ISTPs that have committed to long-term relationships

ISTPs are often perceived as people that require clear boundaries, and their personal space in their relationships to function. Some of these traits (highly demanding personal space) often feel like they also cause trouble in maintaining personal relationships (i.e friendships).

So I have some questions for the ISTPs that have managed /are in a long-term relationship:

1. How did you meet your partner and how long were you friends with them?
2. How long did it take for you to realise that you wanted this person as a partner?
3. What are the traits of your partner that made it work with them?
