For context, four couples are invited to this dinner. First couple celebrate the wife’s bday in Feb and the husband covered a $1500 bill for everyone. I celebrated my bday last month and husband covered the bill. Two weeks ago, couple three and four who have bdays in April asked us to block off a date for dinner (so ya, can’t say we’re busy and can’t make it anymore). Today, they asked in group chat if everyone is okay with a $200/each dinner at a high end steak house. The minimum and deposit is required because they want a private room. I’m annoyed that I have to spend so much on a dinner I had no say in and spend money to celebrate their birthdays when they were treated… and they basically gave us no way out. If they don’t want to treat maybe there could have been an open discussion? Or not get a private room? AITA for being really annoyed about this?
