If you're having problems communicating (or being understood) now, that is a big indicator of what the future may hold. You're only 28. The most important discussion you might be having is whether or not to have to children. Wait until more serious questions about how you two want your life to unfold, or (the even more difficult) estate planning to happen. Or the painful discussions dealing with aging parents, death of family/friends, and all the other things that people rarely need to have concrete discussions on in their 20s and 30s. If you're having problems communicating about your passion, just wait until serious topics have to be thought about.

In my experience this isn't a problem. By and large, I don't communicate with my girlfriend about intellectual shit. However, we try very hard to communicate with each other about serious life issues, including the death of my mother, her medical problems, whether we want to have kids and if so how many, how to match our career and life goals so we can spend our lives together, and so forth. Communicating about that stuff and sharing intellectual observations are two entirely different ballgames.
