Not invited to my boyfriends surprise birthday party

My boyfriends 40th Birthday is coming up shortly.
I Had messaged his mum to see if she had organised something, however after not hearing back after a few days presumed she hadn’t. So I organised a surprise to do something and invite along lots of his friends, She messaged me back 2 weeks later and said yes, on the date I had planned too. I explained that because I hadn’t heard back I’d planned something.
Shes then rang my boyfriend shouting about it, not once confronted me about it.
I said don’t worry I’ll cancel what I’d planned to stop any drama and caused arguments with me and my boyfriend.
so fast forward 6 days before, I get a message from his friends girlfriend asking me what I’m wearing, what the plans are after his party. I know nothing about this party!
i haven’t mentioned it to my boyfriend because I don’t want to ruin his birthday, upset him or cause drama.
AIBU for being so annoyed and so upset about no invitation?

I wonder if he is going to blame his mum for being dumped.

Good for you OP. You are well rid of that pathetic excuse of a man

Thank you everyone! Means a lot. I don’t want to bring myself to reading messages from him before I get sucked back in.
Ive got my daughter back home since yesterday, so feel a bit better.
time to concentrate on the both of us, being happy!
