I think generally this might not be about relationships per se, but simply what kind of person you are. It would seem weird to me to be in a relationship with a person and not get involved in their field; but that's just because I'm that kind of person. I view everyone as a potential teacher. When I dated a physicist, I got into physics; a computer scientist, computer science; a Go player, I learned to play Go; an epidemiologist, I learned epidemiology. But not everyone is like that, in fact probably most people are not... so it probably has less to do with your relationship and more about personality type.
