I’ll start with a little backstory. I just got on birth control pills 1-2 months ago and it kind of drives me crazy to be honest and on top of that, I naturally have a bad temper. My leo boyfriend handles my tantrums most of the times, I’m grateful. However, I don’t even mean to react the way I do sometimes, it just happens. He doesn’t understand that for sure. Last week, we had a huge fight because I kind of yelled at him in front of everyone, which was not the right thing to do. I apologized a couple of times but I still don’t know if he’s over it, I have a feeling he is not. He has started calling and texting less. He meets me at least 3 times a week which is great but I don’t know why I feel like I’m losing him. I feel like I’m pushing him away and he’s losing interest. Advice on how to fix things and rebuild the bond?

He'd rather be with a woman who's in full grasp of her faculties than an overgrown petulant child. He's cutting his losses, as he should be.

Leos are also social creatures, so when you embarrassed him in front of the dozens.....and dozens of Mankind fans, you committed a cardinal sin. No amount of apologies will fix it because - as you admitted yourself - you're always out of control. Noone in their right mind would tolerate it for long and he deserves a medal for putting up with you this far.

There's no fixing things and rebuilding the bond unless you get a personality transplant. He's gone, and if you care about him in the slightest you will let him be because he deserves far better than you.

I'm...confused. Are you trying to say that you have a bad temper and go crazy when you're not on birth control? Why did you get off of birth control if it helps even out your mood?

You basically did the one thing you should never do with a Leo, which is to attempt to humiliate him in public. We Leos are proud and all about saving face. So while it's possible that the Leo has forgiven you, he definitely has not forgotten. That's not to say that your relationship is doomed, especially if this is your first public outburst. We Leos can take a lot of punishment. However if you keep up this behavior, you'll never know when he may switch off.

Leos are also infamous for our ability to go cold unbeknownst to the other party. We may warn you that you're on thin ice, but it can be jarring when you're suddenly dead to us. We can put on a really good face in public until we decide to leave.

If the Leo has cooled off a bit, you already know why. However if he's still meeting with you 3 times a week, then you haven't lost him..yet. You need to make sure never to do that again. If you have an issue with a Leo, handle it in private.

You can't use bad temper as a long term excuse nor blame it further on the birth control pills. He'll eventually feel it's just excuses for your internal problems.

Leos don't take bullshit for too long, if we feel that you take us for granted and do not know how to control your own emotions, lashing on us ever so often. We will slowly be detached emotionally to cut down bruised pride and if one day we made up our mind that you are no longer deserving of our kindness/love, we will start to fade away.

I'm the type of leo that tend to push the other person to change, or stress them enough to make them leave since I do not give up easily. (Or should I say I don't really initiate break ups until its beyond hope)
