I can relate to this. Although there is only my fiancee and myself,I still have to provide an income to pay our rent, our bills and do my best to give her the nice things she wants. I'm working a 9-6 job, come home, sit back down and freelance to get more money than my salary brings in, just to pay off our bills. We don't even have anything on finance between us, we live on basics yet we struggle.

Whoa.
She wants you, not "nice things". Neglecting her in order to make money to buy her things is a Very Bad Idea, because you've made yourself fungible
She works as a carer, 6 out of 7 days a week she's up at 5AM and home by 10PM. It's rare we get to spend time together anyway, but when we do, I'd like to make it a nice day and give her something nice.
Plus, she does have expensive taste...
