What does it mean when people ask “What do you bring to the table”?

I’ve seen it browsing around sometimes and even referenced in convos IRL. But I’m not entirely sure what the asker would be looking for. For example, someone financially stable, stable job, pays own bills, own place, has own friends, have hobbies etc. But is that bringing something to the table or just exhibiting stability?

Would it be more mental/emotional? Like they are self aware or emotionally intelligent for example

Or are they simply asking “what can you do for me”? Like can you cook, clean, be my personal support system etc

Really just wondering lol

The difference between being right and being understood

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.
