OK so my guy always seems to get moody when I don't flirt or be lovey dovey, sexual with him. I find it weird and silly that it affect him to that degree. At times, I will fully hold back to see if he would snap out of it. He doesn't! The very moment I become his loving libra, omg he's back to the inspirational Leo leader man that I met 3 years ago. He starts posting moving status on his fb that draws his more humble buddies to comment. He's more bubbly and affectionate. Very intimate. Generous with his knowledge and kindness. He's so sexy at this period. Lord. I jus wish he would be that way without my gentle nudges.

Not complaining or any thing guess I'm interested in what y'all think. Does he even realize this in himself? In this moody periods if I ask wasup with him, he plays it off. Help me understand this so I don't end up playing with fire.

@cherishedlibra to answer your last query, yes I think he is very aware of this and knows exactly what he's feeling.
Leo Sun, Venus Virgo here- depending on one thing or the other tho, he does sound a tad needy.
But I'm like this too. Or not so much anymore but I've been there...
If you aren't in the mood for cuddlebuggin' I get it, but when you start withholding it just to see how far you can push me it makes me sooooo resentful.
Not a good feelz, ya feel me?
Communication. Keep communicating and communicating - the lines need to stay open.
Regardless of the game playing. And I'm sure he adores you 🙂 so good luck.

well leos NEED affection, we need love its like water to us, we do after all rule the heart. I have noticed though that i can be a little smothering and overly affectionate sometimes but if my partner gives it to me when i want it i find myself not asking for it ALL the time. I do start to calm down a bit with the affection, now if i see that you are withholding on purpose or for any other reason (i might start to think i am too much for you) thats probably the way your bf feels and thats why he sulks a little lol. Just be like "babe why do you get mad when i dont give you affection (POINT THIS OUT), you know i love you" BAM problem solved now he wont feel unwanted when you dont give him affection.

My mercury is in Leo, that being said I do recognize this sort of behavior in myself at times.. Plenty of us are guilty of being needy at times.. Leo is an emotional sign, what you call ego stroking is reassurance for me... Especially when I'm going through a lot of stress and I don't feel like I'm am/doing good enough, that's when I become a little more dependant on my partner for reassurance.. I'm never just "needy" for no reason, there's ALWAYS a reason. Maybe you've been really busy and haven't been showing as much affection as he's accustomed to, maybe he's got an underlying insecurity issue and wants reassurance that you want him and find him desirable..

Regardless, you have a problem with it and have tried a little game playing to see if he will "snap out of it".. Why not just address the issue? Talk to him for crying out loud.. Chances are he has realized a time or two that he's being demanding. A relationship takes maturity on both ends, if there's an issue talk about it... Talk to him privately and calmly and express to him that you've noticed a change in his behavior and you don't quite know what to make of it or understand where it's coming from..

I know Leo's get a bad wrap for being demanding of our partners but if he's a romantic like me; I'm one of those people that can be head over heels in love with a partner for years on end and yes it would be prefered that my partner adores me as much as I do them... Just talk to him about it.
I held back as in observing what I analyzed being more friend-like not ignoring him or playing any games. And yes we have talked about it. In my opinion, he doesn't want to seem vulnerable or weak so he avoids the answers. It could many factors. Most he ever said was he's my big baby and we laughed it off.(He likes making me laugh) Never been demanding of me tho. I care about him very deeply and admire him so much. I'm jus not sure if it healthy for him to want my reassurance as much as he wants.
What if I'm having issues and can't provide that energy for him? We haven't experienced that yet but it has been on my mind.


Your post and the others has given me much insight on the possibilities of what he's uncomfortable saying.

Kudos to y'all! Lol
