When he and I discussed this (we're great at really long discussions), he said that NFPs are so aware of other people's emotions that they have to give advice in order to fix the other people so that the NFP can relax. Which means that, if you're a caring FJ on the receiving end of this, you have to pretend to be "fixed" so that the NFP can relax.
I don't relate to this in the slightest. I don't see NFPs as being sooo aware of other people's emotions....I see that as more of an NFJ thing or Fe in general. I'm aware of my OWN feelings and emotions, and by extension I am aware that other people feel differently from me, and so I respect that. Quite honestly, your husband sounds like an ISFJ from this description.....that's something my mom would say, who also doles out advice to "fix" a situation because it upsets her to see people upset.
