My girlfriend has decided that we shouldn't get each other birthday gifts because she may be spending more on my gift than I am on hers? And she may be getting me more gifts?
I told her not to spend too much...but she said she wanted to and then because I'm not able to spend that much at the time she says that she's not buying anything for me then?
What do you guys think about this?
I mean...that's just dumb to me. It's not about how much it's worth...sigh.

If she is concerned about it. Set a limit on price. That will bring out creativity in both of you.

Well it sounds like she thinks you can't afford her. But you could always make it a fun thing. Tell her to limit it to one gift that is under a certain amount. One the other hand if she would spend that much anyway tell her that price doesnt matter to you and that you wont care how much it is. Tell her you want to do birthday gifts or a comprimise or something cause she shouldnt just make the decision and be done you should have a say too. Dont start a fight but try and find a medium that she could be happy with too

You are right it is NOT about the price it is the love behind the gift. If she is being this petty about the cost of a gift she is immature. She needs to learn to compromise with you about the price to spend on gifts, not compete with you.
Consider finding a new girlfriend or wait for her to grow up.

Based on what you have said, I think she needs to get her priorities in order.
A good relationship is not based on gifts or who spends what.
A good relationship is based on respect, love, trust, communication, and a whole host of other things that have nothing at all to do with material things.
Perhaps you should sit down with her and have a respectful, calm conversation about this. Make sure you listen to her, and she should listen to you.
Don't argue. Just have a heart to heart conversation with her, and perhaps you two can come to an understanding that will keep your relationship a happy and healthy one.

Well,
Umm sorry to say this, but any girl that's really that concerned isn't the one for you. If it were me it doesn't matter how much you spend. It' about the thought you put into it
I say dump her-Not JUST because of this, just wait more bad times will come u just wait and see!

set the gift price on a limit amount of money, you can tell her that you guys can buy gifts not more than a 50$ or something, that way she can get whatever she want for you and you can get whatever you want for her.

She is counting on ur gift price,
but not notice ur feelings with that hug or less amount of money paid gift.
I think u should better talk.
another point of view is that....
she is caring of u that u may get some kind of feel if she brought another more price gift....
BEST OF LUCK IN RELATIONSHIP.

your girlfriend sounds like a spoiled brat and a little too focused on the giving/receiving of the gift than the thought behind it. i hope you guys are around 16 years old, because that's what it sounds like from the scenario

Your girlfriend a materialistic... I can't say the rest... lol... leave her now or later on be in debt because she's ran up every credit card she can get and left you with the debt while she's off cheating with a rich guy... trust!
