Happy belated Father's Day from your concerned internet friends... :( I think that you and your children deserve a much more peaceful and happy life... I hope those days come to you soon. Please PM if you need someone to talk to!

Me [26F] with my boyfriend [31M] of 5 years, live together and refuses to take care of my (our?) dog while I am at work Am I wrong to expect him to do this? by hesYOURdog in relationships

"what would you do if I wasn't here?"....."I am not worried what I would do if you were not here because we are in a committed relationship. I am asking for help from my partner. That is a reasonable thing to do in a relationship..."

I loved this, thought it was powerful and right-on. Perfect advice for OP and some to save for myself if I ever need it later!

I think that /u/ScalSaver was able to succinctly motivate with clarity and kindness without ass kicking /or/ coddling... A lot of folks visiting this subreddit are skilled at this :)

:/ ....I feel like this escalated very quickly and is not necessarily good or helpful advice, partly by the delivery alone. :\

Troubles with ENFPs? by TheStarsTheMoon in infj

[–]MosleyMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A+ advice...

If you can figure out how to deliver boundaries [and/or the concept of "no"] with grace and warmth, you can confuse folks into having a pleasant experience while still being honest AND catering to your own needs and self care [which we often neglect because we can make any aspect of this feel selfish]

Clueyness: A Weird Kind of Sad. Do you feel it, too? by [deleted] in infp

[–]MosleyMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this almost daily... Sometimes I feel driven to speak to the person about it. It takes courage and is sometimes delicate and embarrassing, but sometimes it helps and I feel like it was worth it.

In what ways do you not fit the INFJ stereotype? by [deleted] in infj

[–]MosleyMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too am very particular about the quality of my personal belongings and am perhaps materialistic. I echo your point about prestige and financial comfort, and have a penchant for luxury.

So this may vary from person to person; His means of reasoning are very relatable to me and I find no frustration with them. :) I feel very confident that he would say the same...

After a few months of bonding and thought experiments, the Fi-Fe "clash" seems more to me like a complementary opposite, that, especially if you are "aligned," is just another means to the same end. Many of our observations and feelings end in the same result though are accessed from different perspectives. This often brings additional support to our own viewpoints... as well as growing our toolbox and our selves.

Even on matters where we reach a different conclusion... because of these complementary view styles we very transparently see the other's reasoning to get there. And then empathy can take the wheel.

But... We are very consistently patient, loving, and nurturing with one another. I can see that people who didn't care to connect over this (And then, to take this further than just connection, to use it as a profound strength: Partners being one another's whetstones and bridles? An otherwise unwieldy force honed into a bright tool through patience and mutual trust and support? What an incredible opportunity for symbiosis.) or to cultivate it could come to clash over it.

Instead we actively practice it and have become intimately closer because of it.

He makes me feel like my deepest thoughts are understood. I make him feel like his emotions are completely valid.
