Dont you dare tell him. The 3K your mum sent to you should be a lesson. You are really in a bad situation and you may not realize it. You are not married to him in a way recognized by the country you reside in. He is still in a subsisting marriage. You have no rights. You have no papers. You have no job with the guaranteed job security. He does not want you to take up any job or handicrafts. He can deal with you and you could be badly hurt, stranded or even deported. Please leave that money as a nest egg. Do not ever let him know about it because it will come in very handy if there is any challenge in the future. All the best. Reply
