(UPDATE) My (23m) girlfriend (24m) is... transactional?

bro this hits so close to home for me. Like I completely relate. When I started dating my ex-gf, every single time she bought something that was for the two of us, she'll always ask me to e-transfer her half. Even for something that's like 10bucks (so I e-transfer her 5). I thought it was abit odd, but if that's how she wants to split costs, fine by me. Then the one time that I ask her to e-transfer me half for groceries (which was like $70), she responds that she doesn't want us be nit-picky with money....Okay, fine by me, it was what I preferred anyway. Then after our 2-month anniversary dinner, which I paid for (which was $140), she asks me to e-transfer her 15bucks over ubereats order.....huh?? Yeah that pretty much summarizes the entire relationship. I also never got a single gift in the span of our relationship until my birthday, whereas I've gotten her 7/8 gifts in the span of a year. She got me a birthday present then complained that she wanted to take me somewhere cheaper for dinner because she already spent money on the present. Didn't get a cake either, which I was really looking forward to.
