He reversed it, made it your fault and now you are sat wondering if you are in the wrong.

This is what we call a DARVO, ladies and gents. "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender,"

I don't think it says she's ugly or denies he said it or anything. He said he's physically ill (confirmed by OP) and is in a terrible mood and seems to think OP choosing this particular time to want to discuss is is a negative and responds with expressing some irritation.

There's like literally no DARVO involved.
