I spent 2.5 days over new years with my girlfriend and she was mostly great but at the end of the day yesterday she started acting horrible. After a small argument I left on a very sour note. Less than an hour later she called me and was very apologetic. Today she even invited me over for dinner yet again. I went out for errands with my dad today and told him what happened with my girlfriend. He told me I should not reward bad behavior so I should not see my girlfriend tonight.

My girlfriend was very upset when I told her I was going to hang out with my little sister instead of her tonight. Not because she couldn't live without seeing me for a day, but because she felt that my dad must have told me not to see her today. So I just lied and said no, I didnt talk about her to my dad at all and I was long overdue for movie night with my sister. Pretty sure she did not believe me.

Did I do the right thing? I can't just tell her that I am punishing her for being a little bit of a bitch. Even though she did apologize almost immediately and clearly wanted to make it up for me today, she still ruined our weekend and I think it is best we get a few days of space.
