Yuck. Not the response we would have wanted. Maya's right, moving toward self is always the right direction, and it looks like that's what you need right now.

I wonder if this didn't provoke your H in a way. It was sort of an ultimatum in disguise, and I'm guessing that what you wanted/expected as a response didn't happen. I wonder what OTHER response he could have given you. It doesn't really look like there was any other choice.
The good news is, you can hang there with yourself for a while, and then you can see where he is later, if you feel like it. You didn't close the door, you just put a Temporarily Out of Service sign there for a while. So when you feel the time is right for YOU, you have every right to take the sign away and reach out to him.
