Dc went on holiday with family last week, I have dh £70 to give family member for dc spending money, family member text saying they told dh to keep the money but thanks for the offer etc it's been 4 days and dh has never mentioned it nor have I seen the money, I didn't say anything at the time because I thought he might of just forgot but he's been in his wallet for shopping petrol etc and hasn't said a word to me, I don't want to look like I'm accusing him but dunno what to do?

You seem reluctant to bring up the subject of money because he has been dishonest about it in the past. You need to take control of it or you will always end up suspicious, no way to have a marriage.

He may have genuinely forgotten. Why not ask him about it. Get it into the open.

What's the problem? Just ask if he's put it back in the DC's money bank?

Can you not just casually ask him if he remembered to put the kids money back in their pot since the family member didn't want it.
