Posted by ZarahIs he aware that you see the word babe as being a derogatory word?
@happycapper yes that's the worst and first serious fight we have and babe is degatory the problem is he called me babe and I replied with a harsh tune when I said "what" I'm 21 and his 33

in the mid 90s there was a minor feminist movement where the term "babe" was being redefined as derogatory,

Listen, the guy likes you and therefore cares how you perceive him. He used the word in a non hostile manner, perhaps in an attempt to defuse the situation and to initiate affection. Your response hurt his ego, and he is feeling hurt and embarrassed all in one, because he feels he showed weakness and you took advantage of it.

Hmm.
I get a pretty harsh tone sometimes. Especially after my long NICU days where I come home collecting my brains off the floor. Not an excuse but I'll be edgy. Sharp ass tongue. It's probably best I have no human contact after work to avoid any of it lol. But for some reason this leo hasn't given up on me. Yet.
I've never had a boyfriend so effected by my bitch faceness. He is very understanding and nurturing but the minute I get short or respond with attitude... There is this pause.... And a look... Gone too far.... I'm good at finding things to bitch about over nothing too. Just for the sake of bitching. I can really tear someone apart and for him I make great effort to not do that.
He gets so mopey and sad. It's a terrible state to see him in. He hates the disrespect. It's hard for him because all he wants to do is support me and love me.
One of the hardest things to do is to look within myself and recognize that. To talk to him about it and admit what an asshole I am being. We have moved mountains and grown so much. I have a tendency to blow up and not explain why.
Is there something missing to your story? It seems a little weird he would just disappear off of one WHAT lol

Am I the only one who understands what's going on?? It's not the word babe that is derogatory, it was the forceful/ disrespectful response of " what!!?" That is the problem. Honestly, it was a little disrespectful the way you responded, but you guys were having a fight. These things happen. He should forgive you, and you should agree not to answer your Leo like that. I don't see how he would break up with you over that though. That's just silly. Then again, Leo's do have fragile ego....

This man has control issues which he probably has been throwing at you the whole relationship.
I don't care how old he is...he is immature. All you said was "what" and apologized thereafter but he continues his little tirade to belittle you.
I honestly think this a doomed relationship, look at the age difference. He will never see you as his partner only a weak little girl. I don't care what no one says Leos need a strong secure woman that they can respect.

Posted by AriesLoveHeh the irony of your post is uncanny. I could easily counter, and say you have major insuperiority issues. It is not as simple as she just said "what". It is the delivery, that counts. She was being bratty (she admitted as much) and that "what" was probably dropped in a sarcastic manner, and in poor taste. Did he overreact? We just don't know, there are two sides to a story, and who knows the history here. it is very easy to judge and label someone as immature, but I could easily counter that and say the guy realized he is messing with a kid (which she is) and they are not compatible, so he just moved on before things get uglier. You know, things level headed individuals do? Recognize their mistakes, learn from them, and move on?
No he overreacted I definitely agree. He has control issues and is very immature.
I think people on these forums go way overboard with Leo a $ $ kissings. One thing is to appreciate a person and their good qualities but to constantly feed an ago that is immature and selfish is quite disgusting in my opinion.
No Leo will ever respect you. No man period.

Posted by ZarahI hate to think a male Leo would leave you for something so small. Then again some of us are easy to date, but hard to keep.
So my Leo man and I had a fight where he called me babe twice and I replied "what " in a kinda harsh tone although I didn't mean anything. Few minutes later he came into the room so **** and angry he said " I called you babe twice and all you could say was what" he also said "if you see me next time don't say hi "
I was shocked so I left to my place although I felt awful for replying him with the "what " because not everyone likes the word so when I got back home I sent him a text apologizing for everything then he replied with " go and learn respect by then you would have a boyfriend " I was scared has he broken up with me? And he recently posted a picture on his wall with a quote " when a relationship is ordained by God you don't need to force it to work " what does this mean? It's been been 5 days now we haven't talked. I'm confused

Yeah this is why dudes in their 30s go for just legal.
They can't chill with a chick their own age that has expectations.
They need someone to control and mold. A young'in.
