I've got a great friendship with a Cap, scorpio moon, sag rising.

I'm Taurus, Libra Moon, Scorp rising....

We've been hanging out for a year. He became my friend, my feelings grew, we spoke about our connection but that he was having a hard time getting over his fiancee from 7 years ago!!! It didn't progress, though we became intimate a while back. Fuelled by hedonism of course. We've had further relations but we're not in a relationship. My friend refer to him as my boyfriend not boyfriend.

Our connection and the fact he doesn't leave me alone given he knows how I feel about him confuses me.

Many many times he sleeps over at mine, in my bed, fully clothed in a rigormortis state. I hug him. He never objects to me touching him. To clarify it's just hugging, not me wanting to get to grips with his special place...though I would if there was reciprocation....

Clearly he's emotionally unavailable. But the sleeping over feels odd.

It's almost as if he wants me in part (frequent communication, outings etc...) but isn't giving it to me.

He has a lot going on mentally...but why would you sleep in my bed on more than 10 occasions, allow someone to hold you, see them all the time but yet not want to pursue anything.

It just doesn't make sense......

Has anyone been in this predicament?

What the hell!

It’s a comfort to be near you I’d say. But, he is protecting himself from the emotions. He just can’t go there.
I agree - the Scorpio I dated never got over his wife who passed 7 years prior ... he was stiff too - and I don't mean down there
My Cap bf would get like this when he was protecting himself, but he would still want me to sleep next to him. If I kissed him, he would be shocked but then kiss me back. Thank god we got through why he felt he needed to protect himself!!!

I surely understand this when you lose someone - but at my age - I don't have time for that crap - if you are not ready to be out there, then don't ask me out and lead me on - I am not applying to be your miracle worker thank you very much

Lol. It was because he had fallen in love with me & circumstances were looking like we weren’t going to agree on where to live & I was being hesitant. So he felt like he was an idiot for continuing to walk this road with me, but he wanted it to be figured out. But didn’t want to force a choice on me either. Trauma! Breaking up & being apart made us figure it out 🤷‍♀️

well yeah that is understandable - especially since he was a Cap - like a deer caught in the headlights - just stands there and can't move - and/or doesn't move for fear of making the wrong move ... gotcha!

Exactly! So I commit to staying here with him & now he’s talking about somewhere different we would both like together. Umm decide together. Funny how that works.

No more stiff protecting himself! Omg the body language with these Caps!

lol - yeah - but you are a Cap Moon right ? so you know how that is - we can be an emotional wreck until we have something figured out that works for us - it affects us horribly I can attest

No cap Venus, but aqua moon. So I keep my feelings in til it’s safe. So have to admit I was VERY hesitant til I had things figured out too & wasn’t communicating very well either lol. He was ahead of me! So basically he had to wait til I was in the same page. Well I am Cap dominant too 😉





my son is dominant Leo fire with an aqua moon and gem mars - it does him well - if you have some Cap so you can relate for sure - lol - we can be a strange bunch - lol

Yeah we are both Cap Venus & Mercury & im also Cap Mars. He loves to travel & explore with me 🙂 and supports my Sag endeavors lol. He thinks it’s cool my writing and piano lessons etc. we actually operate in very similar ways except I’m optimistic & more spiritual. It’s actually a very good match.

Sounds selfish. Maybe the bigger question is why you’re putting up with it. I mean, am I missing something? You say you have a great friendship, but is it as one sided as your sleeping arrangements?
I guess I put up with it cos I like it. And as much as it'd be lovely to be hugged back and I know this is what I deserve, I chose to relocate as I wasn't prepared to wait for him. Not that he asked.

Our friendship isn't one sided though. He initiates hanging out a lot. Hence my confusion.

But now I've given him the space to sort himself out and I guess I'll have to wait to see how it pans out...

He's never been one for communicating his feelings though.

He does it cause you allow it.

There are many reasons why he might not want to fuck you. Doesn't want to ruin the friendship. Plays for the other team. Doesn't find you attractive or relationship material. Has a don't shit where you eat mentality. Etc. etc.

If it bothers you then stop inviting him into your bed and then crying about "so confused" later.

Sounds like you stuck in the friendzone hoping for more. Start dating other people. Unless your cool with giving him the next few years of your life while you wait around hoping.

UPDATE

We had a fall out. I asked him not to contact me because turns out he didn't see me that way...the mixed signal mind games had to end. I questioned my intuition about it all. Had I imagined him initiating contact time, sleeping in my bed, being in touch all-the-time as us possibly sliding into a relationship?! Yes. It appears I had when he affirmed that we were friends only.

I asked him to leave me alone, I couldn't handle being his illusional female companion without any of the hassle. And I was in love with him.

He left me alone. We met recently in a group dynamic, the connection is still strong (according to my head), and he didn't sleep in my bed when the party carried on back at mine. The boundaries had been recognised.

Cut to 3 weeks of incommunicado. I received the most horrendous message from him, which is very out of character, accussing me of being childish over a FB post that had nothing to do with him. Seems he's translated the message as me having a go at him. When I professed that I didn't understand, and that it wasn't about him, he ignored me. I then fought fire with fire (my mistake) telling him to get over it and how dare he send me paranoid nasty nonsense that I didn't deserve. He replied that he wanted me to not contact him because he was clearly such a c**t of a friend. I'm baffled.

One friend suggested he was feeling guilty over the way he treated me and is in fact deflecting it back to me to absolve the blame. Another said that when I asked him not to contact me he had lost the power I gave him when he was elevated in my affections. This is his way of getting it back, leaving me confused and on the back foot.

I AM so confused. He's either having a episode, or his mask has slipped. Was I right? He was playing me for his own self esteem issues? Despite his denials?

I understand I can't include the entire context of our interaction but now after weeks of not speaking, he's picking bones in something I said, believing it to be about him, when regardless of my affirmations that it isn't, he's choosing to ignore.

W the actual F?!

Is this a narcissist? Is he ill?
