...when it's over with a person, platonically or romantically, but they keep showing up/sticking around?

I especially have a hard time downgrading someone from romantic interest to "friends," if we had something and for whatever reason, it fell apart. I'm trying it for the first time, and it's just making me moody. I'm fine after a day, then be really great after a few days of silence... then wham! If he shows back up, I get all moody again.

It's a sign I should probably cut it off at the head (like I always do), but it feels weird this time for some reason. Idk. Or God forbid an ex pops up outta the woodwork from days gone by. It's like... blargh! I banished you; you aren't allowed to come back. Anybody else get that way? Or is it just me and some inner drama hahaha?

I do that. Yes. Unless it's been YEARS since I saw them and I see them somewhere.

Never could be friendly with an ex.
Me either! And I'm not sure why I'm doing it this time... it's a failed experiment to say the least.

I'm wondering why that is about Leos. Is it a pride thing? A done and dusted mindset?

Other signs feel free to chime in too if you can't be friends post-whatever.

👋 Hiya silly!
Well this is just based on my experiences so I understand if I'm completely off track on this-
If you give it a couple of months I'm pretty sure you'll feel okay... It's hard, but push through it now and you'll be back in control of your emotions AND you'll have more clarity about the situation as well. The friendship will smoothen out.
It just requires time. Meanwhile if things are awkward of you feel uncomfortable when he pops up, take space.
You're allowed lol
May I ask tho, why you are attempting this if you haven't before? What's different about this ex :-)

Hola! 🙂 I guess maybe because this one ended amicably? Or rather, it was easier to walk away and not feel badly? And I don't want to be everyday friends; I don't think he wants that either. But the ability to still talk to each other and bounce ideas of each other -- that's kinda nice to think about. But at the moment, it just kind of feels weird and like I'm not moving forward or, like, if by having him around the Universe will not let me move forward (how's that for crackpot thoughts x_x). He'll text or write me an email with some benign comment or question or send me some sort of news article, whatever, and it's just like.... idk. Maybe it's more my Sag moon freaking than anything.

I cant be friends w/ my ex's especially immediately after & if I was emotionally invested. . Leo moon here.

If it's a situation where my emotions weren't as involved (aka I friendzoned said person) than obviously it'd be easier to remain friends with them for me, probably not them.
Yeah, I think that level of emotional attachment is probably really important, and it sucks, because I only get involved with people I get it bad for hahaha

Honestly? I think you're right about that.
I for one believe the Universe aligns with what we create as well. And holding on to old patterns of behaviour that do us no good can frustrate us and block what the cosmos has in store #fellowcrackpot
BUT. There's nothing wrong with staying connected to a positive relationship and giving it an opportunity to develop into something platonic and meaningful. Even if it's just a light acquaintanceship
Just take it slow. And reassure you're Saggybitz (I has SagMars and it's a freedom fighter) just reassure you can walk away or fly away anytime- I just choose not to. But I could...but I don't....buuuuut I could. but I don't.

It'll pan out for you. You may not even recognise his face in 6months. But for now it's fine right?

For me, it doesn't really matter why. If I wasn't all that emotionally invested, then it's a done and dusted kind of thing. Tried it, didn't like it, didn't like him, no reason to be friendly.

I don't usually get into relationships with friends, so if I'm not that into a guy romantically then there's gonna not be any friendship. Or, if I liked him fine enough but there was no spark when we tried something, I have no issue with continuing a friendship because I wasn't that invested (like in a "I want to own you" kind of way).

If it was a relationship where I bared my soul to him and was in it for the long haul and he ultimately rejected me, then I can't make myself vulnerable to him again. A friendship would leave too many cracks in my armour to be able to really be close but not *that* close. All or nothing in those situations.

I think though, in my current relationship, I could be very close friends with Mr Aqua if something were ever happen to our relationship. He feels like the part of me that I need, and I think it's mutual. So if we were ever to lose our "thing", he would still be a part of my life, I'm positive (unless he couldn't).

So glad to have a fellow #crackpot -- my friends make fun of me, but it's totally the only way to live.

Haha, I love that you said Saggybitz! Yeah, I used to really live by the idea that I needed to have my eye on the door at all times. Sometimes even a toe in it. I'm trying not to do that anymore -- I think that's why I'm trying to stay friends with him? Mars in Retrograde has me all pensive and thinking and planning and dreaming about karmic growth and self-betterment. I am soooooooooo ready for it to be over x_x

And nothing wrong with toes in doors lol
Depending on your past relationship experiences it might be a defense mechanism and we all have those...
If Mars Retro got you thinking and rethinking your Life then it's a personal journey and you'll be fine I just know it 🙂

Nope. I can go straight to being friends. I have zero issues with that.
Really? I'm fascinated by this because we have the same sun/moon. May I ask what house your Sun/Moon is in? I'm 1st and 5th, respectively, and I'm wondering the ego gets in the way of the relationships.

Same as you with the houses. It's not ego. I would rather have the loved ones in my life than to lose them totally. It's always them that say they can't be friends. It sucks

DUDE my ex is a Cap too!!!
Scorp moon tho @_@ we went thru exactly what you're going thru now.
So trust meh, it's all good. *caps are the bomdiggitty*
Omg I dunno. This new one I'm trying to talk to is quite literally making me want to hurl myself into the sun. Cap Sun/Cap Moon. Like, I made a post a few days ago, getting super excited because after three months, he talked to me about something that wasn't work. I have seen him exactly once. WE MADE OUT EXACTLY ONCE. He said, "Oh my God, I'm so into you and this and blah blah blah." And now? I can't even get him to come have a drink with me; he says we will... but we won't. I know that. BUT I GOT SUPER EXCITED because he talked to me about candles. It's like, who am I? I look in the mirror, and I just feel like I need a good slap from Tyra Banks,

In keeping with your point, though, my ex was a Sag/Cap cusp... I think that's why it was so easy? He had that stability I craved, but all that fun. God, we had fun. We could talk until we were blue in the face. Idk. I kind of hope it works out. I think? Maybe?

Also, did I ever tell you how much I love Australia? I think I did, but if I didn't: best country I've ever visited.

Maybe you're being each other's security blankets because you're

scared to let go of an otherwise good alliance.

That's my take.... and it's hard to fly solo, at first, sometimes--

for me, anyway (unless you really pissed me off, but even then...)

I call my Virgo-Leo moon ex, once a month-- he texts me on

holidays and mocks my Southern upbringing

'How's yer mom n' them?'

It took about a year for us to get there, but it'll happen if you

both want it to.

Imo.

What's his sign?

Sun-moon, pleeze.

Aww, I'm from the South too. DIXIE FOREVER. RTR.

He's a Cap Sun/Libra Moon, but he's really close to the Sag/Cap cusp. I don't know what we want? I think he wants to be friends. I don't know if I do. I feels weird. I mean, we were friends before, so it does feel weird to sort of shut it down. Idk. I'm probably just being a giant baby haha.

Ohh... I thought he was also LEO-Sag. 😕

I must have read wrong :/

Yeah, it's just weird to go back to friends when you've

been a whole lot more.

I should probably add that my ex moved to the northernmost,

westernmost part of the country, and I'm in Florida-- it made

things much simpler.

Heh

I be friends with my exes who been 'long-lost' after more than 5 yrs. Usually they reach me & offer the friendship which I was okay with, no anxiety lol, coz we're far have moved on with life...got work, got engaged, got married & have children. But to be friends back with my recent ex, I would say no...I never done that & I dont even want to be. Or maybe can, just after 10 or more years‚

“Being honest about how we really feel and dealing with those feelings effectively is the work of a healthy Mars, not suppressing or denying how we feel…”

Well, at least I've been doing it right! Or trying to anyway (x_X)
