How would you describe this situation?

My husband got some paperwork. He folded it and stuck it in my purse. Later, when I asked him where the paperwork was, he said “that he gave it to me.”

I said that he did not give it to me. The discussion became kind of heated. Later, I found the paperwork stuck in my purse. When I brought this up with my husband, he said, “Yes. I gave it to you.”

I contend that sticking it in my purse when I am not looking is not “giving it to me.”

Is this a gender difference? What do you think?
