<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I hesitate to post a question like this. It's a sensitive topic and I know I'll sound like a jackass. 

I've been with my girlfriend for 3 years now. The relationship is good in that we love, care and support each other emotionally. We have a great sex life as well, and we're in agreement about our worldview and politics (although we don't talk politics much). 

The problem is mostly me. I wish she was more intellectual. I love to teach and I love to be taught and to learn. So I wish my girlfriend was more into learning and sharing newly acquired knowledge. I wish she had greater aspirations for learning and growing. And if I'm honest, I wish she didn't talk like a mid-western redneck, "ya know"? (Which I admit, is insensitive of me but I would never say anything to her about it).

So I ask my fellow redditors, are you in a similar relationship and does it work for you? Are you content in receiving intellectual stimulation from your friends and colleagues? Am I a jackass for even asking such a thing?
<bot>: Unequally yoked with girlfriend in terms of intellectual needs. Can a long term relationship work when that is the case?
