Hello am new to this forum and kinda feel like my user name over this Capricorn man am currently involved with.I recently ended a long term relationship and don't need any drama/heartache if things don't work out( would prefer staying single). To cut a long story short, I am involved with a cap male for the past 8 months. He is younger than me (don't know if that is a factor)Things started out great, he had been through a lot of turmoil in his past and so had I and emotionally he has been the most sensitive guy I have met.We would talk a lot over issues ranging from anything and everything under the sun and since my ex hardly cared to listen to anything I ever said (which was one reason my relationship ended) I was thrilled to be with my cap.Then I got attached to him and things are like crazy now.He is emotionally involved as well (according to him)and everyday we have so much drama it drives me crazy. Simply put he blows hot and then cold.If I act calm, he feels I don't care enough for him and am not into him and if I get equally angry and emotional we fight like kids which is silly.I am someone who is old enough to control my emotions and end of it all it makes me feel exhausted.Sometimes the fights are over the silliest reasons (some random guy I knew ages ago who is just a friend)He is extremely possessive and wants to know every single thing I do or think about and will go berserk over small reasons.I feel he is controlling to a large extent but that is what he says guys do over women they care about.I don't think he has to go nuts over some random guy I talk to.If I point it out he says fine go date anyone you want. When we fight, he usually wont make the first move to reconcile or call and I am the one doing it and then its always my fault the reason the fight happened.After reading a lot of posts on here I feel am not alone with the way these guys are.We are on a break now ( he says he needs time to think about us and chill with friends) and I haven't called him. I don't want to either.Should I wait or just end the relationship before I get even more involved?
Well, caps run hot and cold. It's our nature. Maybe you could analyze the events that took place before he runs hot. Then analyze the events that occurred before he ran cold. You might notice some trends. Recognizing those trends might make you feel better. I'm wondering if he has deep feelings for you and is feeling a little insecure. Especially if you are friendly with other guys platonically. This might be the hot/cold trigger. From another angle, if we say too much/feel vulnerable/feel exposed, we are likely to withdraw a little, which causes us to run cold sometimes. Trend this out too. I suppose what I'm saying is if you can recognize a trend, then you won't be surprised and will be able to understand it, then you won't take it personally.
We feel like we have to have control. Its in our nature, too. It doesn't necessarily mean we want to control you, but we want control in a situation. There's a difference. It's not really to change the situation, but to be able to control ourselves really. Its hard to explain. I hope that makes sense.
Disclaimer: I said we/us, but I can't speak for all caps. We're all different.
