Sounds like you need to spend more time with her or no more time with her.
Her "demands" don't seem that unreasonable, do they? You sound a bit self-centered and no relationship can really have room for that.
BUT....if you turn it around a bit and tell her you will quit poker but will take on a second job of about 10 hours per week to start building The Nestegg..... see what her response is. If she is all for it....and you make more playing poker than a 10 hour burger-flippin' job will bring in.... the writing is on the wall. (It's the idea of poker...not the extra work that is the issue)
If you are making less than a job at McDonald's....then you are choosing recreation alone over recreation with her.
