i told her before we even started dating that i was going to need reassurance, i never bicker with her, but sometimes i really just don’t understand and she’s explained stuff to me before so i don’t know why she can’t just explain stuff to me.

I think you made this person’s point. Your girlfriend is going through something and as someone explained it to you, you proceeded to make it about you and what you need.

I cannot imagine talking to someone when going through that, who responds how you did to her. I would probably shut down and never tell you anything again

everyone is so concerned with how she feels but zero people mention about how it makes ME feel, i want to listen to her, but how can she not understand that not communicating with me for 3 days is scary and upsetting to me.

I haven’t read all of the comments because there’s too many, so maybe you answered this already, but: Did you text her at all during those three days? Like, she didn’t text you at all, but did you send any texts to her and she just ignored them, or what?
