No, not generally speaking

What is up Libra?
I really dont know, and he cant seem to put his finger on it either but I think I need to lead us in the right direction.

On one hand he is saying he feels like a shitty bf (I cant reassure him more than I already do that I love him and happy with things)

He works 12 hr minimum shifts, he'll stay in the office longer if i'm not home

He says he feels like sometimes he gets these fleeting moments of wanting to be alone/single? But then he imagines life without me and he cant (here he got teary)

I think it may be best if I move back to my own place, give him the space he needs then the option will be in his hands for us time and he wont have to feel guilty about asking for alone time or "send me away"

he agreed but asked me to stay until we leave the country (He's away to meet his parents for 2 weeks and i'm leaving to my home county for 6 weeks) the time apart will do us good hopefully.

Did you move in with him after all? I remember you saying you woudln't do that

Seems he doesn't know what he wants at the moment

I would stand back for a while to let him sort his head out

Sorry

He gave me the key, I still have my own place but I felt we were going at a natural pace yet on the other now all this comes up but he doesnt want me away from him so I will have to create scenarios where I "am busy doing this or that"

The Aries guy i was with (who cared about me deeply) said to me (he was very honest) that he didn't know how to put other people before himself and always described himself as *self involved*

I am not sure how one is supposed to be in a relationship with that kind of mentality?
Did you feel that he was self involved too much? I dont get this from my Aries so this is why im worrying maybe he is not being himself-maybe he trying too hard to please me and not showing his true colours yet (being self involved) I'd personally say hes not self involved enough, yet all I do is encourage him to be so.

Aries men tend to work a lot. If it doesn't bother you just reassure and support him and he will see that. 🙂

My man is an entrepreneur and works a lot too. I guess I got used to it. I know why it's important to him but I don't value material things that much so I don't really need that much to be happy.

Ironically I'm now working more than him because I chose to take on a project to get a raise. A decision I've come to regret. It's just not worth the money.

Just support him and he will be fine. You could try to stay busy too so he doesn't feel he is abandoning you. 🙂

Last point is great advice! Sensitive soul this one is! Thank you 🙂

Yes he was....he did try to be more considerate but had the attitude of "I want, what I want" kind of vibe.....not a bad person at all....just wanted things on his own terms

Of FREAKING course!!!

My Sea-Goat's Aries mother is THE hardest-working person I know! I'm talking back-to-back-to-back-to-back 12-13 hour shifts at the family business (started by her father and her step-mother.) She is the only one out of all the 5 children (who, by the way, are actually the children of both parents) who actually stayed to help the parents keep their business surviving (the rest all travelled, mostly to the west coast, to get away from the responsibility.) She will step in when things go wrong and stay to make it right. She does all of that and STILL makes time to be nice! She cooked me a vegan (she's a meat and potatoes person, so that makes it all the more amazing) surprise birthday dinner and bought each family member a book for Easter (I got 'Watership Down.' —

I'm not at that level of sacrifice because I'm not a mother. But I will be there for my family and do what's right - even if I cry about it. And I HAVE CRIED when I had to dip into my savings and buy things for my family when we were all in a tight spot. So - HECK YES. When pushed by circumstance, Aries WILL come through for our family. I think that any Aries who says 'no,' might not have yet been put in the situation to prove that they will sacrafice for the ones they love. If all is well then, unlike my cancer sister who is there all of the time, I think everyone can handle themselves, and I go off and do my own thing.

So my short answer, yes. My consciousness is always fighting between what I feel to be right and wrong, and if I don't please it by doing the right thing - it tears me up inside. Yes, I will do the right thing, but I can still cry over it because it might not be what I want to do (I.e. Spending my savings on family needs.) Yes, but not casually - there must be a need.

depends on who the sacrificing is for.


True....I have known people make huge sacrifices for their work, but not their families so much.


yeah it's all about their priorities

Sure is

I also think some men use work to escape in, whereas women can talk through their issues with friends...generally speaking of course

It's no fun being married to a workaholic!

Why does he work so much? Because of money?
Money and to achieve his goals, he is very focused on the future now he is earning good money. But seems not to be able handle the guilt he feels from not making time for everything else inc himself. I dont care about me, im fine with the time I get from him and very happy but HE is beating himself up about it despite this fact?! I am always reassuring him, breaks my heart that he feels he's not giving me enough and how its affecting him 😕

Yes it depends on how much they care for you and what needs you are talking about.

My man has done it for me and also for his family. When they truly care they are actually really sweet. 🙂

Two days ago my aries colleague came to my desk and asked me how work was going and if there was anything he could do to help. I've been so stressed lately and when he asked that it just melted my heart. I could see how he genuinely cared and wanted to help me.

I've also got a female aries colleague that's been really nice and sweet. I think they are both the most genuinely nicest in our group...also the funniest. 😆

It's all generalizations what you ask about aries but I've been lucky to have met some awesome aries. 😄


Wow. You are so lucky.? My husband is one Seriously SERIOUSLY SELFISH Son of a B**tch!

It's all about him. What he wants. What he needs. Blah blah blah.

its like I don't exist!

He even cannot stand hearing the word No!

You know what he does?

He takes the word No, and analyses it to make it mean Yes !??! The behaves as if I said Yes??!! Then wonders why I get angry!

I am sure he is an 3 tree case BUT I have never er met anyone as crazy as this!

I have said to him many times ...

"WHAT part of NO did you NOT understand? ?"

What he expressed is pretty normal to feel from time to time imo. I don't know why you offered to move out other than maybe you felt afraid of some sort of rejection? which would be understandable but it's also a very controlling reaction to have.

He's expressed how he feels and you're mothering him by taking the view of "he needs to decide what he really wants for himself". In the end I'm betting it's going to pay off if you try to relate to him as an equal rather than taking the stance that it's all on him to come around.
I dont believe I took a mothering stance whatsoever, we talked almost all morning about it. Me asking what he wants/needs, why does he think he feels this way, what I can do to make it better, etc etc I told him that how he is feeling is totally normal. I think its just an adjustment period, it had to happen at some point-it just threw me how upset he got about it, tears and v emotional...

But if it bothers him so much why can't he work less? He feels he can't be a good bf when he is working so much so he rather stay single?

I think if you keep reassuring him it doesn't bother you he will eventually see that and that you need your space too.

He doesnt want to stay single, he says he feels everything else is on the back burner and he doesnt even do the things for him that makes him happy anymore-he needs solitude often and isnt getting it-but at the same time when I make my own plans he wont get his head out the damn office and go do something healthy or "me time" for himself shall we say. Lol. Hence why I think I need to create the situation where he just finds himself at home alone on occasions and he gets that time without him having to initiate it?

If you believe that there is no such thing as impossible, ignore the naysayers and carry on. It's a difficult pairing but it can work if both parties know how to put their egos aside to make things work. I am a spawn of the Libra-Aries pairing (42 years now and counting) and I know of a few other Libra-Aries pairings amongst friends.

Sounds like he needs to work less. Aries men usually need time to be alone and do their own thing and they are ambitious so they tend to work a lot.

Did you recently move in with him? Maybe he is just adjusting to it. Don't make a big deal out of it. I'm sure he will come around once he sees you don't need to be with him all the time even if you're living together.

As a libra myself I think when we see the person we care about sad we want to do anything to make them feel better but sometimes it's just better to not make such a big deal out of it. The more you let it effect you the more guilty he would probably feel. Better just go with the flow and let it ride out.

Don't worry so much. 🙂

I think you're really spot on tbh. I was proper shaken by the display of emotion, to the point I realised how maybe people can see us as cold. Lol! I guess he may well be really overwhelmed. The sex afterwards was phenomenal right enough. haha! Then he went off upstairs to the gym for half an hour. And spoke to his parents on the phone for a while. Was quickly back to his usual cuddly bubbly ever-giving self afterwards.

I would stand back for a while to let him sort his head out

Sorry

😢


He gave me the key, I still have my own place but I felt we were going at a natural pace yet on the other now all this comes up but he doesnt want me away from him so I will have to create scenarios where I "am busy doing this or that"

Enjoy it while it lasts. He'll be on his way soon enough. Sorry but Libras and Aries - smh


lol how so?
If you believe that there is no such thing as impossible, ignore the naysayers and carry on. It's a difficult pairing but it can work if both parties know how to put their egos aside to make things work. I am a spawn of the Libra-Aries pairing (42 years now and counting) and I know of a few other Libra-Aries pairings amongst friends.
That's wonderful! Who is the Aries/Libra?

I'm an Aries and more often than not I sacrifice my own needs for people I love. I do this for maybe 5 people only. To me they are above everything else so it happens that sometimes I ended up doing things for them, regardless of what I want for me. I think this is an Aries trait...when we love, we love with intensity and full force.

In your case, he seems to be suffering from too much work. He is stressed. He wants to do everything right and he can't. And he is unconsciously subbotaging his relationship. Thats a cry for help. He wants you. Dont go anywhere. He is stressed and he is venting. As long as he is talking to you about what he feels, you're good.

Hope you work it out. Ive been following your story and you seem like a sweet in love couple. 🙂

Myself and others have said to him, he will have a breakdown if he continues to work like he is but every day up he gets 5:30am, head down, marching to work and straight on it like it wont take a toll (I'm pretty sure its because people are telling him take it easy, he does the opp LOL)

"Don't go anywhere" I needed to hear that again I think. He did ask me "Please do me one favour, don't leave me until we both leave on holiday" (in 2 weeks time)

And I have absolutely no intention of.

He msg me the next day from office "I know ive been a little mushy as of late but please don't think i'm any less of a man" I responded "To me it makes you very much a man and i'm thankful you talked to me, please dont ever feel you cannot"

I love him alot, I just hope this Cap moon of mine doesn't get in the way and he doesn't find me a cold hearted emotionless bitch and he focuses on the fact that I am trying very hard to understand him and do my best for the relationship. I think it's the first time ive ever been so fully invested in a relationship tbh.

No, not generally speaking

What is up Libra?
I really dont know, and he cant seem to put his finger on it either but I think I need to lead us in the right direction.

On one hand he is saying he feels like a shitty bf (I cant reassure him more than I already do that I love him and happy with things)

He works 12 hr minimum shifts, he'll stay in the office longer if i'm not home

He says he feels like sometimes he gets these fleeting moments of wanting to be alone/single? But then he imagines life without me and he cant (here he got teary)

I think it may be best if I move back to my own place, give him the space he needs then the option will be in his hands for us time and he wont have to feel guilty about asking for alone time or "send me away"

he agreed but asked me to stay until we leave the country (He's away to meet his parents for 2 weeks and i'm leaving to my home county for 6 weeks) the time apart will do us good hopefully.

There is alot of stress on Aries right now...

We just caught the tail end of a mercury retro after it was in Taurus...

I would see how things are but he most likely just feels like he is not giving enough to you... The truth is the economy is crappy and people are having to work really hard... Not many woman appreciate or understand work ethic these days. Good for you... but be careful just make him know you don't want to end what you have but you may ask yourself if you have a real future together and just want to say... or later much later from now like in a month or a little more talk about it.

As much as people don't seem worried soon they will be if there relationships go no where... after all he is not just some friend.

You did well but I think he is just moody and wants to make sure you are ok with him working so hard... As astrology says this will pay off very well for him... So he feels it is not a choices and is idealistic that someone will have to except him for how and what he has to offer.

I wish I ran into someone as understanding as you...

Do you mind if I ask your placements.

I sacrificing so much of myself for years for my family and friends. I paid a high price for it. When any of my family or friends were in trouble i was their for them. I even gave up treatment so my family got what they needed. I got the short hand of the stick in relationships because they didnt try to understand me and what i needed out of the relationship. i lost a lot of myself from sacrificing to much of myself that i became very sick and almost comitted suicide. they show me love the way they wanted to love and didnt show love to me the way i wanted to be loved. it happens.

I support it very much because I respect and admire his work ethic. I don't mind coming 2nd place to someone who is trying to build a future and trying to care of the financial aspects of his life. Not at all. And I can't say that I even feel 2nd place as such. I'm absolutely fine, and reassure him as much as I possibly can on this. I told him life can be tough on us as is, I don't want to add to the stress, I want to be very much the opposite-a source of peace for him.

I have the tendancy to continually look at how things could be on the other hand eg I am not dealing with a guy who is out every night at the bar wasting money, coming home drunk etc etc. He's a 32 yr old guy trying to build a foundation-i'm proud to be his girlfriend and hope it lasts to see the fruits of all this labor!

My placements:

Sun: Libra

Moon: Cap

Mercury: Sco

Venus: Lib

Mars: Virgo

Yes.

Especially if they have water mars/moon.


He is Pisces moon...just what I thought also after posting this...

He has told you what he wants without telling you. They are very passive aggressive (pisces moon). He is not happy. Can I ask you a serious question? Are you clingy? My closest friend is a pisces moon and he uses work to escape clingy people.

I'd say he is the clingy one but I dont push him away ever...I actually think he may be Aries moon-different sites giving me different results. Thanks for your insight it definately entered my mind already work might just be an escape. He seems absolutely fine now and I checked in with him again on that topic-he's said that he thinks it may have just been the "breakdown" that everyone had mentioned to him was coming. He is off on vacation in a few days for 2 weeks, well overdue!
