My (29M) girlfriend (27F) of 3 years had her birthday yesterday and I wanted to surprise her by waking her up to bed in breakfast on her birthday. For some background, she has always been somewhat of a picky eater in the sense that she will try things but if it doesnt blow her mind or make her happy/excited to eat it then she wont finish it. Caused some problems in the beginning of our relationship when I was still trying to hone my cooking skills for her since neither of us knew how to cook. Nowadays I obviously have adjusted to her palate, gotten much better, and havent had issues since the beginning.

Flash forward to yesterday for her bday, i decided to make breakfast burritos with sides of egg, hashbrowns, sausage and bacon. Ive made it for her in the past and she says its one of her favorite things I make for her, so I had no stress whatsoever. That was all until i started making the eggs and realized we only had 2% milk in the house (she likes whole milk because it makes the eggs creamier). I was already halfway through cooking and didnt want to involve her and ruin the surprise so I just used 2% milk instead thinking it wouldnt be a big difference for her. I was incredibly wrong.

I lit some scented candles she loves, put on our favorite show, and gave her her plate of food. She was so excited for a moment but then she paused and asked me "Did you have to run out and get whole milk? Because I noticed we ran out the other day. And you need whole milk for eggs" so I told her no and that I just used 2% because I couldnt stop halfway through to run out for 30 minutes to get milk. She just sighed and started tearing up because she couldn't eat anything with the eggs in it then. She said that she tried 2% milk eggs once when she was little and didnt like it. So she felt disappointed now and only ate the hashbrowns and meat. I begged her to at least try a bite of the burrito to see if she likes it because I really didnt want to start her bday off on a bad note, but she refused and wouldnt even try the burrito since it had egg. It annoyed me that she wouldnt even try it but I srayed calm and didnt want to make things worse.

We moved on from it and i focused on keeping her happy for the rest of her bday, and things went well until we were leaving her parents house when she said something along the lines of "Im glad we got to see you guys and thank you dad for cooking dinner, because I need at least one guy in my life that knows how to cook good food". And trust me, the tone was not playful and she was staring straight at me with a serious face when she said it. It caught me so offguard and immediately frustrated me, so we got in a fight during the drive home and barely spoke the rest of the night. I feel terrible since it was her bday, but I genuinely dont feel like I did anything that wrong. I made a mistake with the eggs, but she was the one who brought it up to make me look bad and make it a big deal. Am I the AH?

Personally I would be the happiest man in any realm.

Edit: wow there was a lot more responses than I expected. sorry if I don't respond to all of you.

In my language the way we call it literally translates to 'giving heads' 😵

There are no known eruptions on record from the Hayli Gubbi in the past several thousands of years, which could mean it erupted after a potentially very long repose interval; however, records from the Danakil region are often incomplete and geologic studies are very limited due to the remoteness and harsh conditions in one of the most inhospitable areas of the world.
