Dear MIMsters: My husband has been disrespectful to my mother because of this…

My husband and I have not been in good terms and he has been disrespectful to my mother since 6 days now.

It started on Friday when I asked him for the money he withdrew from my account. The money belongs to my mum who came to our place because I just had a baby. Someone sent the money from her own Diamond bank account into my Diamond bank account for my mum because she found it easier than transferring it into my mother’s First bank account.

Since my hubby is mostly with my ATM card which he sometimes uses, I had to inform him so he won’t withdrawal it thinking it’s mine.

3 weeks ago, my hubby took the money because he needed it urgently and promised to give me back. Two weeks ago, I reminded him of the money because my mum will be leaving for her sister’s place soon. He said he will give me later and I kept reminding him.

Last week, my mom said she will be going to her sister place at Berger and she needed the money. When hubby came back, I told him and he did not reply me. On Friday morning, I told him about the money and he said he has no money with him. I was really angry because that wasn’t the first day I requested for the money. He said I should tell my mother that there’s no money in the account again which I cannot. I got upset. When my mom was set to go, he gave me my card and told my mom that before she gets to Berger, someone will transfer the money. My mom got to Berger by 11:30am and called me that there was no money yet. I called hubby and he said she should have patience. I did not get the alert for about an hour plus and mom kept calling with anger. I called hubby back then and he said something like it’s only my family that I know, that I should not disturb him. I received the alert around 1:15pm. That was when mom was able to continue her journey.

Since then, my husband has not been talking with us as usual. I am angry because I feel he insulted my mom by sending her to the park without giving her back her money, keeping her waiting at the park, and he’s not even remorseful. Now, due to his behaviour these days, my mom wants to leave because she is uncomfortable. He doesn’t greet her, neither does he talk to me either.

How do I handle this?
