Capricorn Women are known to be strong and have 'balls.' They know what they want. Why they want it. And they're not afraid to go and get it.
However in my experience of relationships, once things settle down and we've gone past the flirting and gone past getting to know each other etc, I've noticed that my boyfriends/partners start picking holes in me and finding fault.
I've done nothing wrong to them.
They just start picking holes in normal stuff I do. Then it gets worse as the nit-picking goes into housework tasks etc
I've had a controlling boyfriend when I was 20yrs old (Scorpio).
Then a controlling husband (Aries),who I met when I was 26. We married when I was 32. It was only once we were married that his controlling behaviour came out.
My therapist tells me that Control is an Anxiety. I never knew this until a few weeks ago and its made me think.
Maybe my confidence as a Cap makes men insecure so they start finding fault in me in order to big themselves up.
I always saw Control as a big dark negative energy that wrecks relationships!
Which it does!
Anyway..
I'm asking you Capricorn women what - if any - issues you have encountered these kind of issues where I guy feels insecure with you, when you are just being your lovely strong confident friendly (non-bitchy) self?

They all do the same thing after getting to know you better yet your reaction to that is to blame it on their insecurities?
God, I hate Capricorns 😂

I think a lot of men are this way when they are insecure yes. I would not bend to this behaviour it would encourage more of it. My advice would be to evaluate why you might be attracted to that kind of personality, what red flags there might be and try to work through any issues if possible. Have you put certain traits above kindness or respect for others for example? But no its not okay you should help each other not stifle.

Hey everybody blames it on insecurity of the guys, you seem to be strong, which puts them down and you up. While it certainly makes you feel better it is a pattern if it happens repeatedly. And the only constant is you cause you were there each time.
Do you have certain traits that might procoke that? Are you very ambitious ? Ballbusting?
Thats
Can you think of commonalities between the controllung men? Like where you met them, traits, beliefs etc? In which situations or dating stage did they show control behavior?

I agree with this. It must be some sort of dynamic you're being a part of or who you are attracting that's like this because it doesn't happen to me. I don't know of any cardinal sign that likes to be told what to do. But that aside, maybe you are attracting a type of man who is controlling?
Agree with all of this.
Sometimes people see someone controlling in other aspects of life, or who treats others badly, and expect to be the exception to that rule.
That’s why I would never in a million years date someone who was disrespectful of others. You can tell how someone will be to you by how they treat others but some people really believe they’re the special ones.
No offence. I seem to be giving harsh advice today lol.click to expand

Also wizardz is lowkey saying she deserves it because she's "blaming" others. Boo. 👎
Deserves what? You only have her word that these guys are being "controlling". It might be her that is the problemclick to expand

Cont'd (to Parkourler)
The Aries I met on a Saturday when I was working in a bank. He walked in and began talking to me about his bank account. He smiled loads then gave me his phone number.
Both guys seem to have met me when I
With Scorpio the controlling behaviour started really early on. We both finished college and were going to different universities after the summer holidays. But the universities were not far apart. An hour maybe.
Anyway I got myself a summer job working in a pub and told him about this. He wasn't happy. All he cared about is that I got him a job too!? And working with me and on the same days and times.
I found him suffocating!
And controlling because he started calling me selfish, and not caring about him, just because I didn't get him a job working with me. We'd only been together a few weeks ffs!
I told him "we see each other EVERY DAY. 7 days a week. I don't want us to work together too."
He didn't like that. And it got worse from there.
With the Aries it was similar but not the same. His controlling behaviour came out after MARRIAGE!? We'd been together for 6yrs and he was lovely at first. Everything was about us.
Once we were married he changed. Everything became about what HE wanted. Mainly around the house. Controlling how I do things. It then spread into how I do my job too!
Does that answer your question?

Capricorn is cardinal energy which already is an energy associated with being bossy.
Cardinal likes to control the situation. Flows outcome. It makes them feel more secure.
The people you’ve mentioned are cardinal and fixed.
They will also try to control to feel more secure.
I’d suggest you try a Mutable sign, but I have a hard fast belief that mutable should only date other mutual end. Fixed n cardinal signs will just be to their detriment

Is Pisces Mutable?
If so it works really well.
The problem I have is after 7yrs of him pushing me to leave my husband, he is still with his partner, and I am a divorced single mum!click to expand

don't know about capricorn women. but i've always found capricorn men hot but also super annoyingly controlling.
like there's this cap sun/taurus moon who asks so many personal questions but gets mad when you ask him the same things. and he talks real slow like forever just going on and on. and i feel as if it's just his technique to drown out whatever i have to say and just continue to get his point across.
i can't even get a word in. and when you don't accept his calls coz you want to nap, he'll just leave voice messages with him just forever trying to drown you with his point.
Where do you find all these fecking weird Cap men— Bejesus
My experience is not like that all. Have a Cap/Taurus Moon combo in orbit too and he's the best thing ever. Understanding, gives space, very loving, when he's being a hothead its kinda sexy, clear boundaries, although sometimes bit of victim mentality but set him immediately straight with a whip😋click to expand

My experience with men, relationships, and dating has found that there are a lot of controlling men out there, I think that’s all there is to it. Once you become more independent, established, and it’s clear you “don’t need no man”, these types of men kind of weed themselves out though. Because of the insecurity.
My dad is an extremely controlling man and he targets women who are dependent, needy, and have no skills or education. They are the easiest for him to leverage control over because they have no independence whatsoever.
Personally, I love women who are successful, strong and independent but I can see how some males feel threatened by it
I have more feminine energy though so that probably helps me to be okay with itclick to expand

You know, it’s funny because I have been in 2 LTR (~5 years each) with Gemini men and they have allowed me to be myself and I never felt that controlling aspect to them, for the most part. They never felt threatened or resentful toward me. I’ve also noticed many of the stronger personality type and successful women on this site, have been with/are with Gemini men long term 😆😆 I think there’s something to that.click to expand

Cap women are the archetype of the kind of person that just stops putting in any effort once they are in a relationship.. Just lazy ppl that one can't help but start resenting overtime.
Also they are shallow and materialistic yet expect "true love" in return lol.., they are like the paradox of a dumb Russian mailorder bride.
10/10 would order 😂
On a more serious note, I asked my libra what he thinks about me on 5 of those points 😆click to expand

Capricorn women don’t get the hype they deserve. They don’t ask for it and they make do without it because their moves speak for themselves. Guys maybe feel a bit useless because their ‘approval’ isn’t being made a priority. Just their practical contributions. Earth. They focus on what actually happens you can’t talk your way around someone focused on reality lol. You’re either getting shit done or you’re not.
That's a very yang perspective
"Getting shit done" isn't the goal of everyone, nor should it be
Look at the world, the more you "get done", the more damage is caused to it environmentally, as an example. There is room and necessity for different energies to co-exist . I think Capricorn energy can be dismissive of that fact
No but Capricorn’s focus on the negative yeah?click to expand

Deserves what? You only have her word that these guys are being "controlling". It might be her that is the problem
I am not Blaming others!
So why are you Blaming Me??😒
Very Hypocritical of you!
You can't accuse me of blaming others, THEN blame me. Because that makes you as accusatory as you say I am being.
You are saying these men become controlling over time and you think it's their problem because they are insecure about how strong and confident you are etc
I'm saying that is your perception of what is happening. It's not an objective fact
I grew up with a Cap sister and have been around Caps at other times and invariably I have found them to be the kind of people who can ruin a picnic on a sunny day with their perceptions of how someone is "mistreating" them and most everyone around them is bewildered at why the Cap is making a fuss yet again..
What other placements does your sister have? Because this does not sound like Capricorn traits to me. Maybe this is solely your sister and not a planetary influence? Although, I do know a family who are like this, but I think it is a cultural thing although there are some common astro placements that the family has and it isn’t Capricorn.
hey, yes I may well be very biased against Caps - I admit it. Growing up with her was very frustrating as there was no brotherly-sisterly love and if ever there was on my part, I feel that she always used it to advance her own position like getting the best bedroom when we moved house, trying to take more attention from my parents, pretending to be a great sister in front of her friends and then being cold when they had gone etc
I'm not sure of her birth time but here is her chart

Personally, I think it's better that people express their dislike of Capricorns here in the safe confines of a dxp thread, rather than going around outside, bashing Capricorns on the head with a big stick 🤷♂️ but thats just me... I know there's no law against it, since they are considered a pest but I still think it's inhumane
