Do Leo men ever admit to being wrong?

Need help!
Gemini here, signed up just to ask some advice as I've been got some good insight on here before. About a little over a year ago, me and this Leo guy have started one of the best friendships ever, very relaxed had lots in common, and both become each other's best friends. Eventually we fell in love, it was going great until his ex started to get in the way. I expressed my concerns, but never made any demands to cut her off, just to get some boundaries. We had first 'fight' over it, and me being the Air sign that I am, I like to talk things out, Leos, not so much. He finally realized where I was coming from, understood my frustration, apologized and said he needed to chill for a sec, which I never had any problems giving him just that. We stopped talking only for a day, he came back around and all was well.
Months went by, and things just got better. We both expressed deep feelings for each other, and eventually...the issue came back around. I don't like when things keep re-occuring it was another argument & at this point he wasn't as understanding, but still didn't isolate me and we went a lil while again without talking. As usual, things get back to normal the steam dissipates. Keep in mind, I always apologize also for causing any stress about it.
Another few months go by, and she's an issue again. I'm being accused of something I didn't do, and he's halfway believing her. That's when I blow up & say that I'm fed up. I explained my feelings, he said I was being "attacking" when I was just expressing myself, said he was sorry, and that he "needed space" and that it was nothing against me just for himself.
I subsequently apologized for coming off too strong later, and I told him I was happy to give him as much space as he needs, and if he ever wants to talk to me again, I'd be there. This was the last thing I said, as I didn't want him thinking I meant to hurt him. I kept my distance staying positive and cheery, cause I know we both love each other, and whenever things cool off, we get back to normal, like magnets. But this is the first time it's gone this long, and he unfollowed me on social media this time. I know there's no way of knowing how much time a person needs away in their space, but is this a bad sign? He hasn't said he wanted things to end, just "space". I read if Leos care a great deal about you, they're very forgiving and always come back, but how true is this? Is this just a nice way of him withdrawing from me? :/

*Scratching my head...so ummmm were you guys at any point officially together?

Another social media crap, who cares if he follows you or unfollows you? It's fucking social media

Yeah we were official. I don't usually take the social media serious either, but only cause it's a first?

She would be the one constantly coming up on him, and they would talk. Just that. I do trust him, always did, just didn't like that he believed an accusation coming from her, on me recently. And blew up. Then apologized. I'm trying the 'stop reading into everything/moves' thing, and it's helpful.

Thing is I don't know if I did ruin it? :/

Thanks!!

yeeaah I've always politely said it bothered me, and he did just like you said with the catering, I guess this is the only time also I feel like he owes me an apology, because I did nothing wrong, even tho I still said sorry about it all and respecting the space. I don't feel too bad, honestly.

It's not the end of the world I know lol but it's heartbreaking, and the space is really painful cause we were so close but I put up a front. I'm sure he's hurting too maybe?? If he didn't explicitly ask to end things, he'll come back I'm guessing?

That was very hopeful tho, thanks!

Sounds like this other person is still in the picture. I would just move on.

Thing is, when I would ask about her he would always affirm my position, and ask me to trust him, which I happily did because he never lied to me. It just looked suspicious at times, but I never tried to let that get to me, still trusted. Until that last thing :/

Ok... halfway believing her?

Or confronting you as though it was true?

What happened there?

You shouldn't have to defend yourself against an ex-girlfriend who is

OBVIOUSLY trying to break you two up.

smh

I wouldn't put up with that.

He confronted me as though it were true, I didn't entertain it at first cause that to me was ridiculous, but he didn't seemed convinced. And I agree, that's what I couldn't deal with.

Is it a bad idea to send a heartfelt apology after some time has passed or should I just give up?

bump

Why would you apologize when he is wrong?

Cause he said I was being 'attacking' -__-

I'm a Leo moon and he's an Aqua moon if that helps in any way

He's only said sorry for how I was feeling, and needed space. Said it was nothing against me but I'm wondering if Leos just slowly walk away to avoid drama or would they be blunt about ending things?

It sounds like YOU were attacked.

The ex whispers some thing false in his ear...

He BELIEVES it ...

*dramatic pause*

And this offended the hell out of you... rightly so.

My advice-- unless you believe deeeep down that you

are wrong-- stand your ground.

If you apologize when you reacted as any normal person

would... he will continue to disrespect you.

Sounds fair enough, I won't apologize for my reaction and feeling attacked myself, but I think I know what I should apologize for. I guess I'll do that.

Thanks!

He's full of crap and feeling guilty because he knows that he shouldn't entertain the ex the way he has been, but like so many leos he loves the attention....and drama. But pretends it's too much....So he turns it around and draws you in by shifting some of the blame to you. Nice.

Don't you dare apologize no matter how much you want to be with him or even just speak to him. He wants space, give it to him and you let him know your boundaries and it shouldn't depend on his needs alone. Your needs are just as important and should be priority for YOU.

Gems are too accepting and that gives others license to try and abuse us. Remember to honour yourself by being respectful to yourself. Good luck with your situation. 🙂

That's very uplifting advice lol thanks a lot, and yeah we do put up with a lot as Gems. I don't feel bad for things I've said, I guess he's just being dramatic with the unfollow and all that, I'll let him cool off and get his head straight.

The original question makes me think of a Leo friend I had when I was growing up. He was likeable but if you showed him to be wrong or to have made a mistake or something he would say "OK I let you off" as though it was YOUR fault!
