When this Leo gets mad he blows up n is very harsh. Before I used to go back and forth but I realized it only mad it worse. So now I let him explode. N then He feels like an asshole a few hours later. He tells me express how I feel but I told him when I do he has a fit n says a blame him for everything. Which I don’t only the things that are CLEARLY his fault. I told him everything always goes according to his timing. It’s when he wants to do it. It’s when he wants to see it. It’s when he wants to go. I told him I’m not making plans or anything with him anymore. If he wants to do something he can let me kno. This morning he hit me with “I can’t properly articulate what I want to say so i’ll call you later if you’re” I’m just sitting here thinking if it’s another outburst smh

I believe you are too weak to handle a Leo man.

You have to set clear boundaries from the start and sometimes put on a display of dominance to take his powertrip down a notch. Sure it might make his whiskers bristle, but deep down they respect power.

In short, you need to challenge him. But you are too easy to overtake ---> which bores him ---> which makes him irritable. Sound familiar? A happy Leo will be bouncing off the walls daily.

Relinquishing total control to him places you waaaaay beneath him in the pecking order. He won't see you as a contender or an equal, and he won't respect you as his partner.

You should've seen what I had to resort to yesterday to tame my beast...

Well a few things: First (and most importantly_ this Leo needs to learn how to control his temper. No on has time for a person who can't keep his silly little emotions in check. If the Leo needs drama in his relationships, you should figure that out fast to see if this relationship is even worth your time.

Second, running headfirst into a confrontation with a Leo is never the best idea, not because the Leo will win necessarily, but because Leos are a fixed sign (meaning we can be very stubborn and hard to budge). A Leo will hold to a point/idea/argument for a long time, which can be exhausting over time for the both of you. A Leo can fight tooth and nail over something we believe in, meaning if you fight us we may take you down with us. If you do win the argument, it may like a hollow victory.

That's not to say that a Leo can't be reasoned with, in fact Leos can be very pragmactic and easy to persuade. Approaching a Leo's sense of pragmatism is the fastest way to win an argument. Even if the Leo is in the middle of a flare up, a Leo will calm down if they're the only one yelling. This is especially true if you're catering to the Leo's sense of self respect. Basically you don't need to be argumentative, just don't be a doormat.

The biggest issue I can see here is that the Leo is looking for some push back from you. Leo's need a partner we feel is an equal. We don't need a partner who is confrontational, but we do need a partner we can respect. A partner who is too passive or indirect will seem boring and/or weak-willed to us. So if you feel a certain way about a situation, let the Leo know.

If the Leo gets upset just calmly/sternly tell him, "While I'd like to discuss this, I'm not talking to you when you're flared up. You can speak to me when you calm down or not at all. I will not take your animosity or disrespect. If you're looking for a punching bag, you've got the wrong woman." Then stick to your guns and follow through with this statement. If the Leo continues to act poorly, simply leave. Spend less time being passive aggressive and make more of an attempt being direct/to the point. Libras may not be the best with confrontation, but being calm and persuasive is defnitely in your wheelhouse.

It’s not that I’m weak. I see no point of entertaining his tantrums. When he doesn’t get his way. He’s in a bad mood. I do t have energy to go back n forth. He’s 28 years old so I’m deff not. Arguments I don’t dive head first into. I think of my wording Bc my first instinct is to say exactly what I’m feeling. My he’s sensitive at the same time to. When he knows he’s wrong about something he retorts back with a smart remark. Said he does that when someone is right. He gets insecure. When I argue back with him it becomes horrible. I defend my side and I don’t step down. He’ll resort to “don’t contact me” so for awhile a would and he would continue to be an ass. But now he says that so I don’t contact him. Within a day he finds the smallest reason to contact me. Tried to act like nothing ever happened.

I wouldn’t always speak up in the beginning because I was still trying too see what kind of guy he is. I don’t trust men easily and not trying to deal some kind of “domestic” problems but he’s not the type so I’ve been speaking up for myself and that’s not what he’s Used to. I told him that I’ve always been like this I just had to feel him out. I’m very blunt and have no problem speaking my mind. I just don’t like to argue if there’s no point. I’m willing to compromise and all that. N he’s very insecure n sensitive almost like a female.

He has the Virgo moon Libra rising Cancer Venus

So why are you with this guy then? You're not making him sound great at all. If you're being that blunt, then he may not be worth your time. At some point you need to be fine with walking away. It's really your choice to stay around a person like this. I'm a Leo Sun, Virgo Moon myself (Aries Rising, Libra Venus) and it just sounds like his insecurities are a waste of time. Sounds like it's time to cut him loose.

If I were to sit up here and tell you guys everything good about him then ya’ll would be reading for awhile. I spoke on one of the issues I have with him. Doesn’t mean it’s happening all the time. Just needed some insight. I also don’t give up on people easily. I’m not easy to deal with either. I wouldn’t want someone to give up on me. I realize everyone on here just says leave the person. Just because things aren’t perfect. But again I came on here so whatever you guys say....I asked for it. Thank you for your input.
