Apology Letters to Girlfriend.
Dismissing Your Feelings During Our Argument

I'm sorry I shut you down and dismissed your feelings last night. I said things and reacted in a way that made you feel unheard and small, and I know that hurt you — that was never my intention, but intention doesn't matter when the result is pain. I can see now how my tone and interruptions turned what should have been a conversation into a one-sided moment where you couldn't share what you needed to. That left you frustrated and alone in something that matters to both of us. I take full responsibility for getting defensive instead of listening, and for not giving you the respect and space you deserve. I won't make excuses. I was wrong to react the way I did. To make sure this doesn't happen again, I will practice pausing before I respond, putting my phone away when we talk, and repeating back what you say so you know I've heard you. If I feel myself getting defensive, I will say I need a minute and come back without shutting you out. I want to learn better ways to be present for you. I care about how you're feeling and I want to repair this. If you're willing, I would like to hear what you need from me now — whether it's time, a conversation, or something else — and I will follow through. I'm here when you're ready to talk.
