    Same situation here as you know. I think it's the hazard of our specific relationship matchup. How they figure we are duals, I sure don't know! Seems hubby and I are so mismatached. We discuss the same things over and over and only talk about things we have in common. I like a you-show-me-your-world-and-let-me-show-you-mine relationship. If it doesn't interest him he refuses to listen. I want to say I feel misunderstood but I'm just not stood at all!

    That's why people like rmcnew don't understand me. I get tired of a lone-sided realtionship so I do my own thing and get what I can out of the relationship. I am very much a giver but I run dry at times as hubby doesn't give back. I have needs too, and when I know I am being chatted up or built up because he wants something from me, I fry.

    I'll agree that my dual marraige, while very cozy and relaxing and easy, doesn't have the constant fireworks of other romantic relationships I've had - I mean, we never fight, but then we never make up either and making up can be fun :wink: But I really got tired of the constant drama of other relationships. Of course I was in my late 20s when I got married so I'd had enough experience to know what I wanted and what wouldn't work out.

    And if I complain to him that I'm feeling like I need more affection, or attention, or whatever, my husband is very good at accomodating me. He will NOT pick it up on his own, though. I have to explicitly tell him what I want.

    I think its just me being unrealistic yet again but I thought dual relatonships were suppose to be something else. I can see the good points of some of the ones mentioned though. I just had a very different perception of duality in mind. I thought the people involved would recognise and attend to each others needs naturally. Some of the relationships mentioned sound a lot like a normal relationship with lots of give and take and compromise. Silly,lazy me for thinking dual relationships were more effortless in reality .

    By the way Artemis, sorry I plucked your feather over on that "favorite infp" thread. Hope it didn't hurt. You can have it back if you want.
    About listening, he gives me "uh huh" and goes about doing something else.

    I'm fine. I get used to feather plucking as I am so damn honest all the time! Sucks. (BTW, you posted under 'guest' in that thread. :wink: )

    Really, the IEI should just be paired up with the SLI... that one just makes so much more sense.

    General question to those with ISTp or ESTp mates/partners/husbands.

    Are they faithful/have ever been unfaithful in the past? I heard somewhere that they are very likely to cheat and are good at covering their tracks. I don't know if there is any truth to it.

    I have a bit of a jealous streak, but even given that I don't believe my husband would ever cheat on me. But he's ok with my jealousy issues and is always very easy to reach on the phone, always has his cell phone on, and is always where he says he'll be. Also, he doesn't like going away without me. He's going to a conference in Las Vegas for a week this winter and said he doesn't want to be away that long so he's taking me with him. He would have plenty of chances to cheat in Las Vegas and I didn't expect him to take me with him - he suggested it on his own. If he were likely to cheat or had that in him, he wouldn't have asked me to go to Las Vegas with him.

    This isn't a duality relationship, but my online ENFP girlfriend likes to go out a lot to hang out with her real friends instead of "hanging out" with me.

    My husband has cheated (and you all wonder why I have the opinions I do ), but he is lousy at hiding it. I can read him like a book. I don't believe he cheats anymore . . . well, I know he doesn't . . . my being psychic and all. He has leaned the price is high and he isn't willing to pay it. So perhaps if I am bitchy you understand a bit better. I like the financial security I have and am not willing to leave. When I crave something more then I'm sure I will make changes. Just not there yet. (Yes, mcnew, it's me the filthy whore)

    I don't believe my husband has ever cheated on me and we've been together 14 years, but I know he cheated on previous girlfriends before we met and were married!

    He'd rationalize it "She and I were broken up any way."

    He can be pretty good at covering his tracks, though, so if he were to cheat, he would probably get away with it.

    I loved the time when he left the computer on a page verifying a $7000 loan. For his boat which he never discussed with me and which he pulled into the driveway 2 weeks later.

    I know he's stashing for a bigger boat, now, too.

    Wow! I don't know how I would deal with that! But I do tend to hide my financial deals but they don't amount to that much. Hubby tends to spend and not tell me and blows up our checking accounts and leaves me to pick up the pieces as he is conveniently out of town. Always makes mistakes and uses the wrong accounts or cards.

    *suspiciously raises an eyebrow* I don't see how such a thing could be possible. I talk to people online quite a bit, but I don't see how a person could "be with" someone who isn't physically there.

    True. But people are different. I can see how they can feel that it's turning into something like a relationship. And meeting can be so daunting.

    I hope you mean an actual pet and not a person; I totally find it disturbing and a tad offensive that anyone could refer to a person or specifically a man, as a pet. I really do not favor the company of women with that mindset.

    May I say McNew, it seems to me that you are having some type of problem with women. You calling people dirty filthy whore immediately comes to mind. I thought people of your type were generally less moralistic and judgemental. I can't believe that someone of a judging type like myself is saying this, but lighten up a bit McNew. I don't think the females here are "evil", "slutty", "man-hating", "harlots".
    At least I think the rest of them aren't :wink: .

    NOT THIS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'll say it....

    ...it would be less offensive to have a woman as a pet?!?!?!?!?!

    Kim and rmcnew, you're not trying to date eachother, so it doesn't matter what each of you wants in a relationship. Kim can go get what she wants from a man who wants the same thing she does, and rmcnew can go get a woman who wants the same thing he does.

    We are all free to set our own relationship ideals.

    No. But his posts may also trigger fear and sadness in people. And so it goes on and on.

    Yes, and I feel incredibly sorry for the poor soul. Really. I am extremely openminded and guess I expect everyone else to be too. I mean though that if I was deliberately treated badly and used by someone then (and I have been), I would be hurt and livid over it, but that wouldn't make me sour at all all men or women. People are people and to each his own morals or whatever, and each is responsible for his/her own actions. This getting personal thing (guilty in repose) is too much.

    It's not like he goes around posting 'I hate women" all over the forum. It's specific things that get a negative response, things that involve people talking about using men.

    McNew has no problems it seems when the men here talk about using women. I wonder why?

    I do not believe in using women, but I do have alot of defense mechanisms built up that may not be the healthiest things for me and anyone else.

    I don't even question that your intentions are good and that much of this is based on frustration and sadness. But I think you are making your life so much harder by suspecting bad intentions on the woman's part everywhere. I don't know what exactly went wrong in your relationships, but I had my fair share of being cheated on, being dumped for whoever else came along, not being respected, etc. But I have also had my fair share of great experiences. It's part of the spiel, I'm afraid. And you know, the men who treated me like that are not happy and careless people. They have their demons to tackle and I really am not envious. I'd rather be treated like that than to treat like that....

    I would not put up with that shit, period ... I have pretty much figured that I am either going to find a woman I can accept that does not pull that shit or go single. Sadly, I am going single ...

    A relationship can only be as healthy as the least healthy person in it.

    I agree. Being used and disrespected must never ever be tolerated on the part of any man or woman.

    McNew must of the stuff you took seriously were not meant to be taken seriously. Read the posts, most women here have husbands, brothers and/or sons and from what I can gather or honest up front people who are not really into using men in reality. Its about humour and even if its not, you have the advantage of not really being intimately involved with the women here.

    I have known a few "whores". I do not think even actual whores are to be disrespected, they are people too. Usually with all sorts of complicated life histories. They are searching for love and respect just like you and every one else.
