To be annoyed at DH?

(Name changed as all the detail quite identifying) Would you be annoyed if you told your DH who was on a 3 day jolly in a European capital that you had tested positive for covid while looking after 3 kids, and after a “what” to the pic of test, completely ignored follow up text explaining how I tested after feeling like shot and also a phone call. I know this a is a UK site where covid testing is frowned upon but I was due in office for important senior meetings for 3 days at start of week, our work (not in uk) still has strict WFH for covid and it would go down like a cup of warm vomit if I went in coughing and sneezing and one of the VIPs then caught covid. The people he’s away with are very anti-covid but surely you would check in if the careminder for your kids said they were feeling awful? This was after messages I sent this morning with cute pics of the kids, a FaceTime from the kids and a cheery message asking an opinion on a dress were ignored for 4-6 hours (dress one still hasn’t been responded to). Might be influenced by this being one of 3 jollies he has had/will have in the space of 6 weeks (all pleasure, work trips are on top of that).
AIBU to be pissed off at this stage?

God, I’m overjoyed to see some of these most recent messages, I was beginning to think expecting your partner to show any level of concern if god forbid you’re in different countries is a widely unreasonable view! Thank you. I do suspect the word covid might have influenced responses! This is a man who spends a lot of time on his phone, at home, abroad, it doesn’t make much difference. Anyway we just spent 5 minutes where he listened to how he felt before heading out to dinner. He hadn’t seen the dresses and somehow didn’t disintegrate in distress when I said I would love his and his companions opinions. At least having posted I realise it is unreasonable to get annoyed with him being away just now as I did agree and there’s not much he can do but lend a sympathetic ear. So generally I feel calmed down even by frantically letting out my thoughts on mumsnet!

Sorry - I meant he listened to how I felt - not how he felt!
