Well-meaning boyfriend gets girlfriend a cake to celebrate a promotion she never received in attempt to help her "manifest" success with "good vibes," she reacts negatively: "I had to explain [to our server] that it wasn't true"

We've all probably been through an intense manifestatione phase. Maybe you happened across The Secret at a garage sale, or perhaps you stumbled upon a YouTube influencer detailing how to speak your desired reality into existence. There are so many different manifesting techniques; you can try writing a journal entry from the perspective of your future self who has achieved all of your goals. You could write a list of things that you are grateful for and slip in a few things that haven't happened yet. You can try saying affirmations in the morning. I'm not here to say whether or not these things are real or effective in terms of results, but they certainly do have the power to shift your mindset for the better, at the very least.
In our story today, a young man tries to manifest his girlfriend's promotion. His technique? Acting as if it has already happened by getting her a special cake. Except that it's their anniversary and she has no idea what's going on.

AITA for refusing to leave the restaurant after my boyfriend embarrassed me on our anniversary?

The act of getting her this cake isn't really break up worthy; however, his reaction to her confusion and disappointement certainly is.

That is an interesting theory; perhaps he was somehow ashamed of his relationship with our protagonist. They need to have a heart-to-heart ASAP.
