Should I have agreed to make the cake, even knowing it would be stressful and unfair? She never said anything hurtful to me, and she seemed genuinely excited about the wedding—but I couldn’t shake the feeling that her plan wasn’t realistic, and that my refusal would only be one small crack in a wedding built on borrowed time and effort. I wanted to be honest, but I also wanted to preserve her happiness.
The tension between fairness and friendship has me questioning whether I did the right thing.
