He doesn't seem apathetic to me. At all.
He has a consuming job. He cares about his family. He contacts you every day. He doesn't see anyone else. What about that is apathetic?
I think you are just jealous that his energies are directed toward his family and career (which will ALWAYS come first). You might as well understand right now that they will always come before you and the more you're jealous of that, the more you're going to push him away.
I'd break up with you too, if you couldn't understand my career and family committments.
And you break up, get together, break up get together - that is not stability. Caps are not going to rush into an unstable relationship, so of course he's going to be slow. Because of that factor, it's going to take him even longer to get there, if ever.
You might as well slow your roll. You're not going to get anywhere with the attitude you're expressing here.

RockyRoadIcecream -- Can you think of a better username, or do you just like to name yourself after the junk food you obsess over when everyone else is out Saturday night and having a good time? Your arse must be the size of a house -- like your mouth. You are one judgmental woman. I bet you're lonely as hell -- anyone with any humanity would be scared to come near you.
Having questions in relationships and dealing with them is called (slowly, so you'll get it) having. a. life. Acting superior and judgmental means you are taking no risks in life, you're "in control", except you're not really, are you?, because you're so angry and unhappy that you have to dump your confused hateful attitude over a stranger who can't fight back. Coward.
If I gave you the exact precis (look it up) of our relationship, it would take too long. So I said "I broke up most of the time", which is a generalization.

RockyRoad,
You started it, bitch. You want to come out with your fists swinging when all I did was ask for advice?
Fuck you. Don't take the moral high ground with me.

The Chinese culture puts BIG emphasis on family. It's custom that we have to both pay respect to our elders (like gifts and pay for friends and family) AND take care of the children. This is especially the case if it's a Chinese guy. I've known many who had to buy a big house because they had to house both their parents and their children. I have not known any Chinese grandparents go into retire homes. So each day he has to work, take care of his children AND his mother. How would he have any energy to do much of anything else?

I think this has a lot do with cultural gap.
With western culture, I find that once becoming adult, north americans tend to want to move out and live separate from parents most of the time. Once parents retire, they probably go into retire homes. For Chinese, it's like this (especially for generations before mine)... first your parents take care of you until you have a good career and then you take care of your parents (and children once you have them). If you have siblings, then amongst the siblings, the one lives the closest to the parents usually are expected to take care of them.

Why can't we all just hug this out? Life's too short not to hug, sip liquor, & maybe hash it out with some birthday suit twister!

I like Scorps in general. I really do. But from my observations, once a Scorp is convinced, it can become really hard to convince them otherwise, IMO. Not because they aren't open to alternatives but that they are likely to believe that further interaction with those people are a waste of time and effort for the Scorp. In other words, it appears that they are likely to see the fault on others before they see it on themselves, IMO.

he is:
good for her ego if she gets him
bad for her ego if she doesn't

she'll listen to truecap and rocky's advice, she's only here to compare notes...any anger/offense is a smoke screen

Update to all the dried-up, bitter, old-before-their-time hags who attacked me after I asked for advice:
My Cap man just told me he loves me and wants to make a commitment to me.
Scorpgirl
Proud mother of two
Proud girlfriend to the elusive Asian engineer Cap
Master's Degree
Successful musician, published author, and life coach
Proud survivor of losing a mother when I was 8 years old, and all the other rotten things that seem to happen to Scorps -- I survived, overcame, and am thriving.
My advice to women who forgot how to be feminine: get yourself a man, and some kids, and get laid once in a while. I'm sorry your life isn't working. Mine is.
I'm sorry you're so angry and bitter that you have to attack me. I'm praying for you.

I'm wondering if she took any of our advice and if that's why it worked out. She'd never admit it if she did. *shrugs*
Oh, well, happy for ya scorp.
Here's to a blissful relationship. Cheers!

Well, only about 4-5 caps commented on the thread, so realize there are other signs that posted. Not sure which users you're calling "cold". The capricorns who posted weren't cold in thier comments.
Caps aren't cold, we're just realist who take the emotional mumbo jumbo out of the equation and give direct, honest answers.
With all due respect truecap I do believe Caps have a strong tendency to be cold and apathetic which is necessary at times however as a watery woman I prefer a more compassionate approach to communication. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this.click to expand

Bad advice because what will likely happen is like what happened to one of my friend, who ended up having to raise a baby alone.click to expand

...said she in the coldest sentences uttered on the cap board since I don't know when. And the way you try to manipulate your words into sounding educated and agreeable doesn't make it any better. In the future, you might want to try a more compassionate approach to communication.
piss off with your policing tactics, how's that for compassionate communication!click to expand

You can always choose not to come to the Cap Board. *shrugs*
But, if you want a logical, rational, brutally honest answer post your question on the Cap board. If you want soft, touchy feely people telling you what you want to hear, take it to another board.
And you wonder why ya'll get labelled cold...

Hello -- Scorpgirl here.
Cappie and I have been dating for about a year now, with a number of breakups initiated always by me.
We have the usual Cap/Scorp attraction and sex is like taking a ride to the planet Saturn and beyond -- out of this world; it mystifies both of us.
I am a bohemian artist (Master's in Music); he is an uptight Chinese engineer. This could be part of the problem.
As a classic Cap, work is first on his list and it consumes him, then there is his elderly mother, then his two daughters. He'll never get over being the only divorced person in his family -- the "losing face" thing is double for him being chinese AND a Cap. (Being Jewish and a Scorp, I could give a shit what people think...)
He will text me just about every day, and I know he is not seeing anyone else. He just never wants to do anything exciting, and he can go for weeks without seeing me. This is why we break up. Our last break up lasted for 2 months, then my psychic perception told me he was calling me -- I unblocked him and he hd called me five times on Christmas day.
We are both in our 40s, divorced. I know this is pathetic -- why can't two people with children get this fixed.
He is THE most stubborn person I know. How can I get his slow ass to hurry up? I just don't see the point of this relationship, but he will not let go.
