Question #1306139876Monday, 23-May-2011
Category: Duality Advice ENFj ISTj Relationship
I am an EIE and my boyfriend of three years is LSI, we are duals. We fight a lot, but I think it's because we are not in happy places in our lives. I can be a bit of a drama queen and cause problems because I'm not where I would like to be in life- we are recent college graduates that don't have the jobs we want, yet. However, we are now breaking up because he plans to move so that he can find a better job and when I suggested that we can still be together he says that it's not possible since I would just concentrate all my efforts on him and the long distance relationship and get hurt over unmet expectations, meaning that both of us would not be improving our current situations. I see his point and he supports this claim by pointing out that since graduating a year and a half ago, I have still yet to even begin looking for a better job. He agrees that if anything, after we have established our own lives and reach some level of career satisfaction, we can try again if we still have this feeling. I know LSIs place career satisfaction at an even higher level than most EIEs and other betas and I understand why he must do this for himself and why he is pushing me to do the same for my future, but what are other LSI/EIE experiences? I hear that some dual LSI/EIE can spend much time apart to do what they need to do and then come back together, but I've never met any real life EIE/LSI, or any dual couple that can share that they have had a similar experience. I also don't know why our fights are still so explosive. I thought EIE/LSI couples are only that way in the beginning stages of their relationship because it's like "breaking in an engine". Are there any EIE/LSI couples that can share their insights? -- Anonymous

A20 A18. The difference of functions for introverted types is a serious discrepancy between MBTI and Socionics. Both can not be valid at the same time. -- jgbr
