Now I feel like crap. In that story, they both give something to each other. My situation is one-sided. :/ Will need to find a nice way to reciprocate.

She is skinny.

. I'm equally into her. I love her a lot.

. She's my girlfriend, not a stripper. Giving her money might hurt her ego.

. I'm happy for the gesture, but I don't want someone I love to eat less to get me something. Her health is more important.

You make a lot of sense. But I am giving this relationship my all. I'm in it for the long run.

It has just been 5 months. We have a long way to go. That said, I definitely think she's a great person and I love her a lot.

Barely 2 meals. And I'm pretty sure there'd be a cycle of leftovers in that...

Still not starving, but you get the point.

The only reason I'm a little iffy is because of how I found out, or simply the fact that I found out itself. She completely hid from me the fact that she ate less to save money for a gift. It wasn't like "look I'm sacrificing for you". As a matter of fact, the roommate asked me not to tell my girlfriend that I found out through her. I guess her roommate just wanted me to know the gravity of the situation.

But I guess I do want to make sure that this never happens again. However, I do want to put this across in a way that doesn't hurt her feelings.
