I'm sorry you are losing this money.  Looking ahead..

1.  For 2016, you can't do anything - [b]Just don't tell your husband[/b]...If he typically does not pay attention to this, why bother.  Compensate by spending less on your personal stuff (if you DO spend a lot on your own stuff).
2. For 2017, if you did contribute to FSA, add a monthly reminder on your calendar - pick a Friday, and have it set to repeat each month - so you claim the money each month.

I am seriously considering this.  I handle the finances, so he'll never notice if I don't tell him.  [b]Is that horrible? [/b] I can't freaking believe I made such a huge, expensive mistake.  [/quote]

I share information with ANYONE on an as-needed basis, and I determine that need.  Other than making you feel bad about not telling him, what are the consequences?  Think through this and decide.  Telling him will not get you the money back.[/quote]
