AIBU to be annoyed at this?

I went out with DC1 earlier, and came back later than DH expected. We hadn't had a conversation about times but I texted him to say the one extra thing we were going to do and then that we'd head home. He replied saying "cool" and that he'd recently got home. The bus takes forever so that took about 45 minutes, meaning we got back around 1 hour 20 minutes after the text.

I got home and he's grumpy and being short with me, eventually after I ask he admits he's frustrated as he says if he'd known I was going to be out so long to begin with he could have made more of his time with the other DC.

I appreciate this, and I think we probably should have checked we had similar expectations to begin with, but my AIBU is that he doesn't need to be off and grumpy with me about it. It's possible to wish something had been different without taking it out on someone. But maybe I'm being unrealistic or unfair. I'm not sure.

He was perfectly capable of asking for an estimated return time or just doing something anyway.

He is BU

I don't think it's the end of the world as long as it's not a regular thing and you both learn from it and communicate better next time.

There’s never a good reason to be grumpy. He’s being an arse.

Not the sensational ending Mumsnet hoped for but we've had a chat and he's said sorry, he wasn't meaning to take it out on me and we've agreed to communicate better next time.
