My Aries has talked " down to me a few times...calling me out on really obvious or trivial things. When he does this he infers that he has to look out for me or " no one will".. I'm not sure how to respond .. I feel a love hate relationship with him? Why does he do this to me?? TIA
Aries male condesending

Because Arieses are the babies of the zodiac. They lack tact and refinement. Think of them as overgrown children. Same reason why they mostly refuse to admit they're wrong and when called out on it, they sulk and ignore you.
Posted by Greendream69So should I just ignore him when he says these things or call him out?

Try to talk to me down and you will be looking for your balls in a trash can if I had a good lunch and haven't cooked them for my sandwich!
YOU girls let them talk down to you and than come here to ask stupid questions like this one!
You let him do it once _ door is open!!!
He will do it again!
Unless you break his jaw!
Posted by KoniuchaaYes! ———??I feel it's fair—! Not sure if I want to start crap with him but I know I wouldn't put up with that from anyone else!
Have you considered pummeling him?

He does this to you in front of other people?

I have NEVER let another person talk to me like that before.. there is something about it that's infantile so I just don't know how to handle this now...and what's with the Libra comment? Cuz we love harmony? I'm slightly obsessed and slightly repulsed ?

He's just trying to protect you and loves you.
He's going about it the wrong way though.
I knew an Aries man like that once. We weren't compatible though because our ego's were too big and none of us budged during fights so it eventually fizzled out.

Don't let him talk down to you that way. Walk away and grow a backbone. He'll always do it if you don't put him in his place. I guarantee that if you give him a taste of his own medicine hell eventually stop doing it. my ex used to do annoying shit all the time on top of that he'd like to bully me.
They really are big babies because when I started doing that back to him, hed get all button hurt and go an sulk on his own. Only to seek out 'justice' by flirting with other women online.
With an aries you have to be the domineering one and put them in their place when they step out of line. Picture a kid taunting mommy. When mommy pulls out the whip they cry, beg, and wheep. Assholes

I'm an Aries, and I come off that way also sometimes.
He probably really is trying to "look out for you", we're just really brash. We say things as they come into our head, without overlooking them or thinking about how they could hurt others.

Posted by RemixGeneralFishyLike many things in life that, as we grow more experienced with them, we come to learn are much more complicated than we had originally thought, generalizing individuals based on a sun sign is not always - or even often - accurate. Mileage varies between individuals, and I don't think sulking and ignoring someone when called out, or refusing to admit a person is wrong, is a characteristic of many Aries. Yes, I've seen it in some, but I've seen that behavior in many human beings, regardless their date of birth.

Posted by Greendream69This obviously makes you feel bad, and for good reason: you're an adult. Why would you want to be made to feel inadequate by your significant other? Do you ever see it as a poor attempt to manipulate you? It also feels pretty critical. It's immature behavior and I wouldn't want to live with it.

He is not my significant other though....

Even if he was that's not a good partnership.

Posted by ScufflesPosted by Greendream69Going by some of the Arians' responses here, I think he cares about you but shows it in an inconsiderate way. Have you tried confronting him about this behavior so that he'll learn how to set boundaries when it comes to his attitude and show respect with his interaction towards you?

No I haven't as of yet... I'm pretty sure he knows because I don't hide my emotions well, my face gives it away.. today he was very subdued and polite .. I think he realized he was an ass! IDK but it's stressful

Posted by Greendream69Just wondered if it was immaturity but he should really be on the other end of that by now. Put him in his place. Tell him it ain't acceptable, I wouldn't see any other option tbh. Love yourself and don't accept from bs from any man.Posted by LibraLovesHimPosted by Greendream69How old are you both?Posted by dolluxeNo one was around today but he has said things lol he tjis a few times but only in front of his buddies.

Posted by Greendream69Be careful in how you call him out. It might just make him angry, and he won't know how to handle it. If he is young he may not have anger refinement. We are usually right, so when we are wrong we don't like to be criticized. 🙂Posted by Greendream69So should I just ignore him when he says these things or call him out?

The fact he talks to you in this way is a "protective" stance. He is like a warrior and you're the princess. He really doesn't hate you. You have to understand Aries can be hate you love you and then laugh with you all in the space of 3 minutes.
Then he may even want sex 10 minutes later. leaving you completely confused. This behavior though sounds like he hasn't grown up much yet. I would suggest trending safely if he is important to you, because Aries learn by breaking hearts, and often don't realize it until it way too late. Then we can spend years regretting it to the point of pure depression. Lots of sleepless nights crying ourselves to sleep. Something most aries will not admit generally as we have the tough hard exterior shell as our public image.
Some Aries will remain completely bitter and never take blame at all. So it really depends on the Aries.

He's doing it in front of his friends.
He's not your DAD.
I don't let anyone embarrass me in public
(purposely, I mean lol) more than once.
He's basically implying that your incompetent.
It's a mystery how you stayed alive all those
years before he came along.
?
Posted by SeraphlightOh he has a lot of Aries and Callie placements... I really feel
It depends ..he could be justifying treating you badly by saying ..no one else looks out for you. You need me..so put up with it.
The cappie used to do that.
Like crawling under a rock??

So he might be insecure. Insecure Aries can be condescending. Aries, when insecure, can want to fight or compete with others to secure their position. Condescension could be an attitude he brings to position himself, at least in his mind, above you, something he may want to feel when things are not totally secure in his life.
This is all just thinking out loud. I'm not totally sure, to be honest, why this person is condescending toward you. It's not a nice or healthy behavior to be around, for sure, and I would distance yourself emotionally.
Posted by Libramisshahaha,
Maybe he likes you and is insecure about it. Like the boys in kindergarten pulling the hair on the girls they like kinda way because they don't know how else to show it. Lolol. 😆
I said to my best friends wife a couple months ago to stay off her feet after a surgery because she was running around doing stuff when she shouldn't be. So yeah it is obvious. Not meant to be your too stupid to know that. Just a way for us to show we care about you as a person. It is just a matter of perspective. Her response to me was "yes Daddy" hahaha. So I laughed. So you could try that. He might find it funny.
Posted by LibramissYes I am, I know I would find it hilarious.Posted by spurAre you telling OP to say "yes daddy" to him? 😆Posted by Libramisshahaha,

Posted by Greendream69No matter what their sign i have had men always talking down to me. if he wants a good debate give him one. just make sure you have facts straight on things. lol i learned a long time ago that i would start fights with my hubby when i was board. lol everything you said my hubby does to me and he is a vigo. you can do a few things, give him the fight he wants, throw him off guard by doing something funny and crazy, or walk away from him ever time he does it. have you told him how you feel about it when thing are in a calm state.
