Yesterday was my birthday and my friend brought me a balloon that said Happy Birthday and a card and some perfume and a big cake that was so good!! It was so yummy! And I asked her if her an her daughter wanted a piece and she said okay and then I said we should wait for my husband which she waited for a little while but had to go and now I feel bad should I feel bad for that? She is also on a diet so I am confused if I should feel bad or not? It was such a good cake I have almost ate the whole thing!! It was a Chocolate Snickers cake with some yummy vanilla frosting and some kind of caramel.

You can't offer a person a slice of cake and then tell them to wait. At least cut her a piece to go, if she had to leave. Maybe you'll remember for next time, but for now it was your day so don't sweat it too much.

That sucks, I hate birthdays like that though I find them happening more often. Getting older stops being a celebration when you have more years behind you than ahead of you.

I know I feel the same way I told my husband I wanted some Mexican Food from this place down the street it is called Pollo Salsa and it is like so awesome and when he got home from work he was so tired and it was pouring down and I was feeling sick so he gave me some money to go get whatever but I could not even make that 10 minute drive that is how bad I felt. He said he owes me a dinner though he he he.

I think it will be so good when you cut a small part of the cake and give to here because she was the who gifted you and you should serve her for treat which she had given to you. Keep in mind that, it is your duty to serve her. I hope you will also give some suprises for if birthday in return.

Hello, and first of all, Happy Birthday, my best wishes for you. Regarding your question, I do not think you shoulf feel bad about it, is just one of those things that happens sometimes, I donĀ“t think your friend is mad at you, maybe you can work it out inviting her to coffee some day, or giving her a special treat in her birthday too. As a last thing, that cake seems to be a specially delicious one, Bon Apetite, and happy birthday once again.

If I were you,I would share a piece of it with my friend first since it was such a yummy cake.As for my husband, I think I can explain the thing to him later. But there is also no need for you to feel so terrible, since it is past.We sometimes fail to be considerate. It's no big deal. You could just bought her the yummy cake on her birthday.

wow thats tough, on one hand you're wrong for offering a piece cake and making her wait for it and then on the other she should understand why you would want your husband to be there when you cut it. i think you'll get the benefit of the doubt though since it was your birthday and its not like those come every day right?

If after waiting for a little bit, your husband didn't return when she left you could have given her a saucer and a slice of cake, wrapped it in saran wrap and sent it home with her, the same for her daughter. That is the custom here, but we tend to not make a person wait unless they want to.

I think it is a bit awkward, it is just conditional giving... you give with condition....
