Why are Aquarius men so emotionally detached?
Why Aquarius Men Often Seem Emotionally Detached
Aquarius men may appear emotionally distant because they process feelings internally and prioritize logic over emotions. Stress and overwhelming situations can make them withdraw further. This behavior is common as they value independence and mental clarity, especially during challenging times. Understanding their unique emotional approach can improve communication and connection.
Why would you wanna be emotionally attached when life hits you hard.
That could be somebody's motivation to not give up, when life hits them hard.
It's a rhetorical question.

You have to be on their level for them to open up some. If not, they become disinterested.

Well if that shows then what else ? I guess I just expect men to communicate better when their older.

I guess not to expect anything and accept him as he is?

If that is your expectation you should ask yourself if his emotional availability is sufficient for you. If not, don't expect him to change, because he probably won't. We are up in our head a lot and when things get rough, our partner is the last one we want to bother with it. It can come off as detached though. But we need time and space to process emotions on the inside.

I can understand exactly what you saying? I was just like don’t tell me one thing and do the opposite cause the more you get to know someone, their true colors show. Do Aquarius remain loyal during their space and time apart? Also do Aquarius believe in long term relationships?
Because that's how they are! Nobody can change anyone, the sooner you understand that, the better.

Well, if his words and actions don't match, confront him. I'm not a guy, but if I'm going through something, I focus on that and not on other people if that make sense. And it does take time to get to know someone. As a fixed sign, a long term relationship is probably preferred.

Understood, do you all prefer someone that still check on you to make sure your ok? I’m asking these things cause I don’t know and everyone is different

I personally appreciate it if someone checks on me, but it has to be in a genuine, light, non controlling way or I will shut you out. And if I'm not done processing things, I will go quiet again. It's confusing, I know.

Very but I get it, the ones closest feel it the hardest. So if he apologized then is it sincere and he explained what was going on, I should understand?

I don't know your exact situation but it seems you have trouble trusting him. Maybe you should address that first?

Did you get the message?
I'm similar. I will throw myself into work because if I slow down I will break down. Easier to just focus on a task and push everything off to the side.
I was with a Moon in Aquarius guy for years. He ran away in his work and it affected the relationship. He found it difficult to relate outside of that
He still does it... he’s happiest when
working .... it comes first
I think this is normal for aqua, even when not stressed. They are thinkers, always living in their mind, even worse than pisces.

See and I’m a Pisces, I won’t overthink though if communication is crystal clear.
In general aqua men are not good with expressing their emotions. If you keep pushing it might have the opposite effect. If he's going through a hard time just let him know your there for him and let him open up on his own but if you keep pushing it, it might come across as demanding and needy. They value their space.
So what I’m taking from all this is that this is normal, get with it or get gone?

Pretty much ... but that applies to everyone ... can’t change anyone so either acceptance or
walk >>>>>>>>>>

I think so. Im aqua moon and as much as my pisces sun wants love and affection, my moon prevents me from being as affectionate as I want to be. And it sucks. I spend a good chunk of my daily time trying to solve problems and one of my best friends is aqua married to a cap. I watch her trying to constantly get his attention or make him aware of something. He usually says something similar to ok babe give me a few minutes. He stays doing whatever it is he is doing for hours. That's what aqua does far as I can tell.
Go get it if you want it!!
He’s been into still yet more attentive lately. He’s also suppose to be spending the holidays with me and a few of my close friends. His mom and dad are deceased.
They don't even know.
It’s just them huh?

Been dating this auqa for a while, seems like when life hits him hard his emotions go out the window and he’s not focused on life as a whole, it’s more so work, work and more work. Is this normal?
