Were the husbands invited. My husband would not go to a social event that I was barred from and I would not go to one he was barred from. Some people like being a couple.

Missing a couple of friends at a get together today someone described them as having THAT sort of husband. This was accompanied by nods and eye rolls from some. I asked what they meant but they just laughed. I think they meant the type who control partners activities and like to keep them close and to know what they are doing and expect them home to look after the house.
I think it's better to have a life of your own and not expect to share everything.
