Expected more from birthday text after big fight

Received a dry 'Happy birthday' text after a huge fight about relationship issues

What I wish I knew
"He could have tried to break the ice on my birthday"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate effort after conflicts, don't always expect the other to initiate"

7/10
Clear regret.
The downsides outweighed what was gained.
