Horrible, horrible, horrible idea. Why do you think you're entitled to have him do what you want without convincing him of the good sense of it? Not only that, why do you think you have the right to impose something upon him, instead of asking it of him? In other words, who the hell do you think you are?
This is pretty much our strongest manifestation of Fe. It doesn't play well with Te, as you've noticed. You'll just have to deal with it, because he's not changing on that one.
Yes. I've noticed. His reaction is usually almost hostile, towards which I back down and keep my mouth shut. But I'm not telling him what to do. I'm trying to guide him towards making the right decisions. I thought I was being helpful, but I guess ENTPs don't see it that way? I guess I'll keep my input to myself.
EDIT: Alright, question answered. Don't govern an ENTP. I get it. I usually DO explain myself logically though. He gets a lip piercing? I tell him to clean it. He argues? I tell him if he doesn't it will get infected, etc.
Another thing I'd like to adress.. How do I know he cares? I'm nearly positive he does, but it is quite hard to tell. It is like he is emotionless. With a feeler, I KNOW when they care. It's right out in the open.. With my ENTP? He is still so hard to read.
