📝 AITAH? "I don't care"...

So I (39F) had dinner with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. And when I got home I was in the middle of telling my husband (40M) (an admittedly stupid, yet funny) story when he looks at me and says "I don't care". Uh what? I just stared at him. He just stared back. Finally he said "I'm sorry that was rude. Was there more to the story?" I was no longer in the mood to talk to him so I said "No.". Then I went to use the bathroom and he starts texting me..

Him- "Sorry if I was a bit overstimulating when you got home I was just craving adult human interaction, I didn't account for how socially exhausted you may be."

Me- "Uh what? I was literally in the middle of telling you a story and you told me you didn't care to hear it. So yeah, I stopped talking. Did I miss something?"

Him- "Your story was too much for my brain to process, so while I didn't care it's bc I couldn't wrap my brain around it that fast."

"And then you shut down after that".

Me- " Because I didn't think you cared to hear it."

Him-" That's why I got all weird and said "Let's talk about anything. But that only seemed to make you more stand offish"

Me- "I don't know what to say man, it's fine. I'll be out soon"

Then he texts me that our son is about to fall asleep and if I wanted to say good night now would be the time. So I go in and say good night and my husband asks me if he is awake after our son falls asleep do I want to hang out with him?

I say sure and ask him what he wants to do. Him- "I don't care I'm just lonely, I missed you today."

Am I missing something here? I know this isn't like the biggest deal ever but I feel like he is fucking with me or something.... I can't quite put my finger on what the fuck is happening. I don't know I feel like he pisses me off and then gets upset when I pull back emotionally and tries to guilt me by saying he misses me and he's lonely.
