Opposites attract but don't last?
Hi all
So I've been reading a lot in the area of psychology lately, specifically the myers/briggs personality types.
I have been in two serious relationships, the first he was in many ways my best friend, but the sexual part of the relationship floundered, the second I felt overwhelmingly attracted to, but we were so different on many levels (he found emotional intimacy very hard, was very independent to the point where I always felt left out to an extent) it didn't work out.
I am in myers/briggs an enfj, my opposing side is an istp (my 2nd partner), I believe in love deeply but I wonder if there's a certain science to it - or maybe a trade-off i.e. the better you get along often, the less passionate it is.
Has anyone here done the test or have any experience of what I'm talking about here?
I'd be interested to know how much people here believe in personality typing and how useful it is in this area?
