I am an ENFP woman. I was married to an INTJ for almost 15 years and left. He was devasted. A man who never cried in his life, cried. But he was always gone, albeit working-- Never around for my emotional needs and when he was,..well he is an INTJ... I am now involved with a INFJ (one letter diff. ) and he is my soul mate--but one problem.. he is far away. Do you think ENFP should avoid long distance relationships? I mean i'm already stressing---

Mon, August 3, 2009 - 11:31 AMhow far away is he?
who is willing to relocate?
because what you didnt like about the former love, was that he wasnt around, always gone. i think him being far away could wear on you in that sense, him not being able to be there because he is far away...maybe?
i wouldnt say avoid them, but think about eliminating those miles. but also dont rush into relocating unless you are really feeling it strongly that this is right.
i had one, and it lasted almost 2 years and then failed. he was an intp though..."i dont wanna know what you THINK, i wann know how you FEEL!" was a constant thought in my head and often heated statement to him.
i was almost going to move to l.a. for him, but i was hesitant to relocate because he never clearly said he wanted me to be there...
so just do your best... its all ya can do.

Tue, August 11, 2009 - 9:43 AMAlso, INFJs tend to throw themselves full force into relationships right off the bat and tend to be VERY possessive with deep meaningful LTR on the mind; if you think your INTJ was devastated you've never met an INFJ after a break-up-at times inconsolable. They are very passionate and understanding, but the long distance relationship may actually get to him before it gets to you again. He needs to be able to trust you 110% and if you haven't convinced him his mind may begin to wonder. On the flip side though, you never have to worry about him, INFJs are loyal to an extreme. If you could manage to see each other several times a month-I don't know maybe five-ten times- this could actually work to your benefit. Enough time together to keep the relationship strong, and time for you do be independent. Just keep the dialogue open at all times!
Good luck! an INFJ is a rarity.

Wed, November 25, 2009 - 3:39 AMENFP's should avoid long distance relationships, or for that matter, anything that requires any kind of follow through, hardship, or may be boring for more than 2 minutes. ENFP's are ultimately fair weather friends who tire easily of people and they are naturally disloyal. The sooner they admit this the easier it is for everyone and the fewer people get hurt. I'm an INTJ, who has never been silly enough to get involved with an ENFP although I've seen many people who have been and have lived to regret it. -

Mon, December 7, 2009 - 8:53 PMVery funny Peta. Made me laugh because it is sort of true.
However, I think that from an ENFP'S perspective - it may not be the amount of time that we devote to the relationship, but the amount of love and feeling.
We do find it hard to relate to people, so, many times, we like to have many different friends and relationships to balance and intrigue our many different sides, adventures and tastes.
So, that's who we are, and many people probably do have to get used to it - but we make FANTASTIC friends, and we make incredible relationships as well.
We love people and have so many colors in our life that we have to paint the whole pallet.
Hope that helps. -

Wed, December 9, 2009 - 7:25 AMYes, that's true but honestly all relationships become boring after a while at least to some extent, once the novelty and thrill of being with a new person wears off. It's not humanly possible for people to be entertaining 100% of the time. If you aren't able to remain loyal and stick it out through the bad times, then how are you ever going to be able to have a permanent relationship?
