Acts of service don’t have to be your main love language for you to enjoy making your partner’s day by doing something special. It also doesn’t have to be excessive to be special, as a breakfast brought to bed or a handmade Christmas gift can mean more than the most expensive of items.
This redditor decided to surprise her husband with his favorite cake on his birthday, which she made bearing in mind his dietary restrictions, so he could enjoy it with the guests. However, her spouse didn’t react in the way she probably hoped for and even tried gaslighting her instead of showing appreciation. Scroll down to find the full story below.

“AITA I told him I would never again bake him something”
“My husband is lactose intolerant but he likes banana cake.
For his birthday, I baked a two layer banana cake and made the recipe of a vegan frosting and a vegan toffee sauce that was really good!
When we were going to sing the usual Happy Birthday song, he stood up and was walking over the cake table while I was saying that I had baked a banana cake for him with vegan frosting and sauce.
His answer, in front of everyone, was that he didn’t know why I had baked him some cake if I already knew he didn’t like them because he has not eaten in so many years that he doesn’t even like it anymore.
I felt hurt and didn’t say a thing there. I thought that he would appreciate me baking a cake for his birthday because that’s what his mom used to do when he was a kid and he always makes a comment about me not baking the kids’ cakes.

Every time I go to the local bakery, I get him a banana cake and he eats it and says how much he likes it.
The rest of the celebration, I was trying to act normal, but he noticed and when everyone left, he asked if I was ok. I said I was never going to bake him something. His answer was, thank you and that I was being unfair with him because I should have already know.
Worst of all of this was that, my birthday is the same day as his. So I baked another cake for me because I wanted a chocolate cake, but this is just venting.
AITA?”
