Therein lies the answer. He wouldn't have stood for it previously if it was a randomer, and now he probably would do nothing about it.
Instead of getting in Deanna's good books, waiting for her grief to settle and making ties with the locals, Rick belligerently confronts Pete. In a way, that aggressive leadership style is reminiscent of Shane in season 2. The group cannot integrate because they've been on the outside too long to switch back to civilization.
It is not about being out there too long, it is about the hard truths that Alexandria hasn't really confronted, nor do they know how to deal with it properly.
Best examples are when they were gathering construction material and they would have left that woman there to die, and we all saw how scared the boys
were when they went out scavaging, they even stated they ran away and left others to die.
Personally I do not think Rick is in anyway the same as Shane [The Govenor], that prick was hung up on himself, wanting a cure for his daughter, then revenge
because of her death, even when he found another group, killing them outright and going to war on the Prison... then turning down the proposal because of his
anger and fear.
Anyway... guess it is how I read into the program and the way it is portrayed could be different, or maybe something else altogether. Nope, have not read the comics.
EDIT: remember that the entirety of these seasons is equivalent to 10-12 months since it started.
