Hey everyone...

So, this isn't put her to bash the sign. My last relationship was with an Aries and it was the hardest I have ever had. It started off great but became terrible after about 3 months. I'm a Pisces. Anyone have some feedback between these two? I think my Aries found me boring.. and I found her too aggressive. We fought a lot. I feel like she was a skilled fighter, Pisces on the other hand..not so much. We get angry way past the point of it being healthy.

It appears they are not top of the list of sign compatibility either when it come to the fish.

Although Im not a Pisces, I had my share with Aries, in a relationship, friendship & family...Aries are in a league of there own!
They can be ok as friends, but other than that they are agrressive, dont reason until its too late, and they are disorganized! (well the onese ive met)



I agree with this. The men are too selfish to have an equal r.ship (the ones i have known and known of anyway). I am a water sign...Scorpio and felt at odds with them a lot of the time

Very immature and selfish too, sadly

😢

They are VERY selfish.
Oddly enough the Aries I dated was a female. BUT she was you know more aggressive/Tomboy- SHE found NOTHing wrong with talking to and hanging with ALL exes, and finally admitted and saw her flaws when I moved on with someone else.
She never wanted to take my advice. and Irronically she wanted to alwyas be there for those who hurt her and ccared less about her.
My aunt is the same way, she does for friends before her family.
Total DRAINING!

rings a bell. My ex was always in communication with Ex's and would take someones advice over mine, even if they were less informed /knowledgeable about the topic. She never took my advice.

During the relationship I had to take both a 3 month and 2 month break just to recover my energy. I was drained of everything. I know I had my faults but I had such a hard time understanding this sign.

This speaks volumes. She would never understand what I was saying as to problems we were having, or reason with me about them without getting angry until after I have left.. and this time moved on. But she gets depressive, etc.. like I should be able to cope. I don't know, it's weird. This one was cheap as hell too.. I mean, gave me grief for spending my own money..

I'm with a Capricorn now. NIGHT and DAY difference between the two.

WELL! There you have it! .....................But something about my aries ex that I somehow wanted to still talk to her. she was fun to talk to about anything but dont discuss anything going against who they are or what they stand for.

Capricorns are one of my favs. One of my closest friends is a CAP.
They are known for being pretty independent, loyal, smart, good in bed, and conservative....
BUT dont betray them!
Good luck and congrats on moving on...
I have never heard anything great abvout Aries besides them being great in bed.

I think I glean good things from all relationships.. However, not all good things gleaned are good at the time. For instance, she taught me how to deal with conflict, or better put.. how not to run away at the sign of aggression. This in turn taught me to communicate better, and to seek out alternatives to arguing. I was not the best at this, and still have room to grow but most assuredly I am better than I was prior.

That's interesting. I'm an Aries and I am far from agressive and even further from being cheap! Spend more money than I probably should in fact!! :-) Guess that just goes to show that you can't judge someone completely by their sun sign. There's so much more going into making them who they are and it's not always sugar and spice. I think that's true of any sign. That being said, some Aries rock!!! 😄

I'd like to think I am more grounded of the Pisces.. but I do float. I can get caught up in project having many that are always incomplete but always making little progress. I can imagine the end result of my work long before I even start. I know what I want and work hard to get it.. but I do not like all work and no play. My Cap girlfriend is much different. All business and she loves it. I work for a large corporation and I often feel captured/stifled. I do need to swim away at times when stress levels get high, and I often need more reassurance than others but if someone that cares for me understands that very little is required, if they actually provide it. :-) I did not misunderstand you.

I know we do have our issues. I try to pay attention and listen when someone calls me out on something, or at least try to always better this shit I'm guilty of doing.



This wasn't a cue to come in and start defending yourself or taking this personally.

From a past relationship and several friendships, this was ultimately the biggest issue that this Aries had with them. They love to mindfuck people for shits n giggles and when you're aware of it and see it from a mile away, it gets old. Why would you constantly say and do shit to experiment with someone's emotions like that?

Of course that shit is going to cause conflict. A lot of Aries can spot bullshitters from a mile away.

Aside from that, I'm fine with them. I just don't care for that bs.

Lol@ this thread

"not trying to bash her"...but I will have SUDDEN revelations of agreeing with people who've had bad experience with Aries. Oh poor Pisces me..not a skilled fighter...such an innocent soul.

lol@ dating for 3 months and thinking you know someone's character by then.

Are you sure you're not a Virgo? We have a thing for playing martyr also.

Anyway, to the topic at hand..the men are awesome, the women are awesome. Don't like them? GTFO

I am sure there's a fence somewhere in the vast wilderness you can occupy 😛. An aquarium on a fence.

Presumably though, if you're here taking stock of your relationship with the Aries, there must have been benefits and positive effects you received from being with her?



+1

Must be my progressed Sun in Libra but I couldn't agree more. People who get in relationships which fail and playing the martyr afterwards really grind my gears.

3 months is a a day....maybe a week in Aries time.

It's that water signs can be emotionally...too needy.



I want to expand on this.

Fire and water are emotional people. Hell my chart is fire first, then water.

Fire is reactive, water takes it all in.

It's just a different way to express one's self.

Martian energy blends well with neptunian...when the dreamy Pisces who's drifting from side to side gets a dirrection and a purpose...and when the martian partner feels soothed, more calm.

Aries people abhor manipulation because they are easiest to get played by water signs. Like Hansel and Gretel, you lure fire signs in with bread crumbs and sweets and stories.

Water signs on the other hand..have an obsession with looking for depth in their partness. The Aries straightforward approach is weird to them because they cannot see the currents underneath. The water (the ocean) will always find the fire signs to have the consistency of a puddle of rain. Why try to find the ocean in puddles? (not using this to bash Aries people, just a metaphor). Both serve a purpose in the bigger picture...and out of the two it should be the ocean who should bend to the puddle's will because the ocean has a thousands puddles in it and should GET where the puddle is coming from.

Yeah, the merc retro has passed. I can explain myself again, hooray.

I dont want to diss anyone but Aries is far more suited to challenging r.ships..moving on, fun, sex, conquering etc etc, they are the child energy, become bored and find it hard at times to connect emotionally...water is the opposite end of the scale

The Aries r/ships i was involved in left me feeling somewhat disconnected and quite lonely



This is opposite of the truth. We don't like challenging relationships. (Maybe you're thinking Venus in Aries) We are on our worst behavior in challenging relationships. Take a look at who is commenting in this thread. All water signs. It's not that we are devoid of emotion as you would like to portray us. It's that water signs can be emotionally...too needy.
click to expand




They absolutely are.

I dunno about "we" being all, but I agree, I'm not a fan of "challenging" relationships. It's one thing if you need to make it work, but there are times where people often confuse "challenging" with "impossible." As in a ton of conflict and all this bs. Relationships should not be THAT hard to make work. If it is, it's probably not meant to be.

Whenever I've had to deal with "challenging" it was because it was total bullshit I was expected to tolerate. Life is hard enough and if someone is out to create dramas and a "challenging" environment, you have fun doing that shit. I'm outta here. We're already high strung and the last thing we need is some sociopath playing with emotions and creating problems because they're bored and emotionally retarded. Relationships are meant to complement your life, not complicate it.

I also find this little theory coming from a Scorp absolutely lol worthy. You assholes are notorious for creating drama because you need to keep things interesting (fixed signs tend to do this). I've had several Scorp friends go and ruin things because they had to create dramas to feel alive. Those who do this need psychological help, tbh. :/

My Pisces brother is with his Aries partner for 20 years now. My Pisces sister is with her Aries husband for 23 years.

Both are disastrous relationships but they won't leave although there has been a bit of splitting up over the years, sister and aries brother in law are just resigned to their faith and stay together for the children, but they are good communicators with each other and seem to have settled into life together at last. Brother and aries girlfriend are just over yet another split and are young lovers in love, giving it another 6 months before the next drama is sparked - their poor kids are always in the middle of it.

All the other Aries I know have great relationships with their spouses/partners and the two best of them are married to other rams.

I dated 2 Pisces men. It was hell on earth for me. Lots of drinking, cheating, whining, and lying on their part. Always trying to use people. I am an Aries Sun, Cancer Asc. with Venus in Pisces. I love Pisces people....but, I can't date them because of the constant deception.
I only got aggressive with my Pisces exes when I was ready to kick them to the curb.

Did they promise you every day that there will be no drinking, cheating, whining, and lying?

No? Then there is no deception. Just false expectations from your part. Not your fault though, it usually happens.

This is such a water sign answer. "Well I never told you I was going to change so it's your fault for putting up with all of my bullshit." "You never told me not to cheat on you." PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Hey, have you ever thought to treat people with the same respect that they treat you?
click to expand




I think there are good points to both these arguments but heres the catch 22 and I think this is where the difference between men and women lie... for men with other men they were kind of raised in a world where you get the respect you earned, where women we are raised to believe we are entitled to this respect. And this is where you get most botched communication between both. Women just expect respect from the get go and never really define what that respect means and so when a man disrespects her she takes it by still allowing him to be in her life with the same love. They may have talked about it but obviously nothing is being communicated.

Long story short, women need to stop accepting bad behavior and expecting that just because you let a man back into your life or forgive him for past sins does NOT mean he will do a 180 and change. You need to define your boundaries and move on... one of my favorite all time quotes that is appropriate for this "The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for." -Bob Marley

The deception had nothing to do with the drinking. They were deceptive as in "I am not still seeing with my Ex." Then, when caught red-handed making out with said Ex in a bar. "Well, we are just hooking up and not dating. You're the one I love. " That is deception. Meanwhile, both of these Pisces men would go all shark shit crazy if another man even said "Hi" to me. And crying on the phone all of the time "Take me back. It was a mistake." Waaaah. lol.

Too much drama. Better as platonic friends for me.

What would be the point of him telling you the truth, if you couldn't believe it?

I'd like to catch up with my ex (husband) once in a while too. Nothing wrong with that. It's called ex for a reason. Now imagine my partner would try to forbid it. Seriously now? Would he try to stop me from seeing my siblings as well? I wouldn't even bother to "deceive" him (e.g telling him what he wants to hear and doing what I want). If he doesn't trust me, he shouldn't be in a relationship with me. Trust and love go hand in hand.

@xtina: I have to disagree. I think you're giving men too little credit. You're speaking of a small percentage of men who still need to be parented. I'm not going to parent a man. I'm not going to have a discussion about basic human courtesy. I personally (and maybe you too since you have a Libra moon) think before I do something...how will this effect other people? If I think it would hurt someone, I question whether or not it's worth doing.




...but you're not a man and you are not one of THESE men. Here you are, placing your own thoughts and views on some individuals who don't think like you and use that as a basis to disagree with her point, which is spot on.

I think you're giving these types of guys TOO much credit because you're talking like they're capable of thinking like women. They aren't.

A real astrologist would never judge you solely on your sun sign unless they has hard aspects. ratherly by your whole natal birth chart is better prefered.

Truth be told though. My opinion on my parent's relationship is strictly from an outside perspective. I know that the two of them are capable of taking secrets to the grave, as I found out 'accidentally' when I was 21, that I was adopted: neither of my parents ever told me, and when I asked my dad about it he was shocked I came to him with it but then immediately told me.
When I told my mom she said "how did you find out." lol..and then never spoke to me about it again. Wouldn't answer my questions, etc.

So who really knows what happened between them. I figure a lot of built up resentment over the years and an emotionally challenging relationship.



Im sorry to hear that it was very heart felt to me even though you probably didnt make it out to be that way. Im an aries with pisces mercury and lilith so i feel both sides of what your saying and my mother is aquarius and i have told her the same statement too lol except it was worded differently.

Bitch she's not one of THESE men either so how can she know what's going on in their head anymore than I do? smh. Furthermore, I didn't place my own thoughts in their head. I said I won't deal with those types of men PERIOD...she's the one who thinks it's okay to still engage with a man who needs to be told every little step to take and where. If I have to do that, it's not worth my time.

I might be able to help.. I am an aries that was married to a Pisces for 8 years..The key word was married. My experience with my Pisces was he was always evolving, dreaming and his feet never touching the ground. He was always in his own world, he never shared what was truly going on with himself.He was passive aggressive and never wanted to talk about any issues we had. He always said everything was OK and it truly wasn't. Always in a dream state, he mad me angry. I pushed and pushed fought him because I knew everything wasn't ok. With aries you need to be direct, aries don't understand anything about directness..It made me mad, I pushed him away by fighting and he pushed me away because of his dreaming and passive aggressive behavior.

No, I don't believe men should be parented and told what to do. My point was that women need to take responsibilities for their own actions and realize it takes two to tango. I'm not saying accepting men and these bad behaviors. No. I think instead of blaming men they need to look at the part they're playing as well by allowing "bad" men like that into their lives and accepting their bad behavior.

It's really as simple as if he's not giving you what you want don't give him what he wants. Don't whine about it if you end up on your ass because you blindly give a man what he wanted with out getting what you want in return first
