Lookback: After argument and her birthday

“Made little effort for her birthday due to hurt feelings”

My girlfriend said hurtful things during an argument, making me question our relationship. I didn't make much effort for her birthday, which upset her.

What I wish I knew
"How her words would affect me and our relationship"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly and honestly, especially during conflicts"
