I just got to share this message to all especially Capricorn.

"One of the worst things that can happen to a person Is being dumped. By "dumped' I mean when you're dating someone or in a relationship with them and then all of a sudden, they decide that they don't want to see you anymore. It hurts to be rejected and often, it makes you wonder what you did wrong.

You might even begin to think that there's something unattractive or undesirable about you. Being dumped can bring up a lot of self-doubt. You could start thinking that you're too fat, or too scrawny; that you talk too much or you're too quiet; that you're not enough fun; or that you're not serious enough.

All of these things are possible, but more than likely, the reasons that you were dumped were about the other person and not you.

There's a big difference as to when things aren't going well with a couple, it's not such a big surprise when one person finally decides to quit. It might be disappointing (or perhaps huge relief) but it's not a shock.

When someone you've been seeing suddenly ends things, however, you have to know that often the breakup is really about them. It's most likely the results of thoughts rumbling around in their mind for a while.

You don't necessarily have to blame yourself for a relationship going sour, from understanding the mechanisms behind the sudden end.

Of course, you need to pay attention and ask yourself, if indeed, there might have been something that you were doing that could have precipitated a breakup.

"overly demanding, too clingy, extremely touchy, or unreasonable" All these behaviours could have alienated the other person.

After a breakup, it's worth examining your actions so that you can learn from your mistakes and do better the next time.

So why would someone suddenly pull the plug on what seemed to be going well? Possibly, they have fears of intimacy or maybe they don't want to be "tied down". Or simply, they could be seeing you as too smart, too competent or capable for them. (untold reason and expectations that a lot of times never been communicated)

If you would want to survive from being dumped, you need to stop beating yourself up. Learn from your mistakes if you lead the break up, or see that the person who dumped you has done you a favour when you did no wrong.

If they are unable to be with someone as great as you, you would have quickly discovered that they weren't someone you'd want to waste your time, either.

-credit to psychiatrist Dr.Marcia- All I did is just get it so summarized. Hope it helps.

No, I do not think so unless things happen. Probably very insensitive towards others, but we do expect good communication from others.

>.


When he doesn't communicate things with me, i shut down at one moment because its like he is not sharing enough.

I don't want to shut down but i get the feeling that things comes just from my side.

Its like a puch and pull relationship....

How did it start with?

He used to share things with you and then he has been reserved lately or ...?


You feel shutdown is because you feel he has no interest to share things, isn't it? Oh well, I know cancer girl likes to share a lot to other people, her selfiess goodness..

But for Cap, there could be things that he finds hard to communicate, afraid of judgement from others? It takes time for him to open the barrier and be comfortable with you thou, but he would not share everything for that he still has fear of you judging him.

Low esteem, yet want you to be proud of him and everything about him, so he would share if he is proud of it. But for you to find his deep secret, you need more effort, touch his heart, if you could do that till he shows his vulnerable side, releasing his tears and emotion in front of you, he will be transparent to you.

but would you mind if he wants to know everything about you? If no, then probably he would open up to you easily.

Let us say he used to share more.
And i'm not the selfies kind of cancer :-) i don't do selfies, it's silly. I do not cry nor wine either :-)
It all started with kind of an argument concerning money. He tells me to spend all my savings and buy things that i want to and would make me happy ( including his new teeth :-)).
I told him i want to keep some money on the side for the future, when i am in need off money, when something happens to me and i urgently need a new car or have to be hospitalised. He doesn't understand that. Maybe he will not get his new teeth because of my desition?
Since than, i feel ( could be wrong ) a change in him. It's like i don't matter that much to him anymore.
If that would be the case...then he would only said to live together because of my money....That i am not useful for him anymore...And that thought scares me.

Not sure if I am able to help. The thought is killing you slowly and yes I know you can't help it unless you are clear about it.

For you to find out and for me to wait for your update.

I guess you have been talking with him about how wise it is to keep some savings. Try telling him about the thought that scares you. (then you can see his reaction that probably give you clue if he is wanting your money only)

Odd is normally Caps are more a saver than a spender. Probably the other Caps ( I just got to know one who gave me impression that she is gonna die young, thus spend all money by age of 30-40), perhaps he belongs to this Caps. I do not why he convincing you to spend all your money, you would be at a better position to know this.

One thing is how he feels about the new teeth? Is it a want or a need? He would want his love to spend on what he needs, as a sign of love. This could be why of the sudden change.

Money is not the only thing a Cap could focus tho. But be careful don't get used, and loses all your monies. Some caps would rather have a richer partner.

That's all I could tell. Cheers 🙂

@Capricorn180189_G S

He is being weird, his actions are weird. He is distant and i can't stand distant when i am sensing that something is wrong. So yesterdayevening he wanted to give me a " plastic" kiss goodnight and i asked him in a kind and soft way " what is wrong with you?"
He exploded...responded by saying " what did i do wrong now?" I responded calmly by saying " you don't have to be agressive. It's a simple question"
He said " nothing is wrong " ( with a angry voice)
This morning he was up first. I got up too and said " goodmorning" in a nice way. He responded in a nice way too.
Kissed me goodbye to go off to work ( not plastic kisses though but a real kiss) and took off.

He's avoiding confrontation about last night, about problems/issues and i am not that kind of person. I like to talk about that things and try to come to a sollution.

"""He would want his love to spend on what he needs, as a sign of love. This could be why of the sudden change."""

Love shouldn't be something you can buy....it shouldn't depend on money...
When i give/buy something for him , it's because i want to. When someone askes me money or ask if i want to buy somethings that is something else....
He doesn't have money problems but his teeth cost a very amount off money that he doesn't have. I suggested he saved up and fix his teeth in steps...

He can be a penny pincher for other things.
Like we have a dishwasher but i can't use it because it costs to much. He always said " it's more pleasant to do the dishes together by hand".
But who does the dishes? Not him anyway...
He is not being consistent in his thoughts ( don't know how to say this in english). Like i said before, he constantly changes things he said, he would do.

Oh well, we will see what happens.
One things for sure. His and my guards are down....
