamper myself." I was really excited because as a stay at home mom to a 3 yo and a 1yo, I've been either pregnant or breastfeeding for the last 4 years. I haven't even had the time to get a proper haircut. I told my husband about the gift and how excited I was to use it. I left it magnetted inside the card in the envelope on the fridge.
I went to use the money yesterday and it was gone. At first I freaked out because I thought my 3yo had somehow gotten it down, even though it was way out of reach. I called my husband and he point blank told me he spent it on a golf club. He basically said that he earns the money so he has a right to all the money the house. He hung up on me when I got upset.
He came home and I tried to tell him how I felt about it. By the end of the conversation, I was apologizing to him for not offering him the money before I made plans for it. Now this morning I'm feeling confused and hurt and like my thoughts got twisted around. I feel like that was my money to spend and I deserved to spend it how I wanted. Its not like my husband never gets to treat himself, he just went on a week long trip with his college buddies last month.
I'm not sure if I'm overreacting or being selfish. I don't know how to approach this with my husband either because I'm worried that he will make me more confused. Am I in the wrong here?
TLDR my husband spent my birthday money on a golf club
