意味を教えてください

質問

My husband and I are both freelancers in creative fields of work and do well financially. We save a little more now that we’re older and we never want for anything. My husband has always made more money more consistently than I do, and with his salary, we are more than comfortable. I am in a field that pays generously but sporadically. Last night, I picked a fight I probably shouldn’t have—it doesn’t matter what it was about. At one point I said, “My feelings are hurt when you talk to me like this.” And he responded with, “Your feelings don’t matter, because I pay for everything.” I was dumbfounded. We went to bed angry, and, honestly, I’m so shocked these words came out of his mouth that I don’t even think I can look at him. What can I do or say here? Should I just keep my mouth shut? Do I have any ground in which to stand—because, as he said, right now, he is paying for most things.

we never want for anythingとDo I have any ground in which to standの意味を教えてください。よろしくお願いします

"we never want for anything" 「いつだって私たちは特段、何も望むものはない」
（即ち「私たちは不必要に浪費をしない」）

"Do I have any ground in which to stand" 「私に自分を正当化できる根拠がありますか」

だと思います。

う～ん、句動詞に弱いのかな？

＞ never want for anything

で、「（衣服充の最低限なものに）事欠いたことなどない。」の意味になるんですよね。

＞Do I have any ground in which to stand

「（夫に養ってもらっている身ですし）私には立つ瀬がないのでしょうか？」
