For a Se-ego, mental comfort follows Ni, for a Te-ego, mental comfort follows Fi, etc. The dual functions (super-id-functions) will always create mental comfort (caregive) you, no matter what type you are. Also in romantic relationships.
One should probably find better words, like stressors and relaxers, or something like that, to make it better, and to not confuse it with the romantic attitudes, as you did. I just used those words to highlight that what normally is seen as a Se-Ne-Si-Ni relation, also exists between the rational functions, and for all types.
With a dual, you will feel relaxed on some level (taken care of) no matter what type you are. It's just a matter of what kind of relaxation it gives. Ethical, sensory, logical or intuitive. An SLE will feel intuitive comfort with an IEI, an ILE will feel physical comfort with an SEI and an LIE will feel ethical comfort with an ESI. The dual functions "caregive" the ego-functions by strengthening the unconscious super-id-functions and that way weakening the unconscious id-functions that again weakens the super-ego in the model I described. It's plain model A (and I don't even believe in model A, thus my impatience in explaining).
