Conflict in ESI-LIE duality (ISFj and ENTj)

[jet city woman]

Ehhh, the LIE I know (my S.O. Finale) claims that the ESI was constantly trying to fight useless battles for him, that he didn't give half a whit about (stuff that wasn't pertinent... meaningless details). He told her to stop doing it, but she wouldn't... she would sneak around and do it anyways.
I think he liked her, but..... it was not what he wanted long-term. He claims there wasn't enough of an intellectual connection; that she didn't interest him for the long-term.
LIEs from what I've experienced are very independent and they don't want to be babied in any way.... in fact, they would rather be the ones doing the baby'ing.

difficulty admitting when they are wrong.

Yea, they won't ever admit it, from my experiences, although they will determine it and you know they know it. They act on it. But you've gotta be pretty swift on the "proving it", because they'll stick to their guns. But if you prove it, they'll find you capable and they'll act accordingly, not through words but through actions.
