My husband is also very smart and logical, likes math, builds computers for gaming, but he has absolutely no interest in programming at all. We've been together for 6 years, I've brought it up a few times, showed him some things, but he's like "Okay, that's nice. Sorry, just not my thing" And that's fine.

He's a social worker who runs a group home for intellectually disabled adults, and he's been in this career for 15 years now, and he loves it. There's absolutely no reason for him to get into programming, and he's had enough opportunities over the years that if he were drawn to it he would have already done it.

He's certainly supportive of my work, he brags to his friends about cool things I've done, he knows enough to talk about what I do, but as far as actually doing it himself, he just doesn't care. I think you need to be okay with your girlfriend not being a programmer. I mean, do you feel a drive to pick up her career as a hobby? :-p
