Do Caps have a taste for it? A pinch of bitterness in the relationship..not getting exactly what you want..a hint of masochism?

Hi WL. What makes you think so?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

Being left thirsty, not entirely satisfied, not getting all you need and hungry for more, even a little hurt, a little disrespected.

Am I more clear now?

Nah, none of that for me!

I think Caps do have this tenancy because you give them what they want and they get bored; you keep them hungry and they come back for more. I seem to have it to some extend too due to my Cap moon.

Well, my best friend is in a relationship with an Aries, and it seems she's figured the same thing because for the most part, her withdrawing everything from him and keeping him on a tight leesh(sp?) has him behaving more than ever.

Hes so weird though. Besides the fact the he respects her, shes good with money, responsible etc theres nothing that glues them together. Hes not "in love" with her and wasnt with his first wife. He thinks its okay to be in these type of relationships too. It just that these type of relationships make him want to throw in the towel when things get rough. Hes trying though. Im just pushing him to find what will make them both stick thru it all.

Sangfroid, I like your outlook! Makes perfect sense. I was think yesterday how I have the potential to put too much stock into people, which makes me put a lot on their shoulders. Love what you wrote...perfect timing for it.

Uhhh ... I think I know what you are trying to get at ... but I think it's more of they testing how far they can push the boundaries with their SO, and see if their SO deserves their respect (or someone that a Cap can walk all over).

Someone correct me please if I'm wrong.

If I can walk all over you and you give me everything I want when I want it, I won't respect you.

wait, but i thought caps didn't like games? but you're supposed to play hard to get? which is it?

It's not games. Just show a cap you respect yourself and he's not going to walk all over you or disrepect you. If we have to earn you, then you are more appreciated. That's all it is.

Okay, well, we will do what some call testing a little bit, but I don't see it that way. It's just to find out your boundaries and what you're really like. Goes along with your gaining our respect. Respect is very important to a capricorn and it goes both ways. We want you to respect us as well.

omg. thats it!

I wont say I play mind games, but playing with the heart or tugging at emotions is territory many Caps try to stay away from I honestly believe.

Perhaps it's the challenge to their problem solving skills they enjoy? Nothing like an intellectual debate to get the goats loins revved.
