I'm normally not someone to post something like this, but in the spirit of contributing to the success of Lemmy, here goes:

This year for Valentine's Day I included a large bag of my wife's favorite chocolate as part of her gift. She happily put it in a bowl in our office so she could grab them while working.

Since then, I've been restocking the bowl whenever it starts getting low. I figured this would be a sweet gesture (no pun intended) that would put a small smile on her face once she noticed. Just a small thing to show how much I care about her.

Well, that's not what happened. Yesterday she finally realized something fishy was going on with the bowl and confronted me on it. I admitted that, yes, I had been refilling it for her. She got upset, and said I'm an AH for "pranking" her like that. I tried to explain my reasoning, and I think it helped a bit, but she was still upset.

This is just devastating for me that my "kind" gesture could go so horribly wrong.

So, AITA here?

NTA She’s probably just upset with herself because she ate too much chocolate (in her opinion) and now feels badly about it. She feels the need to place blame somewhere, anywhere but on herself. I don’t think you did anything wrong. What you did was super sweet.
