Agreed. It's good if people discuss these specifics of their character before moving in to live together though. It helped me and my wife a lot.
She is less extroverted than me and sometimes she wants to be left alone for several hours. I grew to know her very well and she needn't even say a word -- I can recognize by her posture, facial expression and what she does currently that she is in the introspection mini-period, and I simply don't at all interact with her until she's done, at which point she comes to me and often times she says "thank you for knowing me and being considerate".
My original point was more along the lines of "always be very honest (in a thoughtful and sensitive way) with your spouse".
