We had been slowly getting slightly more irritated by each other in our 7 month relationship recently, only for the past 2 weeks, one example is that she said she'd go back on the pill and then when I found out she didn't (I had to ask her) I got a bit annoyed because she always told me she hated sex without a condom and I remember her pulling it off me when I used one. The previous time I saw her things were mostly fine apart from a few minor annoyances (E.g I said some headphones were mine when they were actually hers and argued about it, then I found mine and I didn't say sorry which annoyed her quite a bit).
So we met yesterday outside a Christmas festive event and I could immediately tell things were weird as she was wearing lipstick just for coming to see me (so she couldn't kiss me) and before going in she wanted to walk to a quiet secluded area. She started saying how we've tried fixing it before but how I always have to be right and I never back down, how the only time I show her I like her is when we're in bed and I'm hugging her. She said she doesn't blame me because it's how I am but she just blames the situation. She said maybe we should go on a break and started crying while I just sat there and wasn't bothered (at the time I genuinely wasn't) which led to her saying how I should at least be fighting for her. I told her I do care about her and love her but I just don't cry and agreed with her by saying maybe we should break, then I tried kissing her which she denied and said we probably shouldn't. We walked around the festive event for a bit and I did a few things to which she was laughing at and she tried hugging me and holding my hand a few times which I pulled away from, saying we were friends and said we shouldn't to which she seemed to get quite pissed off at. Eventually I just said maybe we should just go home to which she just agreed.
On the walk back to the train station I stopped her and we talked about having the break. I said 2 weeks and she agreed saying we shouldn't talk for that whole time. I told her one more time that she had meant a lot to me and that she was very important to me to and that I don't want her to feel sad, to which she didn't respond and acted very emotionless. At the station we had a little goodbye and I placed a ring of hers I had into her hand saying 'You've wanted it back all this time, now you've finally got it' which I did kinda romantically. Then I said have a good 2 weeks and I walked off.
Advice on how I should have handled it better, and to what I should do now?
