Unfortunately if you are living together the dogs will be there unless she makes the decision to not have them. I hope that is not the case and you can find some way to live together in harmony with her and the dogs.
As far as allergies go I too am allergic to dogs not as much with poodles because they have more human like hair than some dogs, and don't shed, however having said that no dog is hypo-allergenic and they still have saliva and lick you.
I chose to have poodles but that was my choice and I know your situation is different. When the dogs go to lick you have something there to deter therm , say a command like no, or leave it, and then have something in place to give them that is positive such as a fav. toy or something.
As far as your clothing I assume you don't wear your " best clothes" at all times so I would have them gated when you are coming and going in your nice clothes and when you come home after work or whatever you change before being around the dogs. You can also teach them commands as to not jump on you. I say "off", always reward with a treat after they have done the command or if no treat say good boy or girl.
If you have expensive things lying around where the dogs can get them then who is to blame if they get destroyed???? I say that to my kid's all the time as I have seen many of their toys destroyed and even some of my things. However, being that I am a mature human I am smarter and I teach the dog to behave how I want him to behave in my house. My dogs do not get on my furniture, another good thing if you are allergic. Keep them off the furniture and out of the bedroom. Make sure they have their own nice beds and that is where they sleep. In order to have things the way that you want them you are going to have to make sure " you" are the leader of the pack. Watch a few shows of Ceaser Milan, I find his shows very helpful when dealing with dogs and people and behavior in general.
Good Luck,
and I hope that though you are not a "dog person" that you do find some happiness with your new life and it becomes rewarding and fun instead of a burden. Dog's, especially poodles are very intelligent and can sense when someone doesn't want them around, and that's not a good thing I am sure if you had to live with someone that did not want to be around you it would affect you emotionally and you would not be happy and we all deserve to be happy.
