Hey! I'm brand new here! I've been on personality databased for a little while so I figured it was time to join the cool kids club!

INFJ X INTJ

I have been hearing a lot about two Ni doms being in a relationship is rather chaotic. It's been quite easy for me and haven't had any issues. In fact it's been so easy I don't feel like either of us are even trying. It's just like, "Hey you want to watch anime and cry together?" "Sure, why not?". To clarify my partner dislikes emotional things unless it is with me, if someone is venting he often feels uncomfortable and seeks me out to comfort the person who needs help and give solid advice, since it's what I do best. ;)

I recall someone comparing INTJs to cats in the way that if you let them warm up to you they will love and care for you and create a strong bond that seems hard to break. My INTJ boyfriend has a strict moral code, very similar to the one I hold myself to. He values moral consistency over everything. He is great at talking on morality and philosophical topics and often debates them. I've been getting him into psychology and we often talk for hours on both philosophy and psychology as well as the next step to being more morally consistent. We vent to each other and give each other advice when either of us need it. It's always very refreshing since he always let's me know how he's feeling when I ask. You don't get that often when you meet people these days.

I have autism so it is sometimes difficult to get my words out properly and being with him has really helped me since he is able to better word what I am trying to say and understand through the mess of (sometimes) broken sentences. When I'm not feeling too good and can't take the time or have energy to better my wording he'll step in and translate what I want to say for me and be a lovingly accommodating boyfriend. <3

From all I've stated here so far I think it's important to also state our enneagram tritype is the same all except for the wings and instinctual variants 1w2 5w4 3w4 sx/so (me) 1w9 5w6 3w4 so/sx (him). As well as the fact that our sociotypes are perfectly compatible ESI (me) ILI (him). We also have the same normative views and moral code. So the INFJ and INTJ chaos might not effect us much for those reasons. Even though I actually think INTJ X INFJ relationships can be good if both parties are mature, like any relationship.

This is my experience and I am curious to see what you all have to say from your experiences! I'm very happy with the result of my relationship. If you need any advice I'm here to listen or if you have any questions, ask away!

Thank you for this.

I had a long, tiring and immature relationship, with my INTJ.

Yes, you are right! INFJ X INTJ relationships are compatible.
INTJs will never be away from their duty. They will never stop caring.
And INFJ will bring all the romance in the relationship, and will never stop loving.

So that's a perfect combination.
They share similar interests as well. Whatever misunderstandings there are.... all get sorted.

Yess! They are definitely atleast 90% compatible.

But one thing I learnt from this relationship was--- Compatibility is not enough!

That's my experience. Everyone's experience is going to be different. The most important thing in a relationship is --- that you both should really like each other.
Its not that we didn't like each other. We wanted each other, we wanted to spend whole future with each other. We wanted to spend every moment with each other. And it was all mutual. But, there's still something that is missing. I am not exactly able to tell. Basically "passion" was missing. That passion for each other. And you know, these kind of things then take around 15-20 years to come forward, when you finally find the passion in some other person.
We are fortunate that it took us only 2 years to realize this. I am grateful for whatever circumstances that happened in my life during the relationship, which made me realise that we don't want each other. We are only too compatible for each other.

That passion is still not important for him. But for me, it is!
I know I lost my best friend because of this breakup. But, it is what it is.

My best friend is an INFJ.

I am extremely resistant to letting people in. It took her a full year to get me to finally agree to spend time with her. Now we can go through spurts of being inseparable. I'm able to be vulnerable with her.

And yeah, my INTJ loyalty and moral compass makes me feel dutiful in protecting her in ways that people usually take from her like she's some sort of giving tree.

She's changed me for the better. INFJ's are the best.
