I don't like "owing" people stuff either. This is an interesting situation especially considering the subject is female. I've never encountered a woman that wasn't okay with pure NSA gifts. I've had some guy friends that were giant assholes about petty things... like who picked up the damn bar tab after only two rounds. I'm a giant jerk about holidays because I tell people not to buy me gifts. They end up doing it anyway and then I look like a douche because I don't feel like dropping money for no good reason just because the commercial machine in the US says so. Tradition be damned.
Money is a huge issue in relationships and usually sits on who makes it and how it is spent. I think part of the reason my last relationship failed was me being a cheap bastard. I've since done a 180. Gotta find a happy medium soon... but I gotta say... she loves the leather sectional and slate table.
Your girl? Perhaps she's been burned before somewhere or had someone extend a "line of credit" and then use it against her.
