“You have no right to be angry” – True but how do I turn it off?

I wasn’t feeling well last night and couldn’t bring myself to attend a party we had been invited to.

My husband said he didn’t feel much like going either but felt he needed to make an appearance for us and give our love to the birthday couple (whom we love very much).

He said he was going to have a drink, toast the couple, give some hugs and come home, while I put the finishing touches on a beef stew I’d been slow cooking and tried to feel better.

As I curled up in a blanket on the couch waiting for his return: I watched a movie, I played some games on my phone, got far too hungry and ate some stew, watched another movie…it was getting quite late, and I got angry (WTF? He said he’d be home).

He did come home after 4:30am and I was pissed, I made him sleep on the couch (not because I was angry but because he snores when he’s drunk). I knew I was being unreasonable and didn’t say anything I simply stayed in bed and didn’t see him.

I’m still feeling angry, but it’s more because he yelled at me for being unreasonably angry at him. We’re now not really talking to each other…don’t know what to do…

(Sorry this is more than 5 sentences)
