How dependable / reliable are relationship lines?

Hi
My question is that does the small parallel line under the mercury finger called relationship lines ,depict number of relationships that a person will have?

In my experiments I have found out that readings from these lines are mostly wrong or way off.Those who have had 4 relationship have only one single line, while one of my friend had a girlfriend but didn't have a single relationship line.

Take my example , I have had no relationships up till now (I am 22 now), but my right hand has three relationship lines and one relationship line is roughly in the teens but I am past my teens.
So how one should read them and I have doubts with other lines as well that I have pointed in my hand picture.
Hope to increase my knowledge.

I don't believe that the relationship lines are accurate with regard to the number of relationships.
examples - my friend on her 3rd marriage has only one relationship line.
An 86 year old lady had 4 relationship lines, yet like Jeanette she married 'the boy next door' who was her first boyfriend age 15, and she never had any relationship with another man. I believe her because she blushed when she confessed her secret that she once went for tea with another boy whilst dating her future husband!

edit sorry kanwarjeets, I have some technical problem -- when I try to enlarge your picture I am not seeing the full hand. Perhaps you could start new topics to address your questions about the other hand features.

This feature has had so much "negative press" over the past few years, I don't even look at these lines anymore, too much speculation.

lovin' your afro Den
The only reason I look at these lines is because people ask about them. I agree with you - too much speculation.
Don't forget that the origins of these lines in traditional palmistry goes back about 600 years. These days we have far more freedom & choices about relationships than they had, same applies to child lines.

Relationship are no longer relevant in today's time, your experiences have helped me cement that these are best used for teasing friends and giving them hope!!
And Jeanette, in your case can we deduce that the relationship becomes stronger or meaningful for different reasons at separate ages , may be with the same person .

"How dependable are relationship lines?"

Great question!!

During the past decades the so-called 'marriage lines' (or 'affection lines', 'lines of union', 'nesting lines', etc.) have been recognized as providing unreliable information regarding how many relationships are/were involved with.

Regarding the 'theory', that multiple lines might relate to one and the same relationship / marriage... I am very sceptical about this 'theory'. For, I think this 'theory' presents an element of a "self fullfilling prophecy" (simply because despite that times have changed, for many people it is only natural to live life with one partner in life).


So... how RELIABLE are those lines?
I think there is only one aswer possible: these lines are not reliable at all.

... Remember, if a theory only works in a small minority of people, this can easily be adress to 'coincidence' - such example do not really 'proof' that the theory works since in a large majority of people this theory doesn't work at all!).


PS. Sorry Jeanette, I think you've at least slightly misunderstood Kanwarjeets' comment: for, in his first remark he explicitely stated regarding those lines: [i]"... these are best used for teasing friends and giving them hope!!"[/i]
