Is it normal to feel materialistic.

I've been with my girlfriend for almost 4years. Here's my financial situation, I am still at school, almost done with my bachelor degree and I have a part time job to earn extra money.

We always buy gift for each other but at a certain time, she wants something more expensive. Is it true that the longer we date, the more expensive we have to spend on each other? I am more a prudence person who financially care about my budget. At some point I cannot afford a Bag of Gucci or LV. Her demand is gradually increased each year. She told me "if you truly love someone, you'll have to spend the money on what I want".

Ok, here what happen. Today, it's our anniversary and I brought her to dinner and gave her gifts. To be honest, I am not rich and 700$ it's a lot for me. When the days end, I told her if she minds I spend less on Christmas because I already spend that much already. The first word she told me was "your cheap", I just don't get it...

Is it normal for a girlfriend to react that way? Sometime, I want to give up this relationship but we've been 4years, it's tough, yeh know!

    Your girlfriend is an idiot, she doesn't love you, she just wants the gifts and Money. Leave her before she bleeds your pocket dry. As J.cole said.
    Her shoulders colder than the shoulders of a gold digging ho when a broke guy approaches. She's a whore bro, and money has NOTHING to do with Love.

    You spent $700 or that's what she wanted you to spend? Either way that's a ridiculous amount and has nothing to do with love!

    She's something like a gold digger, you should stay away from them.

    Not normal. Your girlfriend should realize that you're not in a position to be her sugardaddy. Her expectations are too high, and you don't need to feel pressured into buying her love. I like nice things, too...but I'd rather buy them myself than force a boyfriend into it.

    She is unreasonably selfish.

    You should tell her that if she loved you she would accept that you are not made of money, and that you may just have to spank her for great justice.

    She is a spoiled little brat.

    It almost sounds like she wants you to put your foot down and stand up to her.

    When she does it again, put her over your lap and spank some sense into her. Long and hard.

    I think you will find she is a changed girl once she sees she can't walk over you.

    Ok, I was a little spoiled (not to this extent) when I was younger here's what you should do...make her something or do something nice for her as her next gift...one of 3 things will happen: 1. She will appreciate it (not likely at this point)
    2. She will dump you (then you know she just wanted the stuff you were giving her and you didnt really have a relationship to begin with) or
    3.(Most Likely) She won't be very happy but you will have the opportunity to explain to her that a relationship shouldn't be about the Stuff you can get out of it but what you put into it, and if she could be grateful for what you are putting into it, then maybe at some point you would want to buy her nice things, because you want to and not because they are expected.
