just don't let this experience prohibit you from putting forth the same effort for someone who is really worth it...is what i'm trying to say.

Typical sag behavior. We do change ourselfs cause we know thats what our partners want. We are alot like libras in that sense. We want to please cause we care but we can only do it for so long until it hurts us. The thing with sags is they never want to be caught. We can be in relationships for years and months and still want to be free. We stay because we know you want us to. Till one day we can't take it anymore and simply have to detach.

Anyways, Cajun- I am sorry to hear about your breakup. I know it hurts right now, but know this- the pain WILL subside with the passing of time. Soon, she will only be a faint blip on your emotional radar.
And then one day- she will disappear, and be replaced with someone that fulfills you in a way that she never could. And then you will probably be shaking your head, wondering why you cared so much, and cursing the time you spent mourning her.

But........
What if some of us do not want to get married? Does this somehow make us less of a valid, worthy person?

HAHAHAHAHAH!!! Lets just face it. Were fucked.

I don't see why I should ever give the effort again.click to expand

How the hell do any of you ever get married?
How can you pretend to be what you're not?

You said you didn't ask her to change, but you still were not truly embracing her for who she was and letting her be that way and that is what every person, regardless of sign, really wants and deserves. .

She was intent on being the person who I wanted her to be and not herself.
Yeah, my Libra first wife was that way, too.
Try not to look at this as a failure. Relationships are not easy, but they are worth it.
but don't give up -- you will find a woman who is a better match for you.click to expand

CajunSpirit,
Believe her when she says she just wants time away. We do this. If you think she is worth it, be patient with her.
Also, bravo for making your view on tattoos and piercings known to her. If she genuinely cares for you, she will come to appreciate your perspective and hopefully compromise. It is absolutely unacceptable for her to be in a relationship with you and be unwilling to compromise on that front. She's being silly.
Some of what you've described does not seem Sag at all, but somewhat manipulative or controlling. Is Scorpio dominant in her chart?
It's as though she is making it out that this is your fault, when she's the one who has failed to clue you in on what's been going on throughout, based on what you have written. And, yes, while it's true we generally like our partners to know rather than have us explain to them, if we are mature, we recognize that we are not exactly the most uncomplicated souls out there and learn to help our partners become more attuned with this aspect of us by showing them with time, not by breaking up with them and then blaming it on them. Don't let her get away with that, by which I mean, let her know that you will not own this break-up all by yourself, you have always been ready and willing to communicate but that she chose to close up to you. If she cares for you, reason will triumph - Sags are very logical, believe it or not :-) - and she'll come to understand your perspective.click to expand

uote> She's attracted to your stability, to your constancy, she just can't offer that to you...IN THE SAME WAY. But we are plenty constant, if we love you we never fly away.
If you can appreciate this distinction, respect it, and be patient enough to see this through, you'll see for yourself.click to expand

How are you feeling and what/how did you respond?
Posted by tuscan_sun
Maybe you don't realize it, but actions at times speak louder than words. So you may not be saying it, but your attitude is talking out loud.

Cajun, you are 21 years old and if she is the same age as you are, she probably isn't on your maturity level. From what I read on your "Virgo Consensus: Tattoos or Piercings" and what I have read above from her statements to you...it sounds like she is not on the same page as you.
From reading your posts here on DXP, I can say that you have definite things that you just don't like and if you are "100" in real life like you are on here, I'm sure you haven't bit your tongue on some of those thoughts with her. She wants a tattoo and a piercing- you find them degrading. She thinks she is having fun wilin' out with her friends...you find it loud and obnoxious.
Maybe she just felt like you were two people that are too different. At 21 years old and a relationship that a lot of time hasn't been invested- I don't think one should ever compromise on what they want to do in life. I think she did you a favor although it doesn't seem like it now.
You're young and have plenty of time...now is the time of your life that you should be casually dating, finding and exploring yourself- you can be selfish and focus on you. You don't have the responsibility of caring for another person. Like I said, brush your shoulders off dude and have some fun, do things you enjoy. Be 21.click to expand

Fuck what everyone is telling you and check this out cajun!

Posted by seavixen
What can you do? Nothing but keep it moving...The "favour" I'm speaking of, is the fact that she broke up with you NOW rather than a gazillion months or years down the road after more time and feelings were invested. She realized that you two are way too different, regardless of how she chose to breakup with you, at least she didn't keep you around for a long time just to tell you that you "were too different" from her.
I'm thinking you put this post up to share and get feedback...click to expand

She's somewhat of your living vice, from what it seems.
Tattoo, smoking, partying, obnoxious, so on and so forth. What made you stay?


Posted by tuscan_sun
The least. If personality isn't so great, the face should hold the patience.

Cajun [on Failure]: What other way is there to look at it?
The Virgo Way!
If you internalize (try to "own") a set of irreconcilable differences, you haven't learned The Lesson.
THAT would be a personal failure!click to expand

Cajun,
You seem like a very serious VG. Maybe a Capricorn, Aries, or Taurus Gal would be a better fit??
But, one thing I learned: You can drive yourself nuts with questions that can never be answered satisfactorily. It is better to accept that some things defy reason, and not all problems can be solved -- even by a Virgo!

It could be she was afraid of hurting you, and so she held everything in until she just couldn't anymore?
Posted by tuscan_sun
Cajun, i'm sorry that was just a joke. Trying to cheer you up, but I obviously failed.click to expand

Posted by tuscan_sun
I'm sure it won't be so difficult for you to find someone out there. You being a Virgo and all, you attract many women from ever corner. Someone that stands on your beliefs and values.

Sadly, maturity doesn't come with age. Maturity cannot be based with age, it all depends on the individual and the environment he/she was raised.

Though when I am casually dating a hot girl who smokes and wants commitment, there is a tradeoff.

lmd84: Ever try dating a Cancer girl?
I don't know Cajun beyond what he posts here, but I think he's too "buttoned-up" for a Water Gal...
He needs a Cappy, or a Taurus, who'll box his ears daily... just kidding! (sorta)
The VirGuys I see with Cancer Gals are Second or Third Decans, who generally don't give a shit for 70% of the typical Virgo baggage...

lmd84: So Cajun if you don't mind tears and sensitivity every once in awhile.
No offense, but Cancers cry 10x more often than Scorpios, and Scorpio is about my emotional limit...
Posted by DyTryin
lmd: I'm third decan...
So am I... and I married a Third Decan Scorpio...

The bottom line is that any combination of people looking to be together needs compassion, flexibility, communication and 'spark'. Personality quirks are fun when the foundation is solid.

Because your only alternative is to wind up a lonely, loveless, emotionally-bankrupt, sex-starved old man. Old pervert actually, 'cause you are a Virgo, lol.

That doesn't sound so bad 🙂

lovemedead84,
I don't think sign is the problem honestly, I think it's the level of maturity and materialistic interests at this age that dissapoint me most.

For those who could be bothered here is her reasoning.
"I lost sight of myself, I tried to be the person you wanted me to be. I made rules for myself, and asked you how to do everything. My friends realised I would be boisterous when you were not around and how I would change and become quiet when you showed up"
"I wanted to be the perfect girl to you, I listened to the things you said you wanted in a wife. But I just can't be that person. I'm wild, I like to drink, smoke, curse and be loud!"
"I have been putting off getting a new tattoo and piercing my tongue because I know you don't approve of these things"
Now please bear in mind, I never asked her to change for me. I could identify how different she was with "her friends" and I could see she was much happier when she could be as obnoxious as she pleased.
I told her many times not to change for me, to be herself, but she never listened.
She was intent on being the person who I wanted her to be and not herself.
I saw this coming and brought it to her attention but she simply brushed it off.
Life is so amusing.
