<human>: This will be my second Christmas with my boyfriend, we will have been dating almost two years by Christmas. Last year, he urged that we put a monetary value on how much each of us will spend on gifts and I said $100 (because that is what I could afford). No problem, we had a nice Christmas. Now again this year, my boyfriend asked how much we are spending on gifts. I said my budget is $100 and he said fine. At first, he even said he just wants $100 which I thought was tacky to ask.

 I want to know if it is weird that my boyfriend insists we spend an equal amount on gifts; he makes significantly more money than I do (2.5x), but keeps pestering me about a hard number to spend. Personally, I use $100 as my ballpark but if something that may cost a bit more if its worth it. I feel I can only say how much I am comfortably spending, but it really takes the fun out of gift giving knowing that he is so tit for tat about it. Is this out of the ordinary? When giving gifts to friends and family members, I have never discussed money.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Boyfriend insists we spend equal amounts on Xmas gifts to be "fair," I think it is a weird thing to pester me about.
