O man whose system infuriates me
I simply can't stand it

I don't know if it has anything to do with my type, but I was extremely emotionally unavailable during my marriage. It wasn't that I had no feelings, or that I never showed emotions, or that I never listened to or comforted my INFJ wife when she was upset.
