DH says I'm a mug

I was lucky enough to be given a day at a spa as a gift from a grateful client. As I didn't fancy going by myself I changed the spa gift package from a single person's experience with 3 treatments to a day for two people with 2 treatments each so I could take a friend along for company. I was able to use the value of the gift package towards the double spa day but there was some extra to pay as there were now two of us. Let's say my vouchers were £150 and the extra was £100, (total for the day £250) we paid £50 each.
My friend and I split the extra cost 50/50 (she offered to pay the whole difference but I declined as I was already getting a treat and she doesn't have much money)
We've had a fab day today and I got back this evening all excited, invigorated, relaxed etc
DH then has a go at me saying my friend has taken advantage of me, she should've paid all of the extra and I'm a mug. I've told him it was my decision, my gift, my spa day, my friend etc and to please not spoil my experience by finding fault. We have argued as he basically thinks she's a free loader and now we're not speaking.
I'm so upset as it feels like he's trying to spoil the lovely memory of the experience I had and feel he has no right to question how we organised it. I earn my own money btw and pay equally towards all bills etc
So I wondered what other people think? Has my friend taken advantage of me or is my DH being a monumental knob?

Damn you have hit the nail on the head

It's not you it's him. Sorry he's ruined what would have been a lovely day. Stick to your guns and don't back down. I've been here he's just jelous.

He is an arse who just wantscuou to feel crap anytime you have a nice time
It's a control thing you have to pay for your enjoyment because it didn't include him. Doesn't matter if he would have hated it, you got something nice from a client and had fun with a friend he didn't, that pushes him off so to make him feel better he belittles you. Now you are as miserable as him Job done.

Tell him to grow up or fuck.off. I'd is this what you want to happen each time for the rest of your life?

Presumably you enjoyed it more with you friend along, so you both benefited. You sound like a lovely friend.

Sounds great. No, she is definitely not a freeloader! You wanted company and invited her to join you.
