Donald Sutherland
in Relationships

He is not easily moved by emotional displays and can be curiously detached from his own emotions and those of others. It is almost as if he could turn his feelings on and off at will; Donald should be careful not to leave the switch "off" too often, for he could easily become too impersonal. Family relationships and attachments are not as important to him as they are to most people and Sutherland often considers his friends closer to him than his blood relatives. Certainly, Sutherland's sympathy and concern extends much beyond his immediate family. In his personal relationships, Donald Sutherland insists upon a certain amount of independence and the freedom to pursue friendships with as many people, of both sexes, as he chooses. Donald does not appreciate a jealous, possessive partner.

Donald Sutherland feels comfortable in an atmosphere that is open and experimental, and he has little taste for convention and tradition.

He is emotionally expressive and often dramatizes his feelings, acting them out or blowing them out of proportion. Donald Sutherland cannot hide his instinctive emotional reactions to people or situations, and he does not make any pretenses about his personal sympathies or antipathies.

Donald Sutherland has a childlike openness and playfulness which is very appealing to others, but which sometimes gets him into trouble, as Donald takes risks on impulse or whim.

Donald Sutherland has a buoyant, cheerful disposition and he reaches out to others in a warm, open and friendly way. His emotional generosity and lack of pettiness is well known among his circle of friends, and people often seek Donald out for help, sympathy or advice. Donald Sutherland is always willing to overlook others' faults, and he sometimes overdoes his charitableness.

Highly sensitive and rather easily taken in, Donald Sutherland needs to beware of deceiving himself and allowing others to take advantage of his impressionability or gentleness. Daydreaming, fantasizing, or other forms of imaginative, escapist behavior (such as watching television excessively or living his life through romance novels) could be something of an addiction for Sutherland. Donald Sutherland tends to confuse images with reality and needs to learn to be more circumspect and discriminating. Disappointments through women and in close relationships may occur if Sutherland does not.

He is quietly devoted and faithful to his loved ones and often becomes subservient to his love partner. Donald Sutherland is more comfortable showing his love by doing or making something for his loved one, or simply being there for her, rather than by making any romantic, soul-stirring declarations. He is timid about expressing too much sentiment or emotion. Donald Sutherland also underestimates his attractiveness and lovability and doubts his own worthiness of love and appreciation.

Donald Sutherland often hides his affection, or finds his feelings difficult to express or get across to the person he loves. Being openly affectionate and trusting often does not seem safe to Donald. He may feel his love will not be appreciated or reciprocated. Donald Sutherland may get involved in secret love relationships or fall in love with a person who is quite unavailable to him. Love and sacrifice often seem to go hand in hand for Donald Sutherland - having to give something up to be with the one he loves, or having to relinquish some person or some aspect of an important love relationship.

Feelings of loneliness, extreme shyness and/or the fear of rejection plague Donald Sutherland and may well inhibit him from expressing warmth and affection in an open way. Denying himself pleasure, comfort, and "nice things" due to feelings of unworthiness can also limit the joy Donald allows himself. Heartache and a loss of love in his life - perhaps while quite young - will serve to either close his heart to love or cause him to deeply cherish the friends and love he receives from others. The saying that "true love is hard to find" is certainly true for Donald Sutherland, but he will value it tremendously when it does come into his life.

The feeling that "there is not enough for me" may cause him to be very frugal and stingy with money as well.

When it comes to love relationships, Sutherland is likely to feel pulled in several directions at once. In addition to his desire for depth and security in his relationships, Donald Sutherland has an impulsive side and a need for a lot of variety and excitement, as discussed in the following paragraphs. These urges do not have to conflict, but they certainly can, especially if Donald acts on his spontaneous impulses without much consideration for their long-term effects on his personal life.

He is open and progressive in his attitude towards love relationships and romance, and spontaneous and free in the way he expresses his love. Donald Sutherland is always willing to experiment and try anything new that his partner suggests, and he enjoys being surprised. A relationship in which both Donald and his partner have a good deal of freedom and independence will hold Sutherland's interest much more than a safe, predictable one.

He is very romantic, idealistic and imaginative about love relationships. Donald Sutherland yearns for his "true love" or "soul mate" and may become disappointed in those who never quite live up to his dream image of the perfect lover. Sutherland frequently fantasizes about love and often falls in love with someone he can only love from afar. He may avoid making a definite personal commitment.

Donald Sutherland has a merry disposition and a strong desire for pleasure and amusement. Interested in art, he has a sense of beauty, but also could be somewhat extravagant. His outgoing personality puts others at ease and Sutherland tends to discuss love and beauty with them.

Donald Sutherland has a very erotic and sexual nature and may often find himself drawn to another person by a kind of inner compulsion. Sutherland could become quite obsessed by someone and he has a tendency to control and manipulate his relationships.
