Should he have said sorry

I had plans with friends tonight had made them so I could make sure I had the kids (5 and 4) in bed and sleeping for me leaving it was just to a friends house for a catch up. Partner knew about this but unfortunately got called into work at last minute he was onto 8pm and told me he'd be home for 830pm. It got to 8pM and I hadn't heard from him to say he had left so I texted. He said they hadn't been able to leave yet...830 still hadn't left. I got arsey because he hadn't said sorry I don't mean a sorry like it was his fault but there was nothing. No acknowledgement that my plans were up in the air. He has just got in at 1015pm. As we were arguing he said he wouldn't be apologising for something that was out of his control. I have just found it weird he does get called into work last minute but never has he been held on this long past the time he has been told he was meant to stay too. Was I unreasonable to expect an acknowledgment of some sort. He has just called me every name under the sun and went straight to bed because he can't stand to be around me according to him

You are in an abusive relationship.
Contact Women's aid for advice and support.
I wouldn't be surprised if he deliberately ruined your evening.
He sounds vile.

It’s an observation that I’ve never heard an adult man described as sweet unless it’s to justify how nice they are when they’re not being abusive cunts.

Almost every thread on here regarding an abusive rather, they’re described as ‘sweet and kind’ - but they’re really neither of those things.

Theres far bigger issues in your relationship than him working late OP but you know that really.
