I let my emotions get the best of me

My boyfriend and I had a fight over a small issue and I reacted aggressively, leading him to feel hurt and betrayed

What I wish I knew
"I should have taken a step back and cooled down before reacting"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly and honestly, and try to understand each other's perspectives"
