AIBU to be pissed off and not want to go to my birthday meal?

Had a pathetic row with DH who stormed off for the night, I assumed to a hotel. Just after he left we had some bad news which I relayed to him and then spent the rest of the (sleepless for me) night worrying about how he was processing the news and if he was ok. I had phoned and texted him to at least let me know that he was ok. Nothing.
Today he breezes in and says he was at his mums.
Things haven't always been amazing between me and his mum and recently things have been ok and we were all set to go out for a meal a few weeks from now to celebrate my birthday but now DH has run off to his mothers house after a row I feel humiliated and like I don't want to go for this meal.
I feel like his family always have to know our business (one of the things that has caused problems between me and his family) and I am a very private person who feels that as people in our 40s it's our business and no-one else.
I am also fuming with DH. He let me worry about him all night, wondering if he was ok and all the time he was putting his feet up at his mothers.
I now don't want to go out for this meal knowing that they know our problems and I don't even want to speak to him.
AIBU? FWIW the argument was a really petty one and not even about anything important.

It may be logical, atenco but that doesn't make it fair, appropriate or wise, in light of the implications for the relationship between any mother-in-law and her children's partners, which tend to be tricky enough without hearing a one sided version of every spat.

This is true, goneto.

I see this is a common thing for men, I think it's just a very small people that think, as an adult, you shouldn't have to run to mummy and daddy with all your woes and you sort it out as adults with one another.
