He seems like a good guy. I liked him in the beginning. Now like 3 months later he's not at all the person he started out as. Am I tripping?

Phone calls and check ins have fallen off.

He doesn't want to go out just hang out in the house.

I will say, the vibe is totally off now. I'm so much less interested because of the small and so unnecessary lies, stories that dont add up, and lack of communication.

I have to tell him so much and he acts like he can't comprehend. Are aquarius men usually aloof?

And are they generally less concerned with cleanliness? I had to breakdown to him that you cant get in the bed wearing the socks that you walk around the house in. This may be a bit of my own issue but is it normal to wear house socks in the bed? All the bacteria from the floor is now in the sheets.

I dated an aqua and same thing. Very interested in me in the beginning. Then bam! Much colder and it eventually ended.

Here’s my thoughts on the sock issue. He doesn’t like to be controlled and you’re trying to control him. Big no no. I have to wear socks to bed personally. If I work all day or whatever, I change my socks when I get home, usually after I shower. I never wear the same socks all day. But I don’t change into a fresh pair right before hopping into bed. My place is clean and I never once thought they were dirty before getting into bed.

Comparing to what it was "before" is pointless. That was the "get to know each other" phase, with a lot of new info to find and process.

The question is whether or not what he is doing now is good or enough for you. It could be that this is the way he is, in the way your socks issue show the way you are. Or it could be that he is getting more and more disenchanted by the prospect of a future with you.

Talk to him and find out which one is it, and most importantly, if a compromise can be reached. If one of you wants to change the other in ways that are neither reasonable nor possible, don't drag the inevitable for too long.

Also, here is some info about bedsheets, in case your OCD, pettiness and whatever issues you have will drive more suitors away (thank me later):

"The study revealed that after just one week of use, pillowcases were found to have 17 thousand times more bacteria than a toilet seat. While pillowcases that were left unwashed for four weeks had 39 times the bacteria of a pet bowl.

If you think you can get away with just changing your pillowcases more regularly, think again. The study found that after one week our bedsheets had more bacteria than a bathroom doorknob. After just two weeks that number multiplied to have more bacteria than a pet toy.

It isn’t surprising that our beds are a breeding ground for bacteria. Humans shed around 15 million skin cells each night, these provide the perfect setting for bacteria to multiply."

I don't know about aqua men but I had an aqua girl who was just like this. Amazing at first but they don't continue as they start. They start being "themselves" lol . She started wearing dungarees I'm like nah 😁 I liked you before and she's "I like my dungarees they're comfortable" Then they start doing a lot to distance you whilst acting like they're doing it for the good of your relationship. Then eventually you realise you are not with them anymore 😅

It's like they don't really want a relationship they want you to be two independent people who somehow travel on the same trajectory. It's weird

I took your aqua man jk

Ok so I met one recently he’s into my conversations, he initiates calls and texts and dates. Mine were just friends and getting to know each other.

Yes. I did tell him. He said he'd fix it. However, I see no real improvement.

Hes losing interest because he’s just not that into it anymore. Let him know how it makes you feel and if he cares he will make improvements.

The socks tho.. hahah! yeah, I dont change my socks before getting into bed, however... When I was with my gemini ex, no matter what he didnt like me to lay on the bed with the clothes I spent all day outside.. And he told me and I respected it...

Im a Girl aqua, and Im a little bit like that... at first we can go out and party but once I feel comfortable with someone I just want to be home. I dont feel the need to be texting you or calling you all the time . We are more chill... I clean my apartment but when sometimes gets messy it really don't bother me. And I don't let that stress me ( I got bigger things to worry about like "overthinking" we're always overthinking about stuff...idk if every aqua.. but I do )

I don't like to have my partner all over my hair... I feel suffocated, I believe they are grown ups they can find their own thing to do. That's one of the First things I told this Cancer guy I'm talking to.. That I wanted someone who was independent and could do things without me. (my last cancer wanted to breath my air )
