Adrienne Rich
in Relationships

She is very sensitive, cautious, and shy about showing others her feelings. Though she may love and care for someone a great deal, Adrienne Rich rarely expresses her feelings openly and freely. Very often Rich's love for someone is expressed by her wish to help her, do something tangible to benefit her or serve her in some way.

It is also difficult for her to receive warmth, affection or appreciation, for she often feels that she does not really deserve it or that "they do not really mean it". Rich may therefore come across as rather cool and aloof - much more so than she feels.

A deeply ingrained critical attitude often makes Adrienne difficult to live with. Adrienne Rich needs to learn to be gentler and less of a perfectionist with others and with herself.

Rich gets a lot of emotional fulfillment through her involvement in groups, clubs, organizations, community activities, or a network of close friends who support and care for her. Adrienne Rich makes friends her family, and she feels a close kinship with people who share some ideals or beliefs that she holds dear. Adrienne Rich needs close relationships with people outside of her physical family.

Adrienne Rich tends to have strange quirks, idiosyncrasies, or domestic habits, and she may feel that she does not fit in with "normal" people. These could be endearing eccentricities, or truly outlandish tastes and behavior. Establishing a steady routine and rhythm in her life and relationships would be very beneficial but may not be easily achieved. Ideally Adrienne Rich can create a unique lifestyle that affords her a lot of personal space, freedom, and flexibility to follow her own somewhat erratic rhythms - while at the same time providing some order and consistency. There is a current of emotional discontent or restlessness within Adrienne also, which may be reflected in unstable personal relationships of the on again/off again variety. Adrienne Rich craves change and excitement whether she realizes it consciously or not.

Her love feelings and desires are easily aroused but she may find it difficult to sustain her romantic interest in relationships after the initial, exciting "chase and conquest". Adrienne Rich enjoys a dynamic partner with a strong independent streak, and she does not like things to become too peaceful or predictable in the love arena. Adrienne wants to see sparks fly once in awhile, even if it means instigating a fight.

Rich is a very personable, affectionate, loving friend and will always have many people in her relationships that love and cherish her. Adrienne Rich prefers being with others rather than on her own, and she feels very incomplete without a special person in her life to share her love with. Being half of a close, loving relationship is very important to Adrienne.

Adrienne is a peacemaker, the one who adapts, harmonizes, and makes concessions for the sake of the relationship. Her charm and agreeableness makes Adrienne Rich very popular.
