Does anyone have happy stories of 2 introverts in a relationship?

[ambersamba]

i've been seeimg a someone for a few months. He's cute and funny and we have loads in common. But we are both quite introverted and now we are past the initial getting to know you stage I've noticed that sometimes conversation can be quite hard going as neither of us just spontaneously chat. On reflection, my previous serious relationships have all been with people who were extroverts and were happy to talk a lot while i mainly listened. Are we doomed as a couple?

Not at all! But you will have to get used to a new normal. We are both introverts, but I am slightly more outgoing in that I am the one who tends to make friendships and acquaintances, so I will be the one who introduces him to people/invites people over etc (which doesn't happen very often). It will take some adjusting but you should be fine - as long as you aren't actually waiting for conversation and disappointed when you don't have it, IYSWIM. If you're the sort of introvert who actually wants someone to do the social work for you, then you might have a problem.

Husband and I are both introverts. We enjoy the peace and quiet

Yup, another happy quiet pair here (13 years, 10 married). Each of us has different interests/hobbies/passions and we're each good at asking the other leading questions about their thing as well as discussing our shared interests. I find I learn all sorts of interesting trivia!

Oops I guess that's actually 14 years total - I blame being pregnant with our second baby

Dh is introverted like me. We have lots of comfortable silences and enjoy the peace. :)

We are both fairly introverted but usually have more than enough to say to each other - any silences are comfortable though which I suppose only comes with time OP.

Definitely not doomed at all, you just need to get used to each other.

Two very happy introverts here...27 years married.
We are happy to have loads of alone time each. Neither of us needs more, there is no tension.
We also have a lot of companionable and quiet together time, dog walking, reading, cooking, pottering together
We have a similar comfort level for socialising (not much)
We do talk (obviously) but completely respect each other's need not to talk.
We have two children, both introverts, and although DS has a mad social life, he still needs mental recharge time.

We are so lucky to have found each other (soppy)
