virgo bish complaining

The dude I'm dating is a Leo, we live together. I dont know if it's a virgo thing, but I love some "me-time" and it's so hard to get it atm, my lil leo is following me everywhere and he wants us to do everything together.

I feel bad for coming home from work and wanting to play fckn overwatch for an hour or two, while he's lying in bed next to me, looking like a little angry baby lion, which is not getting enough attention 🐈



He's Leo Sun, Moon and Merc, Aqua Asc, Gem Mars, Libra Venus.

What can I do to make this situation better? Am I the one being wrong or are we kinda opposite? I also got this Cap moon and I need some space and I have some hard time showing warm emotions.

You might not like what you get if you push him away. Leo are kind of extremists lol. Either too attached or when leo pride is hurt, completely detached. Leo don't really do in the middle so well. Maybe encourage him to go out with his friends or do something with his time. Or take up your own thing. Like gym or arts or something that gives you some alone time.


Okay, I told him several times - "go out, check your friends, have some fun", and he's like "But we never have enough time together, I wanna be with you", and thats that. I understand he wants together time and attention, but the more someone craves my attention-the less I want to give it..

Sounds like he's kinda whipped. Is your relationship new or have you just recently moved in together... or has this been going on for a long time?

You moved in together pretty soon. Does he not play computer games? So he doesn’t understand you want to play them and focus on them (I used to play overwatch, you kinda need to focus when playing that game). What hobbies did he have before you got together? Tell him you don’t want him to give them up, and you want him to have his friends. If he still doesn’t get it, you will have to tell him gently, he doesn’t sound like a guy who picks up on hints.

He was playing a lot of basketball, but right when we started dating he kinda fcked up his leg, now he's playing 1-max 2 times a week. Nice advices you gave me, thank you ❤️

It means he's crazy about you. Maybe its too much for you. Most people complain about the opposite. He might relax after a while but it seems like he's happy to have you.

You need time alone to chill and he needs to understand and respect that. Have you gently told him upfront about this need? If you have and he hasn't gotten the message, you should start putting less cushion in the way you tell him and he'll probably get the memo.

My Leo and I have this same issue. He also has Capricorn Moon and loves his alone time to chill after work and I am just like your Leo, sitting next to him and pouting for attention lmao. Your man needs to find shit to do while you recharge.

True!! And how do yall handle this situation? You also do something by yourself in the meantime? And when and how did you realise he is like that and needs his time, and how did you react? A lotta questions, I know

Do you spend quality time together?

Like doing things where your full attention is on each other...and not chores or things around the house.


Rarely..
click to expand



Sometimes moving in together feels like you’re together all the time but its not quality time. So even though you need me-time because you aleays have someone around, hes not getting quality time that fills him up.

So youre getting bit depleted but hes not getting filled up from it either.

One way is to dedicate quality time a bit every day like dinner with no distractions and an activity after like having tea/wine together and talking.

Or dedicate a full day on the weekend.

Awww im glad that helped. Very rarely advice makes a difference haha esp dxp.

Yeah keep us updated. And maybe even a step further tell him you want to spend quality time together and what does that look like for him so you can ser what his version of “quality time” is.
