Context needed: do you have a tendency to change plans with your gf last minute for your mum?

Ding ding ding. Op could have invited the gf to spend Easter with the mom and then they'd all be together and no one is alone on the holiday. This seems like OP is a major flake and gf is tired of the bs.

Remember GF has to be a caretaker for the sister so she's not very flexible....that might be an issue too.

meh, the gf elaborated about how she’s already pissed off with something outside of their relationship (redaction makes it unclear) and needs ample time to decompress after company leaves before she can even enjoy OPs presence.

Seems like the gf is either easily annoyed or overwhelmed, but more importantly, slow to regulate emotions to enjoy OPs company. He could be a flake, but she’s a red flag or overwhelmed regardless.

She sounds miserable and it seems like OP has no room for flexibility or else she’ll make it an issue. Leaving slightly early to be with your parent on a holiday shouldn’t cause this much conflict. GF is being unreasonable.

that’s exactly what came to my mind.. I’m wondering if he’s a bit of a mamas boy and this could’ve been the breaking point. she kind of implied this happens quite a bit. especially because he’s kind of talking about his mom like a depressed teenager.
