My girlfriend gives me money every time I buy her a present. Or she just goes out and buys something equally expensive for me.

Is this normal?

I used to buy gifts for my ex girlfriends and they would usually just accept them with a smile. My friends’ girlfriends too are happy to receive presents.

My current gf and I have been together for about two years. We’re both successful. She always insists on splitting the bill when we go out.

She looks really uncomfortable when I give her expensive presents out of the blue. At first, she would simply refuse to accept them. But when I insisted, she started going out to but something, of equal value, for me immediately.

If she’s unable to do that, she simply gives me money. The amount being equal to the value of the gift I gave her.

I feel like she should loosen up a little and not let herself get so stressed over a present.

I wonder what people here have to say.
