Everything you said makes sense, but at the same time you can acknowledge that you need to communicate better without having the conversation right then and there. Both times the dude “transgressed” he was coming home from work. Probably tired, maybe had a bad day, I can see why he didn’t want to negotiate beer or McDonalds with his wife right then and there.
Especially understandable is the beer. She admits that they had been having difficulties at home and maybe just needed some time alone to think. She knew where he was and texted him anyway.
Personally, I would’ve already had that conversation pretty much as soon as I saw the problem, before even getting to the point where you’re stopping off at McDonald’s or the bar. It’s pretty unlikely that the first time it occurs to you that your partner would be mad is when you’re opening the door to the McDonald’s.

Communicate early, communicate often.
