We're just going to come right out and say it. This one is a definite "ESH" (Everybody Sucks Here.) The husband sucks for volunteering his wife to bake his mother's cake in front of the said mother without checking with his wife first. She also sucks for her reaction, being outwardly rude and instigating further conflict by bringing his relationship with her mother into it. The guy might have been an idiot for volunteering her in the first place but, to his credit, his wife even admits that he did not argue back with her despite his "argumentative nature."

This thread was posted to the r/AITA subreddit by the wife, who wants to see if she is in the wrong for the way she reacted at dinner. The readers narrowly voted in her favor declaring that she was "NTA" (Not the A-Hole.) Despite this, there were several replies that agree with us here that "ESH."
