    [INFJ] Is your spouse/significant other the most important relationship in your life?

    I don't want to go into detail about my problems or personal life with strangers (no offense) more than I already have. But I will say that I'm fairly certain that my mother and father are Fe and Si doms, respectively. And I'm not so much concerned about repeating the cycle on one of my children...

    [INFJ] Is your spouse/significant other the most important relationship in your life?

    All right. I guess it's time to explain my motivations for starting this thread. Part of it was to see what kind of answers INFJs would give. I'm interested in NFs, with ENFPs and INFJs in particular. I wanted to see if there is a trend in them willing to put their partners first. But as I read...

    [INFJ] Is your spouse/significant other the most important relationship in your life?

    I may be being obtuse here, but if everyone is of equal emotional significance to you, then what is the purpose of pursuing a relationship of this magnitude with a single person? Unless by "important" you mean something other than emotional significance. My ideal is that if you're going to the...

    Romantic Relationship/Interests Tropes - What are yours?

    I love NFs. ...That's about all I have to say past there, really...

    Living together before marriage

    From what I've heard, couples who live together treat each other differently before and after the wedding. If this is the case, I think it best to not live together until after-the-fact.

    [INFJ] Is your spouse/significant other the most important relationship in your life?

    Well, that's the thing. Part of prioritizing your partner (at least the way I see it) is to acknowledge that they are a separate entity from you, recognize that as a separate entity that they have goals, desires, relationships, and interests that don't involve you, and understand or even want to...

    [INFJ] Is your spouse/significant other the most important relationship in your life?

    I've never been in a relationship with this level of commitment, so I could have no idea what I'm talking about here, but I get the feeling that it's completely possible to prioritize your spouse without being co-dependant on them, provided the maturity levels of both parties are sufficient. I...

    [INFJ] Is your spouse/significant other the most important relationship in your life?

    I know they're different. I admit that I was unclear in my OP. I was referring to emotional priority; I should have specified. Oh, and with regards to Seraphim, I don't think there should be any relationship in your life that you would be unable to function without, even if that person is more...

    [INFJ] Is your spouse/significant other the most important relationship in your life?

    I can tell you from personal experience that the inverse of the situation you just described is just as damaging to the child, if not more so. Perhaps I should elaborate. I'm not suggesting or implying that you should neglect your children or friends at all. You have a responsibility as a human...

    [INFJ] Is your spouse/significant other the most important relationship in your life?

    To all INFJs that have one, is your relationship with your SO the most important one in your life? This may sound selfish, but this is something I'm curious about. If I'm in a serious committed relationship with someone, I would try to put them first and I would hope they would do the same. Are...
