Did I really break my promise?

I don't think so. You promised to finish the WIP and you needed supplies to do it ... you didn't buy the fabric for a new project. Heck, if DH was building shelves and ran out of nails wouldn't he buy the nails to finish it? Seams like the same thing to me. :)

My rule is always that if you're working on a UFO/WIP and need additional border/backing fabric, it's okay. You just have to get to right about when you're ready to use it (rather than buying it and keeping it for a year)

I would say it depends on what his definition of finished is. And if the top was completed and only needed backing?
If the top was incomplete and I went shopping for a back, I think that would be breaking the promise.

And really, it doesn't matter what WE think about whether or not you broke your promise. (We're not married to you.) The key is: your spouse felt you did.
I would simply apologize, and then come to a revised agreement about what you should do if/when this situation occurs in the future.
Best to you,
