*The pairs that tend to clash and the pairs that have good romantic compatibility may overlap.

However, it seems that these relationships often end up breaking down.

(Advice for those dating an ENTJ)
reference ENTJ and romance
ENTJs often appear very domineering in romantic relationships. Because they struggle to handle emotions, they can sometimes seem insensitive to their partner's feelings. However, this doesn't mean ENTJs lack emotions; they simply cannot express their feelings unless they are in a comfortable environment.

ENTJs are very keen to improve interpersonal relationships and are always looking for ways to enhance them.

If you're having problems with your ENTJ partner, don't try to hide the issue; be frank and honest. Your partner wants to hear how you actually feel, not just guess at your feelings.
