AITA for ending my relationship with my new girlfriend because she wouldn't pay me back my $50 and told me I was acting desperate and that it was unattractive?

It's not about the money, it's about her disrespect and gaslighting him. I absolutely hate when someone else is clearly in the wrong, and they put it on you like you did something. He lent her money, she refuses to pay it back, and what's worse is that she refuses to even discuss it with him. This should tell him everything he needs to know about her and her intentions. She's not someone with empathy, she has no communication skills, and she doesn't care how she treats and mistreats people, especially her loved ones.

Girlfriend calls boyfriend unattractive and desperate when he brings up her $50 debt to him, the red flags are a wake up call for their 3 month relationship: “I’ll pay it back when I have it”
Relationship red flags are real. It's understandable that when you like someone, you want to see everything good in them. You want to forgive them, you want to hear their side, you want to be empathetic, and you want to see their point of view and move past it. In the beginning, it always seems like everything's fine, and that when something comes up, it's early enough that you can just brush it aside. Or is it? Or is it early enough to notice the red flags, and decide that they're not going to get any better than this, and that it's better to walk away now instead of trying to force something to fit.
I've tried to make it work before with red flags early on, and I can safely say that it's better to save yourself the trouble. Don't settle for things you think you'll be able to teach a grown man. It's better to leave them high and dry early on.
In the story below, that's exactly what the protagonist does. In his nascent 3 month relationship, he decides to leave his girlfriend over a seemingly innocuous and small thing, a debt of $50. But in the end, it's not really about money, is it?
