It is a tough situation that I went through with my former girl friend, I have been playing poker for many years prior to meeting her, and she was aware of it.  How ever as our relationship grew she began seeing the time that was involved with me playing poker both online and in casino's.

She ended up moving in with me and she had two young children that also moved in.  It first started out that all this money you have put aside for poker could be used for what she deemed "better things, ie vacations, toys, going out more for dinner, and so on"  If I loved her and her children I should not be so selfish with my poker money.  Then it became about the time spent gambling the trips to vegas and other casinos for tourneys.

The fact that she her self was not a gambler and despised casinos was also a strain on the relationship as she would not go on trips with me.

Eventually I had to make a decision for myself. To either give up poker or give up the relationship.  I am still playing poker and no longer dating her, although we did remain friends and I see her children quite a bit and her daughter is now a poker enthusiast and player, and a fairly good one, with some coaching from me.
