HAHA. This made me laugh because I have gone through this a lot. I had a girlfriend who found some "old" baseball cards at a antique store and thought she would buy me it. It was a 1988 set. I didn't really know how to react. I knew she tried and it was a show of support for my collecting, but as far as an addition to the collection it was useless.
She has since become my wife and she has learned not to bother with buying actual cards (she still buys books or baseball related trinkets). I don't buy very much but she does support me when I do. Every time I want to sell some of my collection to help ends meet (especially recently now that she is on maternity leave for our second Child born on the Dec 12th) she always tries to make sure it isn't stuff I would regret selling and tries to think of other things we could do to make extra money instead.
