Husbands mad at me

My husband has always been against state or government assistance (ex. Food stamps) but for me it was my moms life saver being single and raising 3 kids so I never had any negative feelings about it (when it was used correctly and not taken advantage of) I have always supported the fact that my husband didn’t like or want it up until we had our first child. Our child is almost a year old and we have another child due in the next month. We had everything figured out (or so we thought) to be financially ready for when baby #2 arrived, but life happened and we had a lot things come up so we had to dip into most of our savings. Plus my husband quit his job due to the company starting to travel constantly, he had another job lined up right away but the hiring process took way longer than expected and he hasn’t worked in a week in a half. I’m a stay at home mom because daycare for 2 kids was too expensive for us so we literally have very little money coming in next week. With the baby being so close to being born, my husbands soon to be shitty paycheck, our savings drained, I decided I would apply for food stamps (without first consulting with my husband) I didn’t think to tell him because I really didn’t think we would get approved and I knew he would be angry I did it in the first place. Well they gave me an interview and they were going to contact his places of work to verify end and start of employment so I just decided to let my husband know. Well he got pissed off that I applied without notifying him (even though I know he wouldn’t let me do it if he knew) but what bothers me is that the main reason he doesn’t want it is because of other people’s perception of us if they knew we had assistance. It’s not like I would flaunt the fact that we would have food stamps, but I know I’d feel a lot better knowing there’s food in our home and all of our bellies are full rather than us worrying about what we were guna eat for the next 2 weeks. I understand he’s upset I didn’t tell him I applied in the first place but I’m upset that he’s much more worried about what people will think about us rather than us not going hungry.

Edit: I still plan on using it if we get approved. I’m going to look out for my family even if he wants to be pissed and immature about it. I know he’ll get over it eventually, but just needed to vent cause his pride and opinion about it is irritating

#2- his opinion about food stamps came from the way he was raised. His parents were very very poor and never asked for assistance and ended up making things work so now he believes that we could do the same. Only difference though that he is not acknowledging is that things were very very different 30 years ago, his parents didn’t have all the same bills as we do now and things are a lot more expensive now.

With the job comment-he’s worked at the place before and last time the hiring process was very quick and he started immediately, but things changed in office so he’s had to wait for a lot of paperwork and his drug test to get done (they mail the drug test out). But either way I agree he should have planned it out much better so that he wasn’t not working anywhere for almost a week and a half

I do not plan to stay on food stamps, just need it until we can build ourselves back up financially after the baby’s born
