I think that your husband is just trying to keep silent so as to think about the conflict at hand, and not upset you further by saying something out of anger he doesn't mean and will regret later.
Just take a few minutes for yourself to collect your emotions, and then go back and talk to him about the conflict, and try to figure out what it was that caused it in the first place.
It's normal to feel hurt when he falls silent, my husband does this too, and it upsets me, if not aggravates me a little as well.
