If they don't, it dies off until one of us decides to pick up the ball. It's like playing tennis with someone who's not returning the ball I guess. I mean, I'm perfectly willing to pull my weight but I've gotta feel like I have a partner and not just a completely passive recipient. With two introverts, even activators, there's a sort of ebb and flow to the relationship where you come together and then go back into yourself for awhile, then come together again. I think it CAN be pretty fulfilling if both people are interested. Not optimal but I know several good introvert activator marriages that do alright.
yes, I've seen this happen too. Where two extroverts are fighting for attention and trying to talk at once (especially between two women, lol!) Pretty funny actually.
