Being honest helps but not looking weak either

These moons are like st bernards theyll find out


The thing is I’m honest, very honest, painfully honest? Not like cursing or anything, but blunt & it makes him withdraw. I want to get to a point where we can resolve conflict without him withdrawing but I need advice on what it looks like to be successful in doing that.

Yeah i am the same i am super direct. I am also a water moon so it helps i like to get to the bottom of things. Its cause your air moon is squared his moon which causes misunderstandings. They are very sensitive as well. Maybe back off a little and hold back what you think will be offensive. Its tough tho with squared moons

Chiiillleee tell me about it! Because when I feel slighted I am a passionate and impulsive speaker. I was just telling him today I have to learn how to be silent and wait it out then maybe I’ll figure out how to communicate better when I’m cooled off. It’s just hard to allow myself to wait 😩

Lol yeah takes discipline. But also if you fully conform that goes back to not being honest

Well I feel like compromise doesn’t have to be dishonesty, it can be growth. I want to grow from having to clash during disagreements to maybe have healthy discussions? There has to be some personality type that’s good at conflict resolution with cancer moons that I could learn from lol

I am a Cancer moon and also a history with Scorp partners. I actually think that's what makes me get along with them. Cancer moons are highly intuitive and key into their partners - lots of unspoken communication.

It helps if you really try to understand where we are coming from. We ARE sensitive and it's not necessary to come at us aggressively. Tame that Scorp temper down a little before you try to work it out.


Okay yes I figured that might be the key, going away to calm down first. For me it might need a day or two because I took a few hrs before but I was still hot 😅. I’m usually diplomatic in my approach but my words can be rigid. But okay I’ll practice stepping back.

Jesus people, buy a synonyms dictionary and find the best, nicest words so you'll be open but not blunt of "painfully honest". Advice works for every aspect of life. If this is the same guy whose mother is ill, I'd tell him I'm there for him when he needs someone. Don't push it. He has more difficult, larger than life issues right now than a gf being blunt with him.


This post is a YEAR old but okay lol. Thanks for your humble opinion...
