Definitely sounds like you made a good decision. This is a good forum, and many of the members here are helpful and usually willing to send a bit of good advice.
The girlfriend doesn't really understand any of my hobbies, but usually is alright with me doing my own thing. I don't know though, if I was ever given an ultimatum, I can assure you that it would backfire on the person trying to control me. I am a human, and I am my own. Try to remember that about yourself.
