men "withdrawing" from relationship symptom
So, it seems like something that people in relationship discussions often mention, that guys just "naturally" need "their own space" and temporarily "withdraw" from romantic relationships that are going pretty well. (Such as but not limited to this). I've been wondering if this might be more of a thinker/feeler, introvert/extrovert thing, Fi/Fe function thing rather than man/woman thing, because, after all, it seems like the social stereotype that more men are thinkers & independent and more women are feelers & dependent/wanting to connect. What do you think is a factor to this? But wait, what if you're a homosexual couple? Who withdraws? Does this "often" occur at all?
INFPs supposedly like to withdraw too (although might/might not do it in a relationship that's going well). But we are feelers, and there's an INFP stereotype that we want to be "rescued" by that "right person", or want an "everlasting love" (notice the quotation marks, I don't really mean we really think that way). I want to hear (from everyone, but especially from the guys) if you do this kind of "withdrawing" too. Or just your general opinion on this supposedly common phenomenon.
(I'm totally back in the mood of gender-related discussions again, thanks to deBeauvoir >__>)
