As a married guy in a totally different sort of introvert/extrovert mix, this was wonderful to read! I love the "we're a mismatch, and that's why it's fun" attitude.

My wife and I are an odd mix because I'm simultaneously the "charmer" and the introvert who needs a lot of time alone. She's the extrovert, but also has trouble reading people, so people either love her or are unintentionally "rubbed the wrong way" by her immediately.

So in our social interactions we often wind up with the introvert (me) "running interference" or more often smoothing things over for the extrovert... haha.

It works, though, and it's fun. She's amazing and without her I'd probably be a hermit with a squirrel living in my beard.
