I shouted at my girlfriend when she asked me why I was in a bad mood

I regret shouting at my girlfriend and causing tension in our relationship. I should have been more patient and understanding, especially when she was going through a tough time with her father's accident

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had been more empathetic and aware of her feelings"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly and honestly with your partner, and try to understand their perspective, even when you're feeling upset or frustrated"
