AITA For Calling My Husband A D**k For Thinking Our New Home Is More His Than It Is Mine?

Throwaway, should be a short post

My (35f) husband (37m) and I have recently moved into a new home - a bigger home - where we're hoping on raising our kids (5f, 3f, 2m) .

Well, I do not work currently. I have a degree to get a job that will pay me well, but my husband and I both decided that I should stop working for a bit to help with the kids. My husband makes a lot (in my opinion, and in general) and it's mostly his money paying for the house. And because of this fact, he has taken a liking to calling our house "his house" instead of "Our house." This has annoyed me a bit, but I've just been going with it. And every time I bring it up he goes "Yeah, right."

I reached my breaking point about two days ago when my husband has his friends over, and he made a remark saying "My money did this." I was very, very upset at the remark, but I waited until his friends left, then I kind of flipped him off, to which I eventually called him a huge d**k for continuing to say "his" after I told him that I don't like the phrase. He's been sleeping in the guest room since, and we really haven't been talking.

I'm asking here to see if im the ass for what I said here.

EDIT: Holy crawp I didn't expect this post to blow up like it did, but let me just make some things clear:

- My husband isn't a narcissist or financial abuser. The house is one of the only thing he actually calls "his." Most of our other things or assets he calls "Ours" even though he's bought most of it. This post is just mainly about the house.

- No, we will not be getting a divorce. I love my husband and I know he loves me too, but he can be a bit over-confident. He's a good dad and is determined to give me and my children a nice life.

You're both the asshole here, though he started it. Lol. You blew up, not talking to him and having him sleeping in another room for days is not how couples work through anything. Maybe you needed space for a night, but have it be an ongoing thing that's bad for long-term success in a relationship. Being mad is justified, when you say this bothers you & he does it anyways, just the communication of it is assholish. It sounds like he might have some resentment of caring the sole load financially, and maybe you have some resentment of feeling like your role isn't acknowledged enough. Talk through it together without egos and being defensive.
