The Psychology of the Independent Type

How Do You Handle a Relationship and Intimacy?

Notice that the Heart Line is short and straight. This Heart Line reveals the least emotional type person for a relationship. Reserved and inwardly directed, these types appear passive about receiving love and act cool toward any kind of commitment in a relationship. They love controlling their own lives and seek calmness. Independents are no-nonsense people who are practical, loyal, and dependable.

This person needs "alone time". In a relationship he or she does not want the partner to make demands on their time and energy. He or she may even resort to creating an argument so that their mate will get mad and leave them alone. The peace and quiet afterward is worth the effort of an argument because the Independent knows the "rest period" is absolutely necessary. This person needs these rest and alone periods often, and more than any of the other hand types. It is the Independent person's nature to not hang on to bad feelings for long. After a break and a rest, he or she can easily forget and forgive and move on with life like nothing ever happened to disturb the peace -- even when it was he or she who created the disturbance to the peace!

In a relationship they demonstrate love by doing little practical tasks for their mate, instead of getting "mushy". They may show love for their partner by doing practical things like keeping the gas tank full in the car. Since they are so practical, dedicated, and loyal, to them it seems unnecessary to keep affirming their love to their mate in more direct (and less practical) ways. To an Independent Heart Line, it seems much more logical to spend the honeymoon money on the down payment for a house or car.

Independents often do well in relationships with a person who has a Nurturer Heart Line. This combination works because one is giving out her or his love, and the other can passively receive it. Maybe this is not a fair and equal situation, but it works as long as the Nurturer is not clingy and is willing to give the Independent plenty of space and time alone.
