Hi everyone. It's my first time posting here 🙂
After reading this board for the the last hour it seems like everyone has a Capricorn story. Here is mine! ha!

I was dating my Capricorn guy for 6 months. We started off as friends (for about 3-4 months) but the chemistry was the best i've ever experienced so we decided to give the relationship a try (i'm a Scorpio). Things were so good the first 5 months of the relationship. He adored me more than any other guy ever had and told i was the first girl he has ever opened up to.
But the last month of the relationship i noticed he was not giving me the time that i wanted. We never had any big fights but he abruptly ended the relationship saying he wants to concentrate on his work life.

We remained friends even though it was extremely hard for me because i was still so in love with him. He said he needed me in his life as his best friend. We probably had more ups and downs as friends because it was hard for me to hang out with him in social settings and just see him as a friend. We have a lot of common friends so i would end up seeing him almost every weekend.
But for the past 2 months he has been extremely cold and has stopped talking to me completely. I'm just trying to figure out why he wanted to remain friends in the beginning. Was he just trying to keep me around until he gets over the relationship? i guess i just feel extremely hurt by it because i did believe him when he said he needed me in his life. We have gone from talking for hours daily to him not even wanting to have a conversation with me when he sees him. He will message everyone and even talk to ppl he's not too fond of but me. Back in December at a friends party in his drunken state of mind he told me he can't talk to me because he's still in love with me. But since then he has been avoiding me and acting really cold.
Is this a Capricorn thing? Are they really that good at keeping all their emotions inside? or does he really not want to have anything to do with me? I keep thinking about this in my head over and over because i can't figure out what i did to make him act like he hates me.

I can't hazard a guess as to why he ended your relationship, but why he's ignoring you is easy. He's cutting you out so that he'll be able to move on with his life. For whatever reason, he's determined he has to move on...without you. He initially said he needed you in his life because he wanted you in his life. He doesn't hate you. He still does want you in his life. But his behavior tells me his wants ran into that brick wall of reality; he discovered that he couldn't keep you as a friend and get rid of his emotional attachment to you. Since he must (again, for whatever reason) move on without being attached to you, he has to get rid of you entirely. The need to focus on his work life as a reason to end a relationship does not strike me as all that odd, but I bet there's also something else there, too. You should ask him what it is and see where that takes you. And yes, no one has a better poker face than the goat.

That's exactly what i was told by a mutual friend of ours. That he has realized he can't be friends with me because he still has the emotional attachment. I guess i'm trying to figure out why he would just walk out of the relationship when nothing bad happened and we're both still in love with each other. and then change his mind about the friendship as well. You're right..the need to concentrate on work excuse can not be the only thing. I guess i'll never know what's going on in that complicated head of his :S

Remember that perception is relative; just because you don't perceive that anything bad happened doesn't mean that his perception is the same. And bad does not entail the same things for everyone. It could be as simple as he noticed that he was slipping at work because he was thinking about you too much! Now, that's complete conjecture contrived with the sole purpose of blatantly burnishing your ego (you're welcome:-), but it's also just as likely as anything else. You cannot force your way through the emotional wall a capricorn builds around himself; he must allow you in. Demonstrating your sincerity through your actions is a great place to start. Good luck!

Im cappy & I read something that ias true about this.
A cappy wants to keep in touch so they can keep track of your life story. Your life story is important to them. Dunno about other caps but Im just not very good at friendships. I always drift away, neglect rituals of staying in contact..sending cards etc etc. Im engrossed in my projects and seek my thrills there rather than in social interactions. I can be a bit of a hermit. I have a strict regimented routine and if you want contact you have to be part of that routine else your breaking my concentration :p
The best way to bond with a cappy is to become part of one of their projects or stimulate a project. They might have a routine of eating out somewhere etc so you gotta get in there. Cappies remember their exs and all their life story in a very passionate way they are big on history and their roots
