I'm a Leo lady in my 40's and the Cap man is 60. We run in the same social circles; that's how we met. I made all the big mistakes right from the beginning such as telling him too much too soon about my very private life and telling him that I'm very attracted to him. It was a mutual sexual attraction from the start. He's made a number of indecent proposals to me such as getting into the backseat of his vehicle so he could bang my brains out and show up at a construction job site so he can have his way with me. He didn't even offer to take me out for a meal or drink first. I realized immediately that he thinks I'm some desperate hoe so I slowed down to a crawl. I kept our relationship platonic from the start even though he keeps suggesting that we become lovers. It's been 2 years now that I've managed to remain platonic with him. The reason I didn't get into bed with him is because I don't trust his intentions and his feelings for me. He's chased and chasing other women infront of me while trying to get me into bed. He's a real tactless, miserly man and finally treated me to a KFC meal one night after a social meetup. I feel like a doormat; he's always talking about himself, his work, his drama and politics and not really interested in what's going on with me. I recently scolded him for asking another woman out infront of me and next day had the nerve to flirt with me. He apologized for being inconsiderate and rude but then the next day he was back to his old ways of asking out other women infront of me. He's taken it even further by deliberately clinging to any one of my girlfriends and chatting her up and texting her. He slipped up recently by letting it slip out that he was just talking/flirting with a random woman to give me and other women something to talk about. So basically he's being passive aggressive, playing mind games with me; he enjoys toying with my emotions far too much and far too long. I've been weighing the pros and cons of remaining friends with him. The cons far outweigh the pros so I want to end our friendship without warfare since we have many mutual friends. He's shared other women's private business with me even though they told him in confidence. I've told him that he's not to share my private business with others but I expect that there will be need for some damage control once I end our friendship since he is cruel, petty and spiteful. I need your help/advice in regaining my sanity.
How to survive the wrath of a Capricorn Man?

Are you dating or just friends?
If you're dating, then his behavior is unacceptable. If you're just friends, then he can ask out whomever he wants.
All in all, he sounds like a real womanizer, though.

If it is just friends and you want to end the friendship, just do a slow fade. I know that's not the best advice, but with someone like him, it might be more beneficial to just slowly drift apart. You can always have a heart to heart with him, but i have a feeling he's not one that is going to be understanding and it would deflate his ego, thus leading to anger and spilling all your secrets.
I agree, slow fade.

The way I see it:
You liked him, was feeling him and told him. (Perfectly fine)
Then you withdrew yourself and made yourself look like a liar and insecure(No good)
So as a result, he will continue to look for someone in front or behind your back because you are only friends.
He is purposely gonna make you suffer for playing with his feelings(even though you believe you didn't).
He will also never take you serious because of that incident. I am sorry for the loss. Learn,grow and let go from mistakes.
Now, the only way he would leave you alone is if you stand up for yourself in a classy proper way. Since you messed up in the beginning, now you must be real and state what you accept and don't accept from the friendship.

Truecap, thank you for your advice. It felt like he was dating me while we were among mutual friends. He would get territorial and actually intercept and block any other guys who'd try to talk to me. He'd seclude me from the rest of the social group and monopolize my time. All of our friends think that we're a couple even though we both tell them that we aren't. He has both good and bad traits and even though the bad outweigh the good right now; I still like him but I know that we are not a match and I need to break free and move on. Like SureFireCap said, he's gonna deliberately make me suffer. Actually he's been at that for a long while now, being very passive aggressive and threatening. I know that a heart to heart won't work with this man because he's a loose canon and a control freak. I've never done a fade out but will look into that. Thanks again Truecap.

Just be sweet and nice, be friend toward him...but slowly fade or drift. It will take time to do it proper.

*friendly*
Dang it, I can't type lately.

Posted by SureShotCapI withdrew myself once he started treating me like a desperate hoe. i mistook him for a gentleman and expected to be treated like lady.

You're right, I'm just a friend so he can look for women infront or behind my back. I've discussed with him numerous times re: what I will accept and not accept from the friendship and he seemed to always agree. He's been deliberately making me suffer fo a long time now and now you've shed light on why it's happening. I wasn't trying to play with his feelings; I still like him and am still sexually attracted to him and he knows that.
I know that it is futile to try a start over of this relationship so I must let go and move on but that's the problem since he's a big control freak and has made some concealed threats. I want out but without warfare.
Thats some crazy stuff from a 60 year old man. I heard a lot of nonsense but 60 and acting like this if unheard of. Don't ever get with him he's a real jerk!!!

You obviously like the attention and his behavior didn't run you off. This means you like it so why even create this thread? The man blatantly disrespected you and pretty much said you are a fuck toy and yet, you keep hanging around. Just admit that you don't mind being treated like a piece of ass and fuck him already.
I'll be waiting for the "he fucked me and dumped me" thread. See ya in a few weeks
