So it is said that if a Cancer Man has a bad relationship with his mother his relationship with women will be bad. I am wondering if this is also true of Capricorn being their opposite. For example my crush says he only talks to his mom a handful of times out of the year which surprised me because they don't live very far from each other. He also isn't really close to his father he only really talks with him because he moon lights for him sometimes. He also said his parents although married for 40 plus years hate each other and watching them argue makes him more reserved with pursuing relationships because he doesn't like conflict. This is really sad because I can see a lot of love waiting to be shared under the surface there.

Have any of you let the parental relationships ,or other relationship surrounding you, effect your own relationships? Or has it kept you from pursing anyone?

I'm not a Capricorn... But I believe that there relationship with their father...is more important...cause the sign of Capricorn seeks approval from the father the way that cancer seeks acceptance from the mother....

That make sense considering he feels obligated to help his father out even though they are not close. I just want to give him a big big hug. *sigh*

Not a Cap either,but a Pisces. My ex Capy friend used to go see his mother and his stepfather quiet a bit just so they knew he was there for them. He used to tell me that his mother was very brutal and would really take her anger out on him as a child. He also told me he learned how to treat woman through his father, who was a raging alcoholic and cop, and one time his father handcuffed his mother to the table for talking too much. So yes his relationship with his parents really hurt his relationships with other women, he was in a 23 year marriage that HE SAYS wasn't that great.

What I would think is most important in a situation like this (both as a Cap man and a guy who had a troubled relationship with his father) is not sun signs but, your boyfriends interest and availability to discuss this with you. If he only mentioned that things weren't great or never talked about how he felt about things being the way they are, then I would be concerned. However, someone discussing those things indicates a few important and positive things: 1) he is self-reflective which means he is aware of the problem and how it affects him (and possibly your relationship) which is the first step to finding a solution or better space, 2) He is comfortable enough to let you in to that part of his life, 3) he believes your relationship is stable enough to expose you to some of the external difficulties he is facing and, 4) he trust you enough to show you ways in which he is vulnerable. To me, this means that you (and your relationship) likely mean a lot to him. In terms of him being reserved and holding back, according to astrology, that's just the way we operate. But I would add that, while we are considered the slowest blooming flower in the zodiac, the wait is ALWAYS worth it!

Just my 2 cents

Thanks he is not my boyfriend 😢 I wish he was. We have never even hung out outside work. I know even with a Taurus moon he would be slower to make a move but I really feel like he just sees me as a friend it's very hard to tell but I am glad I can be there for him I just have to learn to separate my emotions and be his friend
