A girlfriend learns the hard way.

Personally I think the reply is well worth posting up in here. If you start out answering to your girlfriend this early on it just gets worse with time. Look I understand her concern, but I bet he is not posting up in the Barbie site complaining about her spending her own money on a new purse or some rediculous proceedure to make her boobs bigger. If more partners were more willing to do just what was suggested maybe the divorce rate would not be so high across the nation. Finding someone who has similar interests to your own really does make a huge diffrence in how well the relationship works out over time. If your interests move in two diffrent directions that is exactly where the relationship is headed. Its a shame that so many of us do not find this out until it is too late. Thank God my wife is hugely supportive in whatever I decide to do with my spare time, and she never complains about me spending money on R/C, because I try to keep it reasonable.

Agreed. However, some couples have interests that align early in the relationship, but one partner grows while the other stagnates. This is pretty common (know from experience).
