And, although this is irrelevant to the decision, it has actually worked out really well because now some of her trips are road trips with me in the Boxster, meaning that she can enjoy my hobby and I can enjoy hers.

Sigh . . .
I belong to a couple of other forums, and the question of couple's finances sometimes comes up. I've learned that there are many variations on how couples handle money. What works for you, might not work for others.
It's not anything to make a value judgement on.
