Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge on this duo. I’m an INFP married to an INTJ. There was a time we were possibly going to split, but thanks in part to counseling, we made it through! Been married 23 years! I remember at one point with our therapist he said, “well it looks like we’re at an impasse.” That’s just one example of the many times our stubbornness did us no good, lol. I’m glad you brought that up! On a positive note, we love having deep conversations together, talking about philosophy, science, religion, mental health, etc. It’s great. There’s no end to the things we can talk about together. One thing I struggled with early on was his extreme introverted nature. Because we are both introverted, sometimes we struggle with getting out and socializing. My NE really needs socialization, more than he does, but it isn’t always the most comfortable feeling to have to put myself out there. :) Thankfully I have ENFP friends and daughter who help break the ice when I feel awkward. 😊
I've been getting to know an INTJ female friend a lot better recently. (I am an INFP male) We've known each other a couple years and are now both single, although I don't see anything romantic coming of it, partly because I am significantly older than her. I also just don't get that vibe from her. Something I noticed is while I can be bit of a hugger she seemed resistant, so I pulled back on that, trying to respect her boundaries. Now she is more apt to hug me, which I found interesting. I also like to let people when I appreciate them. As you said, my love language tends to be touch and words of affirmation. I recently woke up to hers being along the lines of acts of service and gift giving. Two things I am really slow to think to do. Our humor was where we connect. We get each others jokes even when no one else does. So we just have fun. I realized too, that early on she somehow just felt like a kindred sprit, so interesting kindred is the word you used too.
pt1: I am INTJ and Virgo. I read that both these things makes us not showing affection and saying Confirmation words but, I do both a lot with people I love. pt2: I would like to ask does Obsession scare INFP? because I love with Obsession and I love INFP
Sorry about your marriage not working out. I'm an INTJ married to an ISTJ. I was thinking I could give some insight, but you did cover a lot in your video. - We definitely are not snuggle buddies, but we will push ourselves to try to show affection, but it is hard. - I show my husband love by bringing him coffee, making jokes that I know make him laugh (after observing his humor), giving him space. - we work together because we're both independent, not needy, complimentary to each other. I have the big picture, he loves working out the details. I would write more but this feels too long already, sorry I wrote too much.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Yeah kindred seemed like the proper word.
