Am I Justified in Being Upset with my Husband?

My husband is emotionally distant. He never talks about his feelings or connects with me on a more intimate level. When I've confronted him about this he says that I'm being self centered and it usually ends in an argument in which he leaves and wants space. I've tried giving him space but in the end I resent him even more.

Earlier this evening I had dinner with a friend and called my husband on my way home. He told me he'd stopped by his parents and would be home later. I got home and waited for 2 hours until he got home. When I greeted him at the door he told me he'd been longer than he anticipated because his father, an alcoholic, was having an episode and that the whole family was there dealing with it (husbands and wives included). I was the only not there and when I asked him what happened he said he didn't want to talk about it. I can't even believe this any more. I feel so bad for him and this situation but cannot do anything to help or connect with him on this. Right now I'm feeling angry that he's pushing me away yet again and I am not a part of this event in his life.

Am I justified in feeling this way? If so, what do I do? I feel so alone.
