So my aqua guy posts stuff about us and his ex obviously saw it and liked the post then reached out to him saying she wants to see him. He told me about it and said he wasn't going to respond to her. He said he hasn't talked to her in two years and she's obviously jealous. Well later on he says that she says she misses him and complimenting him on how he looks now so i said so you responded? He said yes but shut her down.i told him he couldn't have even responded like he said and he said he was curious. I said curious about what it's obvious what she was trying to do. I'm pissed... why would he even respond if he said he wasn't going to?

"Curious about what?" is a very valid question to ask. If he responded to simply shut her down, that's fine. However being curious about his ex isn't a great.

He gave her closure

Closure? She cheated on him two years ago so he broke up with her.

So he knows I'm mad about it. I'm not sure how to handle it and what i should say. I'm trying to calm down before reacting... any suggestions?

This remind me of “men are able to love anything”

It’s hard for a man to refuse a woman, especially a woman who hurt him very bad, men are complacted.

yes I believe you have to just chill and let things settle - he might have changed his mind after he said he was not going to respond and later decided to respond just to shut her down - and if this is the case, that will be clear in the aftermath

it would have been nice if he would have told you what he was doing so you didn't have to find out later but talk to him and see where things stand after all of this

Something I didn't say before is that Aquas have a really hard time of letting og of that ONE ex. They are great at detaching from most lovers except that one person who they truly cared about, usually it's the ONE ex who broke their heart. This is because Aquas don't attach easily, so anyone who can bypass their walls will always have a strong hold over them (ex or otherwise).

If an Aqua is truly done with an ex, that person will NEVER hear from them. They won't try to be friends, acquaintences, or anything of that sort. This is where the fixed nature of Aqua really comes out.

However if the Aqua never truly let that ex go in their heart, to be honest, they were never truly yours. Again this is their fixed nature at play. The problem is Aquas are so cerebral and have such a hard time with their own ego and emotions, that admitting this to themselves is difficult. They are not great at confronting emotional truths, preferring to analyze a situation rather than feel it out.

My suggestion is if the ex comes up again, calmly let your boyfriend know that his attachment to his ex is clearly not something he is ready to let go. Let him know that you are not going to be with someone who can't let go of their past relationship. If he can't cut off the ex, LEAVE. It won't do you any good to sit around worrying what his true feelings are. I only say this because I've watched Aquas ruin relationships over that one ex syndrome.

So my aqua is crazy about me, it's very obvious to everyone. I know that he hasn't talked to her in two years, she cheated on him, and she's on his social media accounts so he's been posting alot of us on it the past couple months so she reached out to him. I told him he should put her in her place he assured me he did and that he would never jeopardize what he has with me for her and that I don't realize how much he loves me. I'm very cautious about people but he hasn't given me a reason to doubt anything he says. Honestly he didn't even have to tell me she messaged him but he says he wants to be honest about everything with me.

One thing I don’t understand.

If somebody is crazy about me and I am sure of it I wouldn’t be making this post in a first place...
