    Last year on my birthday my girlfriend (26F) ate the last piece of my cake while I was at work. Not just any cake, my favorite cake that my mom makes from scratch every year. I had specifically told her I was saving that last slice for when I got home.

    Fast forward to this year my mom made me the same cake again. My girlfriend asked for a slice and I told her "Nah after what happened last year this one's all mine."

    told her it wasn't about the cake it was about her completely disregarding me last time.

    Now she's barely speaking to me and a couple of our friends are saying I'm being petty. I don't think I am though. If she couldn't respect it last year why should she get any this year? AITA?

    nola... Tbh it's not about who's right or who's wrong it's more like if you and her managed to basically keep an argument about a slice of cake going for over a year idk how tf you managed to even make the relationship work for an entire year

    I wasn't necessarily meaning this has been an on going argument I more meant he let this set in the back of his head and become part 2 of the argument a year later, this has probably been an on going thought in his head for who knows how long leading up to his birthday at the very least

    nylondragon64 I get it. It's like someone just taking the last slice of pizza without asking first. Do you mind if I grab that last slice.

    And me being a cake guy especially if mom made it for me. Phifft I might be pred. But I would have delt with it at the time not a year later.

    Hidden Vixen21 Sweetie. It's cake. You held a grudge about cake for a year instead of talking to her about how hurt you were at the time.
