INTP with an ISFJ?

Are you saying INTPs aren't human all of the time:P

Face it WNelson: we're more like nerdy logical terminators devoid of all emotion. Oh, I kid.

Yes we are kidding, we are all perfectly normal. By the way if you have any information about a woman named Sarah Conners it would very much help....a school project of mine

I've been with my ISFJ husband for several years now and it's been the most wonderful relationships I have ever been in. At first we did struggle and he often grew frustrated with my lack of emotion and need for space. Then I would get frustrated with always having to explained EVERYTHING to him and the complete lack of intellectual stimulation. We almost broke up several times due to these issues, but what began to work for us is the fact that we never stopped communicating. When I went back to school for my masters, out of everyone in my family mostly NT, he was the most supportive and would even stay up with me till I finished writing my papers just to say he spends time with me. I've also learned to not speak my mind as often and just step back and let him just do it. It's frustrating and a little annoying but wyn dealing with an ISFJ it's easier just to let them do it and walk away.

wow sounds like hes dumb as a brick

I have been with an ISFJ for almost 8 months now, being an INTP myself. We have been having problems understanding each other, but as I know very well, we are opposites...our strengths and weaknesses being opposite from one another. Where I am weak, she is strong and vice-versa. We both know about the opposites of our styles of thinking and doing things too...but for some reason, we have a problem understanding why we do it. The major thing is she's time-based, and I don't even care about time unless I have something to do. I make goals based on the eventual, she makes goals based on when it's going to happen. I'm patient, she's impatient...that kind of thing. But we always seem to meet in the middle. I know I can learn a lot from her, and she the same from me...

Good to hear that your relationship is doing well. My relationship with an ISFJ lasted a year and a half. The one thing I can tell you is when she is mad, you'll have to be the flexible one. It is tough, but you need to give in. The best thing you can do is give-in and then go over the top to show you care. Then explain to her your side after she has calmed down. This work well for me until I got busy, and I didnt have the energy to maintain the effort it took. If I could take it back I'd make more time for her. =/ Good Luck!

How do you get passed the constant need to fix everything? She has a problem and is mad about something, I have to give her a solution to fix the problem. She doesn't like that because mostly she just wants to vent, but in my mind, how does venting solve anything?
