I'm going to give you my personal opinion on what you asked me. I think your h wasn't happy to get a call from you. It reminded him that he has a wife and he thought you were calling to complain about something and/or check up on him. He may have felt guilty for being out and about and he figured you caught him doing something different than what he said he would be doing. So, yes, they do get angry when they get busted doing something they weren't suppose to be doing. Once he realized that your call was legit, he changed his tune just a bit.

They are like little kids who get caught w/their hands in the cookie jar and then sulk or exhibit anger because they got caught.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
