I only have experience with one, but I see a pattern with his behavior. When he feels like his own life is out of control and he gets stressed, he distances himself. He’s disappeared a few times and we broke up once.

Even when I was going through something difficult (my mom having another stroke), he thought it would help if we took some time apart and I just focus on her and my kids. I felt hurt because he was there for me, then telling me he wouldn’t be. I couldn’t understand his logic at all.

It seemed really odd to me that you wouldn’t lean on the person you love and vice versa, because life is always going to be hard at times. I look at it like we should be each other’s rock, and he gets overwhelmed I think and needs to focus on whatever big life issues he’s having. And maybe feels like if he can’t give it 100 percent he sees space as a better way to go.

My Cap sister is like this too. So I don’t think he doesn’t care about you, maybe he feels like he can’t he fully be there for you due to whatever he’s going through. So he winds up pushing you away.

I feel like Caps have a tendency to struggle with feeling completely vulnerable. Good luck with everything.

You both need to work on your communication. You need to find a way to express what you need of him without escalating it into a fight. And he needs to learn how to communicate with you instead of running away and burying his problems in alcohol.

Both of you need to compromise if this has a chance of working. You need to become more independent emotionally and he needs to give you more attention and affection.

Just remember that nothing worth having comes easily.
