I (28F) make 6 figures and I'm worried my husband (40M) is cheating because he says he can't afford to fly home for the holidays.

I (28F) make 170,000 a year. My husband (40M) makes around 80,000. Right now, I'm in a remote area for work. I have to fly home for Christmas, and I asked him if he can come too. He said he can't afford to fly, and that it will probably be next year before he can come home. We've never spent the holidays apart, and I'm worried he is lying.<br><br>He says his money goes to paying bills and saving for a house down payment. I have been putting a little bit of money into those accounts, and aside from maybe 5,000 for a car down payment a couple years ago, he has never dipped into his savings.<br><br>At first, I thought there was a possibility maybe he can't afford to fly, but it's been 3 years since I've seen my family. I'm just wondering if I should be worried he's cheating.<br><br>​<br><br>TLDR: My husband is supposed to fly home for the holidays and claims he can't afford it.
