The answer

You are mistaken in two ways: withholding money from your husband without a legitimate شرعي reason, and disposing of it without his permission, unless there is an urgent necessity for the disposal, in which case there is no harm to the extent of that necessity. You must return the money to him or seek his forgiveness. If you fear harm from his knowing, you can return it indirectly.
