Yeah I've heard good things about Groningen.
But I don't know, I guess I wanted to get out of NL, particularly to Flanders. Ironically to speak Nederlands (or 'vlaams') to see how my Amsterdam accented Dutch holds up, or can at least be aided with several biertjes!
Brugge is out of the question as the gf has been several times, and sees it's style as too much of a smaller Amsterdam (like Utrecht and Haarlem) with way too many tourists and way too boringly small.
While I've never been, I frankly agree and would rather see Ghent which with roughly 200k inhabitants, is an actual city (albeit a small one at that) while remaining quite quaint and picturesque.
However I have a feeling the ole lady won't be too keen on the extended travel time, so that could be a deal breaker as well...
Maybe I'll look into Köln as well...

Köln is great for a couple of days. Plenty to see and do and it's different from Holland so you'll feel like you actually got away. Only about 2 hours from Amsterdam Centraal if I remember right.
