Hi Lisa, Everyone has their off days. Sounds like your H felt like being a little confrontational. No matter how you replied, he would see it in a negative way. Kansha's advise is excellent way to try to diffuse H reaction. However, it is H's issue and if he brings it up again, like you being mad, redirect it back at him ... "Sorry you read me that way, but it is not true. Why do you feel I'm mad at you?"
