Ignoring red flags in a 3-year relationship

My girlfriend gets extremely angry over minor things, says hurtful things, threatens to leave, and blocks me. I keep forgiving her because of the good times and because it's my first relationship.

What I wish I knew
"Red flags in relationships can be hard to see, but ignoring them can lead to more harm."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't ignore red flags, even if the relationship is good most of the time. It's better to end a relationship that's unhealthy than to stay in it and regret it later."

Clear regret.
The downsides outweighed what was gained.
