The trick is to get a beater, paint it black, and tell your partner it is for emergencies.
The bit by bit replace everything.
Eventually you will need to get a frame ... but nowadays most frames are black anyway .... you can cover the decals with electrical tape.

can you still get your S.O. to accept that you need a new bike?

Put that old bike in storage and get one of these... 
Kidding aside, the Tarmac is an incredible bike, I would love to own one

The bike is still going strong.
Newer ones probably ride better, but have a stupid seat post clamp,
and I'm loath to break up the 10 speed stable, or to spend $$$.

Money is worthless if you never spend it.

Allegedly** assaulted.
Looks like surface scratches to me. Don't think it has structural damages, but you never know. Did you have the frame inspected? I would have wrapped the whole thing instead. New color = new bike (well, sort of). lol
This is why I don't leave my bike out of my sight.
