Husband not telling me about large purchases

First time posting... but have no one to ask. I don't know what to do.

My marriage is not in a good place and I know my husband is not telling me the truth about certain things. One being about spending. We are barely making ends meet and last year, and I saw he bought 4 tickets to a show that I know we could not afford (then or now) - The envelope the tickets arrived in was open and I was home to receive the post, so I had a peak... I kept quiet about it thinking maybe it was a surprise... the show is tomorrow and I have ask him repeatedly if he had plans tomorrow or if he was meeting friends... and he tells me nothing. Either he's forgotten about this purchase or what ever plans he had fell through. I really want to confront him, but not sure how to do it... I really pains me that he spends that kind of money when we don't have extra money to spend of those luxuries. And I know he has lied to me before about other things... our marriage is strained as it is, and I feel these lies/not being open about money is putting more strain on our relationship... (among other things that I wont get into now) - So do I confront him? if so how?

Ffs just ask him. This is ridiculous.

Just ask him otherwise u may never know.

Asked... and as I knew it... said he forgot. Now he is trying to sell them.

I am still annoyed that he bought these when we could not afford it! I just wonder how deep this issue (secretive about purchase/money) will get and how it has damaged my trust for for him...

So who were the tickets meant to be for if there were four of them?

Littleduckeggblue · 03/05/2019 20:09

Why 4 tickets if you don't have any friends or family nearby??

Nc1548 · 03/05/2019 20:15

Who were the 4 tickets meant for, regardless if you can afford them or not?

Lunde · 03/05/2019 20:15

So who were the other tickets for?

UCOinanOCG · 03/05/2019 20:17

So why did he buy four in the first place?

SimplyPut · 03/05/2019 21:21

Sounds utterly ridiculous!

@HollowTalk is missed the tickets in the drawer somehow!
