I always made up assumptions about why my Capricorn friend rarely showed his emotion towards me. Part of my assumptions were correct but I just recently found out some new reason why he holds back his emotion from me. I'm a very discreet person and I have been overly discreet with my capricorn friend mainly because of our situation. We are only FWB and we don’t have no commitment to each. We really care about each other and we enjoy our intimacy together. We have been friends off and on for years now so we pretty much been through a lot of different stages in a relationship. Throughout our long stint he has been in love with me, love me, fwb, just friends, wanted a committed relationship and wasn't available for a relationship. You name it, we have been through it! Our physical attraction for one another has always been there but sometimes I feel he holding back emotionally from me. There have been times when he’s start becoming emotional attach to me and he suddenly pulls back. Just recently I have experience this kind of episode from him. He withdrew from all communication with me for over 3 weeks. Normally its only be 2 to 5 days so I was kind of confuse and very upset!!! He rejected my phones calls and ignore all of my texts as if I done something to him. I started sending him long texts stating I know how you feel about me and why are you treating me like this. Everything seem so perfect and he need to relax and stop being apprehensive with me. I told him I really need to talk to him and he said there's nothing to talk about. Anyway he called me from work 1 hour later and told me why he was upset. I won't reveal why with you guys because that’s my personal business. What he revealed I did to him would have been a deal breaker with 80% of men. Its was a mistake on my behalf and I had no idea until he told me. He also expressed things he hasn't expressed to me before. He said he’s been dealing with me for years now and he barely knew anything about me! He said he spent a lot of time with me and he only know a couple things about me and I know a lot about him. He expressed everything he didn't know about me and this list was long and I was puzzled!!! He said there's a different side to him that he’s been holding back from me and if he knew more about me things would be different. MY QUESTION IS THERE ANYWAY AT GETTING AROUND THIS BEHAVIOR IF I REMAIN DISCREET!!!
Will a Cap man feel slighted if u wont reveal your personal life with him!

Maybe tell him what he wants to know?
He always wants reassurance on how I feel about him and I’m 100% honest in that area. From time to time he also ask me what do I really want out of our relationship and he ask me to be honest and just tell him what I really want! I’m never honest about what I really want because that’s a catch 22 question with me. When he ask me that it sometimes seem like he will try to accommodate what I want but I feel based on his situation he can’t so I say the safest thing possible. Im sure he knows I love him but he’s suspicious because I never told him where I live and I never invited him over. He found out where i live because one day he said my address to me but I told him that's not my address. From lack of him not knowing my where abouts it leaving him a little confused.

Posted by faith $ golphinIf you can't be honest with him about everything, then don't even bother trying to have more of a relationship with him. That's why you're in the FWB zone and that's where you will stay.

I have be honest with him about my feelings and emotions but its like he want constant validation. He sometimes reveal his love for me but is not nothing compared to what he wants in return. I will start being honest with him about everything. I told him already I don't invite him over my house because we're not in committed relationship and I have a son that lives with me.
I've been indecisive about what I really want from him because sometimes I really want to be in a committed relationship with him and then other times I like it the way that it is. With a relationship it becomes responsibilities that I don't think I will be able to own up to on my behalf. I also don't think he will be able to own up to my standards of him being my man. To me once a cheater always a cheater. His current girlfriend more than likely was once his sidechick. So if I have a chance to reverse my role right now what will happen to me— I know this side of the fence right now and our attraction is so dam addictive. The only reason I will want a committed relationship it's so that I can be with him more. I already witness the years and time he’s capable of putting in with his sidechick
Cheeky faerie u are funny as crap. When I meet him years ago he was just getting out of a long term relationship and so was I. He wasn't in a committed relationship with this new girlfriend now, at that time. Apparently she was around at the final stages of his old realtionship maybe 6months to 1 year b4 me but im not exactly sure. He wanted me but I wasnt ready mentally to jump back in another relationship and be fully consume at that time. So we started dating and seeing each other. I was the one that didnt want a committment with him right away even though we fell in love with each other. My last man was still taking care of me financially at that time because he had false hopes of us getting back together. That went on for close to 18 months.
By me not ready to make a commitment he eventually started giving in to her and having a commitment with her but we was always seeing each other throughout. I was always hesitant about a relatuonship with him because I need love and stability and at 1st I didn't see the stability with him although he had potential.
I'm slightly older than this Capricorn man and that's my first time really being involved emotionally with someone younger than me. I was hesitant at first because I really loved him but I need love and stability. And at first I didn't think he could provide stability for me but I knew he had potential. He turned out to be everything I want in a man but I need to be able to trust him also. If we can break that barrier everything would be perfect enough for me to try!
