AITA for not stocking the fridge for my husband after his business trip?

I don't know, man. I understand that she is busy. Also, there is something here about gender and dynamics, but I think that if I came home after a red-eye flight and my fiance didn't make sure there was food at home for me, I'd feel pretty disappointed. We do have a history of showing our love for each other through food, though which may not be the case for this pair.

He certainly had plenty of other options besides putting the onus on his wife.

Husband makes jabs at wife for failing to restock the fridge before he came home from a work trip, she refuses to be reprimanded: 'We are both capable [of] providing food for ourselves when the other is busy'
Homecomings after a long international trip are supposed to be sweet. Ideally, for a couple that haven't seen each other in a long time and have been separated by vast distances, the reunion is filled with hugs at the airport, enthusiastic stories from the trip, and perhaps even a nice meal together. But for one couple, the husband's return from a business trip was not a cause for celebration; instead, it lead to a domestic squabble over groceries. He returned to a less-than-stocked fridge and started making comments about being left with "no food." While the pantry and fridge weren't totally bare, they didn't meet his post-red-eye flight expectations.
Now our narrator, his wife, is questioning whether or not she really dropped the ball by not prepping a welcome home feast, or if her husband should have just handled his own food needs like a big boy. She insists that they are both capable of fending for themselves -- after all, they live in a major city with walking-distance restaurants and grocery stores as well as plenty of options with which to order food. However, he sees this as her neglecting him after a long trip.
