Can extremely different personality types actually compliment each other or does it just lead to a hole where your needs aren't being met?
H is an introvert and I am an extrovert. I enjoy going out, exploring and having adventures. H idea of a good time is to sit home and read or watch tv (although before MLC he use to enjoy going out occasionally; however would never plan it). I enjoy a house full of friends who drop by unexpectedly and laughter..... H enjoys quiet of his home to recharge.
He has always struggled to put passion in our relationship and make me feel special. He is emotionally very reserve however drawn to people who are outgoing. He becomes an observer in most of those relationships. He uses extroverts openness to gain emotional access to a friendship. This works for a while; but then he doesn't know how to participate in the relationship and the friendships become shallow or go away.
This is a chance for us both to re-evaluate our lives and what we want going forward.
Anyone else with experiences of Introverts and Extrovert relationships?
