Stupid argument about dinner - was I wrong?!

My first (and very daft) AIBU!

DH wanted to start dinner at 17:30 but I wasn't hungry and also wanted to do some exercise so said as much. It took me a while to finish work emails so I didn't get going until 18:15 (DH said nothing about wanting to eat when I went upstairs).
I didn't hear anything from DH during exercise, and went on to shower and get going on some tidying.

I called down just after 20:00 (having not heard a peep!) to see if he wanted to do anything about dinner; cue much stomping and anger about the fact I'd left him there for 3 hours (exaggeration!) and I knew he was hungry and how could I have done that etc etc.

My response was, whaaaaat? You're an able-bodied adult. I was upstairs. You literally just had to either make dinner for yourself and I would re-heat, or say you were starting it and I would come down. Literally, the easiest thing in the world. I was 20 feet away!! Why on earth sit there getting so hangry and then take it all out on me?!

I honestly do not understand my error in this. Okay, he was clearly a lot hungrier than me, but I am not a mind reader. Surely if a grown up is so hungry that they get that cross, they should just say??

Or was I in the wrong? I genuinely cannot see that I was, but will take on board opposing views. I honestly feel utterly confused by it all Confused

Very confusing. Really can't understand if this even was a thing. If he was that hungry, why couldn't he have just started dinner, or even walked upstairs to tell you he's starting dinner.
