The Cat and the Cap

Long story short. From my standpoint it's been a complicated, passionate, and arduous friendship between myself (leo) and him (cap). Perhaps it was the challenge, time in life, my loyalty, or all three that has fueled the fire within me to stick it out. Whatever the case, I'm now to a point where I am strongly considering parting ways but for reasons that I don't understand I'm having difficulty doing so. We are a lot alike with regards to weaknesses and similar enough to enjoy each other??s company, sometimes sharing the same thoughts or finishing each other??s sentences. We have stopped being intimate to preserve our friendship and after a tumultuous 2 ?_ years I feel we have finally reached a place of respect and comfort. We discuss his career and dreams plenty. When self-doubt arises, I lift him up. On the flip side, I can't say he does much for me in terms of support other than makes me feel good when I'm around him. Yesterday, I had researched an investment group and wanted to share with him information I had gathered. I felt it would be useful concerning his goals. He called to see if I could go over to his house, but I had things to do and instead of being —available?? I chose this time to put myself first. He seemed surprised by either my unavailability or that I had gone as far as I had in supporting his dream. While relaying what I had found, it dawned on me that what I was doing went beyond what a friend might do and more something a girlfriend or wife should do. I became distracted by this thought and began to fumble my words and blamed it on multi-tasking. In any case he didn't want to talk much after and asked that should I be free, to call him tomorrow. I don't know what is happening but I??ve been feeling that I need to branch out and do my own thing. I think I??ve been so focused on him that I started to neglect my own wishes and now I??ve found the room and need to do so. I shot a text before bed apologizing for being overzealous and that I hoped I hadn't stepped on his toes. He replied —It's cool??. Do you think I overstep my boundaries? It took what seems like forever to get where we are at and if I have caused us to regress (i.e. make him feel that I'm closing in on him) then I really rather just part ways. I will always care for him, but I weather a lot of bs from him. Examples include, unwarranted rejection (he likes to remind me that he feels nothing romantically without any proclamations made by me

to give him that impression), controlling behavior (he dictates when we talk, see each other, in the past when we slept together to the point where if I called him or texted first I wouldn't hear from him at all that day, but if no attempt made by me, he??d most assuredly would call every day), unreasonable expectations (there is no way I will be miss perfect both physically in inwardly), and so forth. How funny, I'm venting. Ha! I need to just pull back to where he doesn't really notice and go my own way. It happens. I will always feel slightly irritated that he enjoyed rubbing in my face that he didn't feel the same way I felt about him. I can look forward to not hearing about how women want him, the dates he went on, etc. This will be tolerable, after all it was many years ago that he chased and I was uninterested. I used to think if upon meeting someone you felt nothing, then you never would, but he proved me wrong. I'm finished trying to psycho analyze this goat. I learned so much. Leo and Caps are said to not be compatible unless otherwise business partners. I can see this now. Leo??s need room to roam and feel a very strong purpose in this life. Both share this prudent similarity. I feel they can become the best and have more to offer if they avoid joining forces. I know for some it works and I imagine that to be a powerful and extraordinary coupling to be reckoned with. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. I don't know how much truth there is to astrology and know very little, but I can attest to the fact that regardless of platonic or romantic, a relationship with a Capricorn is a treasure to be had. The quirks at first appear foolish and unnecessary, but after a while I garnered much respect for the method to their madness.
