This will be a thread in which I will talk about -- and welcome any questions about/discussion around -- my experience as an INTP male who was married to an ENFJ female for 14 years. Everything from how we met to how we ultimately fell apart (divorce), all from the perspective of/with respect to our personality types, if/as may be relevant. As might explore the strengths and weaknesses of the INTP-ENFJ dynamic in the context of a long-term relationship.
I thought this might be worth exploring given how David Keirsey, in his book Please Understand Me II, suggested that INTPs and ENFJs are most apt to be attracted to and be compatible with one another? In any case, I could certainly share quite a bit of perspective on how I found that to be true, and now on the other side of the relationship, where I think there are shadowed weaknesses (again, from a personality type perspective).
As I gather my thoughts on where to begin, I welcome any questions, as might prompt such exploration.
