What should I do?

My husband just called me a stupid asshole because I told him I didn't feel sorry that he won't recieve a stimulus check because he owes back chikd support. My husband has never missed a payment since I've known him. He owes mostly because his ex didnt establish child support until right after they had their second child and split up. So being as how they didnt live together and he couldn't show proof of supporting their firstborn, even though he was still getting her 50% of the time there was just no proof with the courts. I get how that part may seem a little unfair to him. But he did disclose to me in the past that with his ex between the children's mither and myself he was a "stay at home parent" watching her kids while she worked. So I pointed out that where the initial back child support may bot have been in his control that him not working and not making his payments in full was not okay. He agrees with me. Its been a very long time since that period of his life but that doesn't change the fact that he still did it.

This morning he was complaining how it isnt fair that his past is still being held over his head and he's being punished for it. Calmly, I simply explained to him that he never made an effort to right his wrongs by using his own money to pay ahead and life always has a way of catching up to us. I also told him that he should maybe try and understand gow unfair it was that the mother of his children wasn't getting the help she was supposed to while he was taking care of children that were not his. I told him that maybe this situation would put things into perspective for him as to how the kids' mother felt about life being unfair. Then he yelled and called me a stupjd asshole and said I was being mean to him bringing up his past.

I wasn't doing it to be spiteful I was doing it to try and make him understand. Was I too harsh and should I apologize? He already cried and apilogized as soon as I walked out of the room. He has never spoken to me that way and I know he was genuinely sorry. But do I apologize for bringing it up? I dont know. I didn't say it to be rude or even in a rude tone.
