My husband spent over three thousand dollars on MBMBAM live show tickets. We can't afford this and I'm furious

(I don't need any advice about what to do. I just need to get this out because of how absolutely furious I am).

My husband bought three tickets for a MBMBAM live show and each one cost over a thousand dollars. I have been furious since I found out. We absolutely can not afford this and my husband knows it but he still bought them. I found out he bought them online and got front row seats.

Our credit card was charged on Monday and normally I get an alert whenever our card is used but my husband deleted it from my phone before I saw it. It didn't see the charge until two days later and I thought our card was compromised. I found out what the charge was and I was still going to dispute it because we absolutely can't afford it. But my husband already paid it and confirmed he made that purchase. He took money from our emergency account. We have less than a hundred dollars in our emergency account now.

Our emergency fund was low already because two and a half years ago my husband lost his job and he was out of work for a year after being fired from Arby's . We had to dip into our emergency savings a bunch of times while he was unemployed. He knows what our financial situation is like and I can't believe he did this. If I didn't have some overtime shifts scheduled over the next two weeks we would not be able to afford our next mortgage payment.

I'm furious and he says I'm overreacting. He says he's taking his dad and his uncle to see the McElroy's because both of their birthdays are the same week as the show. But that doesn't mean we can afford to spend over three thousand dollars. My husband said at least the tickets didn't cost fifteen hundred each, and he also dropped a bomb on me; he applied for tickets to every show that they are doing in our area and if he had went to all the shows instead of just one the total cost would have been over twelve thousand dollars!

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I asked my husband where we would have gotten that kind of money and he just said we would figure it out. He tried telling me that Ohio has a huge demand for MBMBAM tickets so that's why it cost him over a thousand dollars per ticket. As if that is an explanation for what he did.

I tried to make it work but I can't any more. I'm going to get my ducks in a row and talk to a lawyer before I do anything with our finances. Then I am done with him. He thinks I'm overreacting and that all of this is big joke. I'm done.
