AITAH for being upset with wife

My wife and I (both 37) have been married 13 years and have 4 kids.

Recently, I offered to make her tea, and she said it made her uncomfortable because of a news story about husbands drugging their wives.

I was honestly surprised and felt hurt by that, because I’ve never done anything like that or given her a reason to feel unsafe.

I told her it bothered me that she would associate me with something like that. She responded that she’s allowed to have her feelings and that I shouldn’t take it personally.

Now I’m stuck between wanting to respect her feelings, but also feeling hurt and a bit confused.

AITA for pushing back and telling her that it upset me?
