I don't know of the other side of the World, but in this side of the World, men are responsible for every financial responses in both marriage and the boy/girlfriends relationships.
In our lives the responsibility for women only after they marry us and men do not have the responsibility for girlfriends regarding financial responses to their necessities of life.
Now, she said the guy is not being caring and romantic simply because other persons to her notice are being gifted of materialistic items instead of money. She expected me to purchase her items with the gifted money.
This is just how awkward and lack of financial sensibilities some women could be who just sits, makes demands and gets what they wanted without having the compassions of how hard it is to make the money's they spends so carelessly.
I want to speak after marriage not when dating and we should direct women not the other way about those who regulate us. Generally, women prefer to be rewarded with their favorite items and that does not mean that the gift is given every week because when we are married there are times when we give gifts to our wife every time an important moment in the relationship. The husband also should not be too stingy to the wife because the source of sustenance sometimes also comes from his prayer, so giving a gift is something that is commonly done as long as it is not excessive.
If women are directed at the right path then I am sure they will ask for something based on appropriateness because in fact they understand the condition of her husband. It is precisely the woman who asked for great demands from the husband because of the husband's mistakes himself because it was too spoiled and not being a matter of heading as the head of the household.
