AITAH because I want to say yes to having dinner with my dad on my birthday?

I (37F) was asked to have a birthday dinner by my dad on my actual birthday.

My girls will be with their dad on that Friday evening.

My current husband will be at work during said dinner.

This woman said yes to her dad.

I did not think much of it. This was an easy yes because I did not have plans.

My husband, on the other hand, does not want me to go.

He says that it is a husband’s responsibility to take his wife out on her birthday.

And that he will look bad if he is not the one taking me out.

Her husband was offended by her dad’s invitation.

My husband is offended that my dad did not say anything about inviting the rest of the family.
