Is it just me, or do my fellow INTx's also have problems sustaining a serious romantic relationship? In the past two years at college, I have been through five different relationships (that might not sound like much to some of you out there, but to me, it's ridiculously a lot) with varying degrees of seriousness, the longest of which lasted for a month and a half. It's almost always the partner, not me, who does the breaking, which if you analyze my personality makes sense. Sometimes I can see the benefit of breaking up, as I did in two of those relationships, but most often I end up hurt and confused for about a week afterwards. (That's all it takes for me to recover emotionally-- less than a week. It's handy, actually.) The most recent one was especially troubling to me, as the girl (INFP) had said quite a bit of serious stuff in time leading up to up to our relationship, and then proceeded to dart out on me and completely close the door. This might be something that happens a lot, but being the 6w5 that I am, that false promise of loyalty made me quite angry. Apologies for the "this-is-my-life-story" post, I felt it gave context for my reasons for asking my next question...
So, all of you INTx's out there... tell me your experiences with these sort of things. Do you have/have you had a long-term romance? If so, what was it like, and whom was it with type-wise? I'm interested in learning anything I can.
