AITA for being upset my girlfriend didn't respond to my long awaited good news in a timely manner?

Post Body

Me and my girlfriend are in a long distance relationship. We talk on the phone 3 to 4 times a week and text every day.

She knows I have been job hunting for 2 months and FINALLY landed a good paying job. She knows how hard I've been pursuing this particular job; I've had to study and pass exams for it for crying out loud. I put a lot of effort into landing this, and she was very aware.

The morning I got the confirmation email saying I got the job, she was the first person I texted, expressing my releif and joy...24 hour later, no response. She is usually very quick to reply to my texts so this kind of worried me.

I really wanted to share the joy with her, and it was a real letdown to be honest... I felt very alone. The joy had kind of faded away.

I text her again, "hey, everything ok?"She replies, saying she read the text, but was really busy and had a long night partying with friends, didnt sleep much, etc, but she was happy I got the job. She said all this after I basically coaxed her into replying. Who knows how long she would've taken if I didnt text her asking if she's ok.

All I wanted was a quick text saying congratulations.

A few hours ago we were on the phone and I told her it made me really upset that she was so delayed in responding about me getting the job. She said she was sorry, but she was just really busy. Too busy to send a "congrats babe!" AITA for even bringing this up to her? A part of me feels like I guilt tripped her for not being supportive of me, but I feel hurt.

TLDR: girlfriend left me on read and didn't respond to news of me landing a great job, until I basically coaxed her to reply. AITA for guilt tripping her?
