What're your experiences with this, if you have any? I read somewhere that relations of benefit were second most popular to dual, but then I heard mirror and currently I see supervision romances lasting a while too.
My parents have a benefit relationship--they just celebrated 38 years of marriage. And another good friend of mine just celebrated 20 years and theirs is benefit also.

Seems like most of my friends are in supervision relations, heh. It is quite peaceful but the supervisee is put down in public every now and then.
Another supervisory marriage
I realized recently that my aunt and uncle have a supervisory marriage. They've been together for 30 some odd years now. My uncle is ISFp and my aunt is ENFj. So he supervises her. They have definitely had their share of fights over the years but they are pretty happy. On the surface, she appears to have more power in the relationship than he does. But that's mostly because he's quiet and she has a sharp tongue. I think the truth is that on certain issues, he just ignores her and does his own thing. It's interesting though to see how he's fully embraced the caregiver role now that they're retired. He unloads the dishwasher, does all the grocery shopping, that sort of thing. And they're both enjoying it!
