I'm only sorry it took me this long to discover your blog. And you helped me understand why my husband frequently finds me so offensive...as a fellow ENTJ, you can imagine my dismay when he so often questions my obvious fabulousness. Seriously. Adore you, Lisa Good God you have provided me with a rich afternoon of reading. I'm only sorry it took me this long to discover your blog.

And you helped me understand why my husband frequently finds me so offensive…as a fellow ENTJ, you can imagine my dismay when he so often questions my obvious fabulousness. Seriously.

(I'm an ENFP and we do that.) If you were ever confused about your Type, it may be useful to you (AND a comfort to your Shadow/Opposite) to know that you write like an ENTJ, not like an ENTP. Your issues are ISFP issues, not ISFJ issues - you don't harp on about ISFJ loyalty & devotion - which would tend to suggest ENTJ is your natural preference. In accordance with Jung's theory, we are all BORN WITH OUR TYPE, it sometimes eludes us, is all. The MBTI instrument is not perfect, but it's the best of its kind in the world - and they're are now more than 600 profiling instruments around.

I also read the ENTJ article and resonate 100%. I felt like "finally! someone understands me!" Though I'm only 22 I've been married two years and many of the things you wrote about go through my mind. My husband and I have even talked about the stay at home dad thing for the future. My mom was absolutely, positively opposed to the idea, for the exact reasons you said it was failing in your marriage. My husband and I have had wonderful communication throughout our four years of knowing each other, but it has only been because of the wonderful marriage counseling and pre-marriage counseling we have been through. Have you read The Five Love Languages? Eye opener for me. I appreciate your transparency, and though I am much younger I know a day will come when I am struggling with the very things you're writing about. I don't know what the solution is, or how I will handle it in my own personal life. I guess I am just hoping it will work itself out. Thanks for your honesty. I can relate tremendously. P.S. Sydney Owen got me back into blogging. I go to school with her. She told me you're her mentor. That's how I found you're blog. I just read this article and your previous one about stay at home dads.
