Am I being overdramatic about my girlfriends curfew?

Alright so I’m a (M20) I have been dating my girlfriend for 4 years she is (F18)

I will give you the story of what recently just happened that made me want to go on here and ask you guys if I’m being dramatic or not?

So my girlfriend had an afterschool club and after it ended she text me and said she was going out to dinner with her friends. I asked her so just the girls right and she said yea just us no guys. I’ve met her friends very nice people no problem with them
So of course I said ok yea no worries have fun so then about 5 minutes pass by and she calls me saying one of her friends’s boyfriends are gonna be there with the girlfriend ofc. Would you like to come? And to be honest I would have went but it was 6:45 Pm and by the time I got there it would have been around 7:30Pm with traffic so I said no and that I had homework plus it was a school night.
Also Tbh I get Fomo (Fear of missing out) so that one kind of stung but it was ok I told myself let me stick this out and it will be ok.

So later that night it was around 11 pm usually the time when she gets home from hanging out with her friends and honestly, I’ve had multiple talks with her being out late during school nights and it frustrates me because around 11:30 I’m heading to bed and I love having night talks before I head to bed with her to ask about her day how her day was you know, etc.

So I decided to give her a call and she answers and I asked her if she was home and she said no she was still out with her friends eating and I told her ok cool because Im going head to bed right now it’s getting pretty late trying to give her a hint saying hey, it is getting late let me head home so I can get ready for tomorrow mind you it’s a Monday. So then she proceeded to say ok I will talk to you tomorrow then hangs up. At this point, I was a little annoyed

She got home around 12:45 that night and she calls me and I said what’s up and she said hey I’m home. Would you like to talk and I said no I’m going to bed. Then she proceeds to say are you mad? I told her I did not want to have a conversation. It was late. I told her I would talk to her tomorrow. Then she proceeds to say listen. I know what this is about. You’re not my mom I’m 18. I can make my own decisions and plus we’re not married. She also said that she can stay out as late as she wants and that she didn’t care.

So at this point, I told her that I was sorry and that I may have been overdramatic, and I had Fomo. But honestly was i in the wrong let me know what you guys think I should do or even think about any advice are welcome!

Thank you!!
