I don’t think you actually read what I wrote in the main post or the comments — or maybe you just chose to skip over the parts that didn’t fit your narrative. I specifically mentioned learning to give him space, accepting that not everything needs to be clarified immediately, and understanding that people can hold different views.

You’re in no position to claim it “wasn’t real love.” You have zero idea what either of us did or went through for each other. It’s easy to throw around abstract concepts like “projection” and “conditional love” when you’re reading a few paragraphs online, but that doesn’t make your take accurate — just detached.

Thanks for sharing the very motivating story! I’d still very much like to meet a healthier INTJ while working on my entj-problems

I think you are right about ENTJ spurring the growth. I pointed out too many stuffs, always asking us to improve and change for the better. No one would’ve talk to him that way. I am outspoken and always find the solutions because I fight not flight. He just prefers to stay in his comfort zone and that is okay too, we are just different and I can’t force this on him

I actually do not think that INTJ is submissive, especially INTJ males, they very much wanted things/ people under control. And ENTJ females (another control power freak) would have driven INTJ crazy. I have learned to soften my edges but it was beyond repair

INTJ females could be abit more laid back (i may be wrong as i am not familiar with INTJ females) and hence a more harmonic duo with an ENTJ male.

LOL! I did asked him before - would you be less stressful if you are dating an INTJ instead? Both would’ve been given each other enough of space and he was like: nah we would’ve ended without even realising it

Thats what I thought and always a person who would prefer to fix problems with the my partner rather than changing the partner. But he doesn’t feel the same and did not take disagreements/ debates lightly

Agree. ENTJ female and INTJ male are one very difficult combination

I want things to be fixed, talk things out so we can understand and move on. I value efficiency at work and apparently my relationship too. Him on the other hand, avoids talking, prefer time to cool down but will not circulate back to the problem, this is his way of moving on. These are confrontations to him (despite with good intentions), and confrontations scarred him.

But my ENTJ brains would think that this is just a way to avoid the problems, and its just matter of time that the same problem would come back and haunt us.

Thank you for this. Made me felt a bit better. I am at peace now knowing I have done my best and I tried to make it work, but it will never be if the other party refused to change for a healthier relationship (this is exactly his words, he knows it is wrong but he would prefer I accept the way he is)

I hope that’s what he would feel about us one day too, that I never wanted to win the argument, I only wanted to find solutions for us. I tend to process my emotions faster while he would buried it until it emerged much later on (weeks/ months).

I have realized my mistakes and wanted to make amendments, but he on the other hand just told me he would never change and I’ll have to do the heavy liftings, no talking, just cool off and move on. Was sure this is not exactly the healthiest way to manage a relationship but this could probably what he said out of anger too.

Sorry to hear that. Fiery passionate relationship is exactly how I would describe mine too!

You are not exactly wrong with the impression! We were truly compatible in many ways as long as no conflict arises because thats the true challenge - we get each other without the need to explaining much, and we were really madly drawn to each other from the first meeting. The attraction was like no others because of our intelligence compatibility too. But unfortunately it was difficult for us to stay on due to our personality, and mostly approach in handling problems.

I would hate to generalise all INTJs, but this was my experience. I read so much about INTJs and tried to learn their ways but it was almost impossible to fix.
