HELP: Innie Male with Outtie Female

[flame]

I agree that we are more easily influenced in some ways, but I wouldn't say that that is something that is exclusively an introvert tendency.
 Human beings are all pretty easily manipulated by t.v and movies and other people ...everyone's so brainwashed these days, and, I think you will find that co-dependency is pretty much endemic to humans at this time, intro or extro or all the different mixes.

It sounds like you're husband has many unresolved issues about being an introvert and generally misunderstood by society. Many introverts have long-standing anger issues about the way they've been treated by extraverts (i.e. the majority of society). I myself am married to an outie male, and must admit, sometimes I am secretly jealous of him and get irritated, simply by his ease with socializing I never had, and lose my temper about stupid things with him - but it's frustrating when you perceive someone as having it so much easier than you in life, when you constantly struggle to not only accept yourself, but to get others to accept you.

However, your husband seems to have taken this resentment to a whole new level, like he's punishing you for the way the whole world treats him, which is unfair. I think he needs counselling to work through these issues on his own - particulary anger management training. I don't see you as having anything to do with it, as you sound like a wonderful, loving wife who genuinely wants to understand him. However, he needs to work on himself first before he can give back equally to your relationship. Solid relationships are built on equality and a fair balance of power, so it's good you're standing up for yourself - keep pushing back and asserting your own needs (and hobbies). Hopefully once he's resolved his own issues, you can finally have a more equal, positive relationship.

However, whenever he finds a new hobby, I feel like he is trying to force me into the same hobby.

That sounds bad. You see,there are types in anything. There are types in Introvert as well as in Extrovert. Its not like all Introverts have same character, the same for Extroverts. I mean....Iam an Introvert.Ive never had interest to marry.For example, If i had a wife...i won't force her to do something.I will let her free. Anyway, I wish your problems get solved soon.

Can anyone help me understand him?especially if you are an innie male with a lot of dominant characteristics.

As i already said there are types in anything.So not all innie have dominant characteristics.
