I (26F) planned a small birthday dinner at one of my favorite restaurants just five of my closest friends and my boyfriend (28M). I reserved the table, I wanted it to be a chill, intimate night with the people who matter most to me.

When my boyfriend arrived he brought three of his friends that I barely know. No warning. No “Hey, do you mind?” Just a casual “They didn’t have plans, figured it’d be fun.”

It completely changed the vibe. The restaurant had to rearrange the table and suddenly this dinner I planned turned into him holding court with his buddies. They dominated the conversation with inside jokes, barely acknowledged my friends. I felt like an extra at my own event.

I tried to stay polite, but I was honestly upset. After about an hour of feeling invisible, I pulled the server aside, paid the entire bill including for his friends told everyone I wasn’t feeling well, said a warm goodbye to my friends and left.

Later that night, my boyfriend texted saying I was dramatic and made him “look bad” in front of his friends. He said I should’ve just gone with the flow and that I ruined the night for everyone.

I didn’t yell, I didn’t cause a scene. But now he’s acting like I was out of line.

AITAH for walking out of my own birthday dinner?
