AITA for not letting my friend bring her boyfriend to my birthday dinner?
I planned a small birthday dinner with eight close friends at a restaurant. I booked the table weeks in advance and chose a place with limited seating.
The day before the dinner, my friend asked if she could bring her new boyfriend. I said I was hoping to keep it just the people I invited because the table was already arranged.
She said I was being rude and that couples should be invited together.
I told her I had nothing against him, but I wanted to spend my birthday with my friends and didn't want to change the plan last minute.
Now she says she might not come because she feels like I don't respect her relationship.
AITA?
