Husband said we can either take a weekend trip to a nice hotel, or go to a nice dinner back in town. I said hotel, he brought up the cost.

I thought I had won the husband lottery. I have a good job and I've been able to support us through an awful economy. He's an artist and has a job too, but it's a lot harder for him and he's not making the money he used to. <br><br>He's been very supportive of my career and has stepped up to help a lot more around the house. He's been great about letting me decompress when I come home from work too. When I need time alone, he gives it to me without complaint. When I need cuddles, he showers me in affection. <br><br>I get home from work this week and he's made dinner again, and I was so touched by it. I told him I really appreciate him and that he's a very good husband. He said that I'm great too, that I'm an excellent wife and provider and that I deserve to be treated well. He said that I can choose this weekend - we can either go to a nice restaurant and have a nice dinner, or we can go to a nice hotel and have a night away. He said he'd take care of whatever I chose.<br><br>I was so considering saying let's just stay home and take it easy, but I was thinking about how tough my job has been lately and how much it would mean if we could just get away for a night. So I said the hotel, and he said "Okay. That room usually costs $\mathit{X}$ per night."<br><br>I thought that meant we were going to negotiate a price, but I didn't want to stay there anymore if he was going to bring that up. So I said "Okay. Let me think on it."<br><br>He is someone that will occasionally say something not quite right, but he always listens if I take the time to explain. He's not done anything wrong, ever. Not in 7 years. But I have to admit, this doesn't feel right. Is this a red flag or does it just sound like one? <br><br>Is this something I should talk to him about, or would me bringing it up make it seem like I don't trust him? It's pretty clear to me that he wants me to feel valued and loved and he'd do just about anything to make sure that I feel safe and happy. And in the end, he may have said it as a joke (there's a 0% chance he was being malicious). But I still don't feel good about this. How do I talk to him about it?<br><br>TL;DR! - My husband said everything right except for that one thing. How do I explain to him that it didn't feel right?
