Alright, this is the whole story.
On Valentine's day, we went out to a nice sushi restaurant. Our favorite one. I got her a gift and some flowers. The problem was with the flowers. My mom is a florist and I asked her for some roses on Valentine's day. My mom gave me 5 roses on Valentine's day and later that night, I picked up my GF from work. On the drive to dinner and during dinner, she was complaining about random little things, but I couldn't tell why. I really didn't want to get into an argument on a night when we were supposed to be celebrating our love for each other, so I just tried to bear it. After dinner, I dropped her off and drove home. While driving, I started wondering why she was complaining about such little things. The more I thought about it, the more I got upset. She did nothing for me on Valentine's day (not even a card), and she was complaining to me.
The next day, I told her how I felt about how she had no right to complain about Valentine's day. She then told me that she was upset over the number of roses I got her on Valentine's day and while she didn't say it explicitly, she also wanted a more extravagant gift from me (100-200$ range). For those of you wondering, I got her some chocolate, 100+ pieces of gum (it's an inside joke), a Kaplan GRE prep book, and dinner. The entire thing put me back around $120, which isn't a whole lot.
I didn't know who was at fault. Was I being cheap or was she expecting too much from me. Both maybe? I couldn't decide, and posted here on the TFP.
