Anyway I told my buddy about this incident the next day and he was genuinely concerned. He said she's emotionally manipulating me and to get out. I talked to my gf later that night she didn't show much concern was like I'm sorry I was drunk I was saying dumb stuff. I went to pull up my notes on my phone to address what she said and she kinda rolled her eyes like seriously you made a note of all this? It wasn't the most productive conversation. Is this something worth looking past like hey this is a 1x drunk thing or is really bad?
I have a different take from that of your buddy. What I see is a woman who shared some of her deepest pain with a guy and when didn't seem to be listening she found out that he was on his phone. No wonder she lashed out.

I think it is quite often a good exercise to ask what another person likely felt about what I did, rather than explaining/justifying myself. I think this might be a good exercise to try when you are thinking about this relationship.
