should i be upset with my husband for this?

yesterday was my birthday. it was going good during the day (somewhat) by the way it was my milestone birthday. i turned 40.here is what happened.. i understand that we have financial issues and money is tight for us right now so i did not expect much...i am a very simple person by the way. he asked me what i wanted and i said not much at all maye a few sanford and son dvds of old re runs. a card and thats it. well...he got a pizza and a small cake and me those dvds and i was very happy. things were going good then like a turn of a dime he said that me and the kids need to find a place to live because we need to move out in 10 days because he will not be able to make the rent. i said why would u drop the bomb on me on my birthday and spoil it like that? he also would not give me gas money to go to work today nor take my teen daughter to school and my gas light is on. his mom has a 3 bedroom 2 story house and 2 rooms are vacant but he said he was gonna move there but me and the kids have to find shelter elsewhere. i am upset cuz today is my payday and now i can not go get my check. but i feel doomed and upset.

Update:

the teen daughter is mine but her dad pays child support but my mom has been stealing it and lying to the courts in tx where she lives and saying my daughter lives with her while my daughter lives here in calif with me!!! i am being screwed there and i can not even go to tx to fix it ..it is my ex husbands job to fix it cuz she sued him for child support and lied and said shelby lives with her when shelby lives w/me!! my ex was pissed that his $ is going to a single woman mind u who makes alot of money and does not need it. how cruel is that? oh my hubby now is ticked but takes it out on me. we have a lil 3 yr old together but he will not let me and out baby move in with his mom. he said i need to find a place to live and know what i do not make but 600 $ a month cuz i work part time so we dont haVE to pay daycare. he told my daughter to move out elsewhere. he is mean to her cuz of all this and she is not to blame.

    This shouldn't be about him ruining your birthday, it should be about why you both aren't responsible with your money.

    How come you don't know already that you don't have enough money to pay rent? You are living there too and you both should be responsible for money. You also shouldn't need to ask him for money you should have your own, you both share your accounts you both should have equal access to them. You need to look at your accounts and figure out where your money is going if it isn't going towards rent it has to be somewhere.

    As for him moving in with mommy while you take the kids and support them I say go for it. You two obviously aren't communicating anyway so just ditch him. You have a job and can support the kids, you can go to court and get him to pay child support.

    I know I'm only 23 but in my opinion even though it was your birthday at least he was being honest with you and letting you know rent wasn't going to get paid better than finding an eviction notice on your door although as far as him moving to his moms and leaving you and the kids to find a place for yourselves that's not right at all. He's your husband and he vowed to be there for you through thick and thin. He should be taking you and the kids with him but instead he's not and that makes it sound like he's not too concerned about what happens to you guys so yeah as far as that goes I would be very upset.

    This is a bad situation for you and YES worthy of being upset which is a small feeling for what he has done. But you are a grown woman with two children to take care of. He is an @sshole no doubt. But all you can do is move on and take care of your #1 priorities and that is your babies :)

    Keep your head up and resource, open up that phone book or research on the web. You will make it without him, and file for child support ASAP!

    OMG...I would be in killing mode...Are the children his?

    Do you have any family where you live?

    sounds to me as though he may want a divorce; even still, he should be helping you out at least with a little money for gas. Is there anyone from your work that may be able to bring your check to you and maybe loan you enough money for gas to go cash your check?

    I wish I had better words for you hon,

    good luck

    I'd say he tried to sugar coat you first with the birthday cake and pizza before telling you. Are you sure he wants you to move out because of the rent......

    You have every right to be upset. He as you have a responsibility to your children....Get your check and use it for you and the kids. Have a friend or family member help if they can. He obviously doesnt know where his prioritys lay.....

    You poor thing...Do you not have family or friends that would be willing to give you a ride to get your check. And can you not stay with someone till you get back on your feet?

    Good Luck to you

    Wow i you have a right to be way more than upset... he is being horrible and inconsiderate to you and his children. There is something seriously wrong with this situation.. besides the rent.

    It sounds like he is leaving you. You should use any support network that you have (family, friends) to find a place to stay. Sorry your birthday was ruined. :-(
