Yesterday night i edited a pic for my gf to keep as her profile pic, the edit turned out really amazing.

I waited 5 min for her to change it but she didn't and I got really angry cuz i put a decent bit of effort in the edit.

Then in the anger I deleted the pic I sent her, at which point she said she was just looking for the pic but couldn't find it.

I then sent it to her again and said "no need to keep it for me, if u don't want to" and then she got upset and said OK and we got into a bit of a fight.

She then said that she had just had a fight with her sister and was upset and that's why she didn't change it right away.

Then i started apologizing a LOT and asking her to keep it as her Profile pic if she has really forgiven me and I did the same this morning, Even as I was doing that I felt this is not alpha behavior but I just couldn't stop myself as i felt that apologizing when I realize I'am wrong is also important.

I know I didn't handle the situation right but what would have been the right way? I just am not sure, can someone tell me what a mature and alpha way would have been to handle this situation?
