If you're really getting insulted everytime you have to break up.
If you will consider girlfriend and your audio as two separate issues that aren't compatible and should be treated separately absolutely without paying attention on how they "interact" mutually, it's OK to continue relationships.
My wife also doesn't hear the differences (she can only say that it sounds louder than in the boombox), although she respecs my listening time like she would respect my dinner or breakfast time.
