Are you sure? Seriously. Did you see what everyone is saying about how you playing the same game and reinforcing it for her? What stopped you from just saying, if you want to go to Chicago, go to Chicago?
In the OP's defense, the wife put the son in the middle of it this time.
And OP, if you dislike the GF, why encourage a weekend away? The young MAN is doing what he should do. No need for a reward--a simple thank you works just as well.
The breakfast in bed, etc.--OP you're trying to avoid one of her tantrums here by appeasing her; avoiding the truth. Too late to back out though. Now, you could have just surprised her with breakfast, etc. as a way of saying "Thanks for working on our marriage. (although it was a minimal effort-going to counseling).
Well, this is why they're going to marriage counseling.
The bigger question is: Does OP know what to do if his wife is having a tantrum? Probably not because he just given his wife another appeasement. We can only hope that the marriage counselor would give the OP tools to handle this situation in a fair (adult) manner.

In my own defense, I've tried to talk to her but when she locks herself in our room and tells to go away, there's no reasoning with her until she comes out. Yes, admittedly, I do give her appeasements to avoid tantrums
