I met my girlfriend through a fandom that I have now basically left, and actually it is quite hard. Not to stay together - so in that sense, we're doing fine - but fandom used to be a thing that drew us together and now it's a thing that separates us. I feel bad for not liking the thing we spent time on together, and I feel awkward about liking my new fandom so much and don't want to talk about it as much as I'd like to/I feel guilty about talking to other people in my new fandom. I feel like this isn't a particularly friendly enviroment to say this, but it's true - fandom is something we emotionally committed to and met through. It's like if you met through a friend and now your partner hates that friend but you still like and hang out with them. They want to know how you can still bear to be around the friend, etc (and this is an extreme example, because I don't hate my old fandom. I just no longer love it). The fear does make sense, I think. But I hope that you and your boyfriend have enough in common to stay together, fandom or no fandom.
