I think this is more common in relationships in which one person is of the
"bright" type you described, and the other is not.  The latter does not
understand intellectual motivation, and can't thus understand why he or she
is not more important than some purely intellectual pursuit.

Really, though, I think it is more a function of a different personality
trait.  The people who are "bright" in such a case perhaps tend to be that
way BECAUSE they have this interest in such pursuits.  I'm not sure that
intelligence is the cause here.
