I thought the whole point of being with someone is to spoil them rotten, better than being tightfisted.
Really? I thought it was about enjoying the time spent together and the love for one another. You sound like the OP's girlfriend, your putting far to much value on material things.
i am very lucky my fella spoils me rotten 24/7.
And if he didn't spoil you rotten 24/7? What then?
I agree with the guy who says his girlfriend is his best friend, I am in the same situation. I've been going out with my girlfriend for almost 8 years and the last thing I'd want her to do is splash the cash on me, not because I don't like presents (come on, who doesn't?) but I'd rather she saved it up so we could go on holiday or get something nice done to/bought for the house. Also don't get me wrong, I like to buy things for my girlfriend but she feels the same way I do so it gets saved up and we live a better life because of it

Also, in before GAY.
The problem comes when the purchase of said material is held as a vital condition of the relationship and is endemic of other problems.
