I'm sure lots of people have had this problem.  It's called incompatability.
The usual answer is to break up and find someone else who shares more of
your interests.  Obviously you do have some interests in common.  Have you
tried new interests neither of you have experienced before?  (sky diving?,
scuba/skin diving, swimming to hawaii from chicago ill.? :-} )  If you can't
find more interests in common you are going to end up separated, so...
...seek soon, size up and settle or separate!

Amnesia, a wonderful sounding word.  If I could only remember what it means.
